MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DRAWING
(MECH211)
Introduction to graphic language and design- means
and techniques. The third and the first angle projections. Orthographic
projection of points, lines, planes and solids. Principal and auxiliary
views. Views in a given direction. Sectional views. Intersection of
lines, planes and solids. Development of surfaces. Drafting practices.
Dimensioning, fits and tolerancing. Computer-aided drawing and solid
modelling. Working drawings - detail and assembly drawing. Design
practice. Machine elements representation. Lectures: three hours per
week. Tutorial: two hours per week - includes learning of a CAD
software.
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
(MECH311)
Prerequisite: MECH 313. Fundamentals of
manufacturing processes and their limitations, metrology, machine shop
practice,
safety and health considerations, forming, conventional machining and
casting
processes, welding and joining, plastic production, and
non-conventional
machining techniques. Sustainable technologies. Laboratory includes
instruction
and practice on conventional machine tools and a manufacturing project.
Lectures: three hours per week. Tutorial: two hours per week, including
industrial visits and field trips to local industries. Laboratory:
three hours

MECHANICAL DRAWING AND
DESIGN(MECH313)
Introduction to engineering design and design
process. Problem definition,
solution formulation, model development and collaboration aspects of
design
process.The use of drawings and other graphical methods in the process
of
engineering design. Industrial standards and specifications, design of
fits,
linear and geometrical tolerances. Design projects based on design
philosophies
will involve design and selection of many standard machine
components like
mechanical drives, cams, clutches, couplings, brakes, seals, fasteners,
springs,
and bearings. Drawing representation of standard components. Design
projects are
an integral part of this course. Lectures: three hours per week.
Tutorial: two
hours per week.
