Suggested Titles of Micro-Projects:
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to 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 industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based, 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 micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Comparative study: Comparative study of various materials used in previous and current generation components of mechanical engineering equipments like IC Engine, Compressor, turbine, pumps, refrigerator, water cooler, Lathe Machine, Milling Machine, Drilling Machine grinding machine (any one) with proper justifications.
- Experimentation: Determine the hardness of different metallic components (min.5) and compare hardness and plot a bar chart indicating hardest and soft material in the given group.
- Experimentation: Determine the microstructure of different metallic components (min.5) using metallurgical Microscope and compare their microstructure in the given group
- Collection: Collect sample of various types of plastics, ceramics, composites used in day to day applications and prepare chart containing properties, applications of the samples.
- Collect information related to Types, Properties and applications of smart materials from websites. Present the information in the form of Chart.
