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 arc 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 pro jects 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:
- Prepare a pipe layout water suppy of your lab from supply reservoir and calculate the loss of head.
- Prepare a chart of showing all the pressure and flow measuring devices.
- Prepare a demonstration model of hydroelectric power plant.
- Calculate running cost of your house hold pump and verify the electricity bill.
- Gather information of hydroelectric power plants in Maharashtra, India and world.
- Visit a hydroelectric power plant and write report.
- Make a video to explain the Hydraulic power generation which could be understood by common man.
- Select a pump for a coolant recirculation in lathe machine, Bore well pumps, pump at service station, pump used in water coolers, pump in purified water filter system with justification.
- Download catalogue of pump manufacturer like kirloskar, cri,texmo,etc and compare their parameters.
- Dissemble and assemble centrifugal pump for fault finding, troubleshooting and to identify wornout parts.
- Prepare display chart of types of pipes on the basis of mareial. size and applications.
- Study pressure gauges used by road side tyre wonks, blood pressure measurement by doctors., pressure gauges mounted on turbine test rig.
- Visit to nearby pump manufacturing unit
- Conduct market survey of pump suppliers and prepare report on technical specifications, area of applications, cost, material of different parts and maintenance procedure.
