Course outcomes:
After successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Reproduce the basic knowledge of mathematics and engineering in finding the
strength in tension, compression, shear and torsion.
2. Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems of structural elements
subjected to flexure.
3. Evaluate the impact of engineering solutions on the society and also will be
aware of contemporary issues regarding failure of structures due to unsuitable
materials.
Program Objectives (as per NBA)
1. Engineering Knowledge.
2. Evaluation of mechanical properties of structural materials.
3. Interpretation of test results.
Question paper pattern:
• Group experiments - Tension test, compression test, torsion test and bending
test.
• Individual Experiments - Remaining tests.
• Two questions are to be set - One from group experiments and the other as
individual experiment.
• Instructions as printed on the cover page of answer script for split up of marks
to be strictly followed.
• All exercises are to be included for practical examination.
