The primary focus of any engineering laboratory/ field work in the technical education system is to develop the much needed industry relevant competencies and skills.
With this in view, MSBTE embarked on this innovative ‘I’ Scheme curricula for engineering
diploma programmes with outcome-based education as the focus and accordingly, relatively
large amount of time is allotted for the practical work. This displays the great importance of
laboratory work making each teacher; instructor and student to realize that every minute of
the laboratory time need to be effectively utilized to develop these outcomes, rather than
doing other mundane activities. Therefore, for the successful implementation of this
outcome-based curriculum, every practical has been designed to serve as a ‘vehicle’ to
develop this industry identified competency in every student. The practical skills are difficult
to develop through ‘chalk and duster’ activity in the classroom situation. Accordingly, the ‘I’
scheme laboratory manual development team designed the practicals to focus on the
outcomes, rather than the traditional age old practice of conducting practicals to ‘verify the
theory’ (which may become a byproduct along the way).
This laboratory manual is designed to help all stakeholders, especially the students,
teachers and instructors to develop in the student the pre-determined outcomes. It is expected
from each student that at least a day in advance, they have to thoroughly read through the
concerned practical procedure that they will do the next day and understand the minimum
theoretical background associated with the practical. Every practical in this manual begins by
identifying the competency, industry relevant skills, course outcomes and practical outcomes
which serve as a key focal point for doing the practical. The students will then become aware
about the skills they will achieve through procedure shown there and necessary precautions to
be taken, which will help them to apply in solving real-world problems in their professional
life.
This manual also provides guidelines to teachers and instructors to effectively
facilitate student-centered lab activities through each practical exercise by arranging and
managing necessary resources in order that the students follow the procedures and
precautions systematically ensuring the achievement of outcomes in the students.
Knowledge of various mechanisms and machines is a pre-requisite for enabling a
mechanical engineer to work in an industry. This course provides the knowledge of
kinematics and dynamics of different machine elements and popular mechanisms such as four
link mechanisms, cam-follower, belt-pulley, chain sprocket, gears, flywheel, brake and clutch
to enable a diploma holder to carry out maintenance of these and it also serves as a
prerequisite for course ‘Elements of Machine Design’ to be studied in later semester.
Although best possible care has been taken to check for errors (if any) in this
laboratory manual, perfection may elude us as this is the first edition of this manual. Any
errors and suggestions for improvement are solicited and highly welcome.
