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, 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 micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Predict and test the performance of sensors of various kinds, including strain gages, thermocouples, tachometers, displacement transducers, dynamometers, pressure gages and transducers.
- Collect information of flow measuring devices.
- Perfrom comparative study of different parameters of LVDT various contact sensors.
- Perform comparative study of various non – contact sensors
- Visit to automobile workshop and observe the various sensors used in car. also prepare report of the same i.e name ,use, location, function.
- Visit the market and collect the sensor brochures with specifications of different manufactures.
- Prepare a list of instruments used for vibration measurement and analysis.
- Vist a power plant or manufacturing industry and identify situations where these sensors and instruments are used for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring.
