Course Overview
In view of the growing importance of English as a tool for global communication and the consequent
emphasis on training students to acquire language skills, the syllabus of English has been designed to
develop linguistic and communicative competencies of Engineering students. In English classes, the
focus should be on the development of competence in the areas of grammar and vocabulary and skills
development in terms of reading and writing. For this, the teachers should use the prescribed text for
detailed study. The students should be encouraged to read the texts/poems silently leading to reading
comprehension. Reading comprehension passages are given for practice in the class. The time should
be utilized for working out the exercises given after each excerpt, and also for supplementing the
exercises with authentic materials of a similar kind. For instance, newspaper articles, advertisements,
promotional material etc could be deployed as supplementary material to enhance their
communication skills. The focus of the syllabus is on language acquisition and skill development.

Course Overview
Composite materials are materials comprising two or more material phases with different physical
properties. Because they usually exhibit remarkable physical properties, in general superior to the
properties of their individual components, they appear pervasively in engineering applications (e.g.,
reinforced concrete in construction, fiber-reinforced materials for aircraft structures, reinforced rubber
in car tires). Despite being comprised multiple material phases with different physical properties, these
materials may be considered for practical purposes as homogeneous materials with physical material-
like effective properties.The course will focus primarily on the elastic properties of a wide range of
composites (laminated materials, particulate/fiber-reinforced composites, multidirectional laminates)
and will cover a number of engineering methods for the computation of the effective properties of

A4024-PRODUCT REALIZATION
1. Course Description
Course Overview
The accelerating demand for rapid product design and manufacturing, calls for constant technological
innovation. The art of launching latest technological concepts and creating better products for future is
achieved by strong Engineering judgment. Current research in this area includes lean product
development, integration of knowledge and learning into design through product realization and rapid
prototyping. In a similar note an initiative is taken to further explore and implement concepts like
product realization and concurrent engineering1 Design and manufacturing tasks are central to
mechanical engineering as these experiences begin in the freshman year and last until a real world
component is designed and manufactured at a senior level. This process introduces the students to the
concept of problems having more than one valid solution and to methods for generating parametric
solutions to problems 2. Thus, a curriculum that provides a base for future professional growth is
highlighted and enhanced by launching a ”learning laboratory”, or “research laboratory”, with state- of-
the- art rapid prototyping and experimental stress analysis devices 4.
