Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Levels: L1 – Remembering, L2 – Understanding, L3 – Applying, L4 – Analysing, L5 – Evaluating, and L6 – Creating
Course outcomes: After successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
- Reproduce the basic knowledge of mathematics and engineering in finding the strength in tension, compression, shear and torsion.
- Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems of structural elements subjected to flexure.
- Evaluate the impact of engineering solutions on the society and also will be aware of contemporary issues regarding failure of structures due to unsuitable materials.
Program Objectives (as per NBA)
- Engineering Knowledge.
- Evaluation of mechanical properties of structural materials.
- Interpretation of test results.
Question paper pattern:
- Group experiments – Tension test, compression test, torsion test and bending test.
- Individual Experiments – Remaining tests.
- Two questions are to be set – One from group experiments and the other as individual experiment.
- Instructions as printed on the cover page of answer script for split up of marks to be strictly followed.
- All exercises are to be included for practical examination.
