Suggested Student Activities:
Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare reports of about 5 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their (students) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews:
- Visit any nearby industry and prepare a list of mechatronics devices available with specifications.
- Do internet survey to create small mechatronics circuits.
- Prepare power point presentation or animation for understanding working of different sensors, actuators, PLC and transducers.
- Simulate different mechatronic systems using LabView/ hydraulic and pneumatic software.

Suggested Micro-Projects
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs 1o be assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be indusliy application based, internet-based, workshopbased, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects are given here. Similar micio-prujects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Design and testing of fluid power circuits to control
- Velocity
- direction and
- force of single and double acting actuators
- Perform speed control of AC and DC drives.
- Dissemble a digital weighing machine and understand how weight is measured.
- Dissemble a digital thermometer and try to understand how temperature is measured.
- Prepare a report on use of mechatronics elements in washing machine, lift, microwave oven, ATM etc.
