L T P
- - 6
RATIONALE

As we know that, the psychomotor skills are mastered through practice, an opportunity
therefore, has been extended to students through this course to refine their skills in
different trades. The basic skills developed during first semester will be refined during this
course by doing higher order skills jobs. In addition to developing general manual and
machining skills in the students, the objective of development of sense of dignity of labour,
precision, safety at work places, team working and right attitude among the students will
also be met.

DETAILED CONTENTS (PRACTICALS)

Note: The students are supposed to come in proper workshop dress prescribed by
the institute. Wearing shoes in the workshop(s) is compulsory. Importance of
safety and cleanliness, safety measures and upkeep of tools, equipment and
environment in each of the following shops should be explained and practiced.
The students should prepare sketches of various tools/jobs in their practical
Notebook.
The following shops are included in the syllabus.
