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.
