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:
- Prepare journal of practicals.
- Undertake micro projects.
- Compile information from internet related to various mechanisms/elements like piston, crank, connecting rod, cam, clutch, brake, flywheel, governor, or animation of mechanism etc. along with functions and areas of application of each.
- List the mechanisms which you are using in your day to day life. Sketch any three from these.
- List the different mechanisms used in a typical car.
- Identify and measure the dimensions of Flywheel used in automobile engines, generators, punching and riveting machines.
- Identify the type of clutches used in different automobiles and also the type of brakes in automobile and bicycle.

Suggested 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:
- Prepare working model of any one mechanism using low cost materials.
- Prepare animations of various mechanisms using free softwares available on internet.
- Market survey of belts for collecting specifications,.
- Field survey to collect information about applications of timing belts.
- Field survey to collect information about applications of flywheels and governors.
