RATIONALE
The knowledge of materials, their properties and behavior is essential for
people associated with engineering activities. Materials technology plays an important role in
design and production of product from the point of view of reliability and performance of
product.
The curriculum of the subject emphasizes upon understanding the properties
and behavior of materials in correlation with their structure and external environmental
effects. The range of materials available for engineering use is quite vast, hence only the
basic groups of materials such as ferrous, non- ferrous non metallic materials along with their
general characteristic and application have been stressed.

RATIONALE
This course in mechanical Drafting has been prepared with a view to develop
elementary drafting skill in the students. Looking to the professional needs of the technicians,
more emphasis has been laid on the use of I.S. Code of practice and reading and
interpretation of drawings. The topics on multi view representation dimensioning and
tolerance, Free hand sketching and sections of M/c parts are included to build foundation for
production drawing. The topic of pipe drafting will help the students to understand the
importance and functions of piping system in industry.
Computer Graphics is a modern concept in Mechanical Drafting and
knowledge of computer interface like AutoCAD is needed like primary education to draw
and present drawing in electronic data form.

The technicians from mechanical engineering discipline are expected to know
much about this subject so as to fulfill his job functions efficiently. The knowledge is very
essential for those who are engaged in design, maintenance, shop- floor inspection, quality
control and production departments.
The course includes the study of behavior of Engineering materials and stress
produced in the structure due to various types of loading systems.
The subjects is kept in diploma course so that the students of mechanical
engineering discipline should know the proper use of material for common engineering
problems.

Professional Activities is not a descriptive course, as per conventional norms; therefore
specific content for this course cannot be prescribed. It is a group of open-ended activities;
where in variety of tasks are to be performed, to achieve objectives. However general
guidelines for achieving the target and procedure for its assessment are given under the
course content.
As the student has to practice this course in all the six semesters, the guidelines given therein
are common and applicable to each semester.
OBJECTIVES:
To allow for professional development of students as per the demand of engineering
profession.
To provide time for organization of student chapter activities of professional bodies)
i.e. Institute of engineers, ISTE or Computer Society of India etc.)
TO allow for development of abilities in students for leadership and public speaking
through organization of students seminar etc.
To provide time for organization of guest lectures by expert engineers/eminent
professionals of industry.
To provide time for organization of technical quiz or group discussion or any other
group activity.
To provide time for visiting library or using Internet.
To provide time for group discussion or solving case studies.
To provide time for personality development of students.
To provide time for working for social cause like awareness for environmental and
ecology etc.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS TO CONDUCT PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES

A. Study hours, if possible should be given greater time slot with a minimum of
two hrs/week to a maximum of four hrs/week.
B. This course should be evaluated on the basis of grades and mark sheet of
students, should have a separate mention of the grade awarded. There will be
no pass/fail in professional activities (PA).
C. Following grade scale of evaluation of performance in PA has been
established.
Grades
Level of performance
A
Excellent
B
Good
C
Fair
D
Average
E
Below Expectations
D. Grades once obtained in a particular examination shall become final and no
chance of improvement in grades will be given to the students.
E. Assessment of performance in PA is to be done internally by the Institution,
twice in a Semester/Term through a simultaneous evaluation of the candidate
by a group of three teachers, of the deptt. Concerned. Group of teachers will
jointly award the grade to candidate in the assessment. Best of the grades
obtained by the student in these two assessments shall be finally taken on the
mark sheet of the respective Semester/Term.
Candidate abstaining from the prescribed course work and/or assessment
planned at the Institute shall be marked ABSENT in the mark sheet, instead of
any grade.

observations, analysis, findings/conclusion) and its written report, awareness
of latest developments in the chosen programme of study.
G. Institution shall maintain the record of grades awarded to all the students in
PA for a period of 1 year.
H. It shall be mandatory for students to submit a compendium for his PA in the
form of a Journal.
I. Compendium shall contain following:
I. Record of written quiz.
II. Report/write up of seminar presented
III. Abstract of the guest lectures arranged in the Institution.
IV. Topic and outcome of the group discussion held.
V. Report on the problems solved through case studies.
VI. Report on social awareness camps( organized for social and

J. PA is not a descriptive course to be taught in the classroom by a particular
teacher. Various activities involved in the achievement of objectives of this
course should be distributed to a number of teachers so that the talent and
creativity of group of teachers benefit the treatment of the course content.
These activities should preferably be conducted in English language to
maintain continuity and provide reinforcement to skill development.
Small groups shall be formed like in tutorials, group discussion, case studies,
seminar, project methods, roll play and simulation to make the development of
