Course Objectives

The course content enables students to:

  • Acquire the knowledge of Engineering metrology and its practice which is having increasing importance in industry.
  • Specifically makes the student to improve applications aspect in the measurements and control of process of manufacture
  • Impart the fundamental aspects of the metal cutting principles and their application in studying the behavior of various machining processes.
  • Train in knowing the fundamental parts of various machine tools and their kinematic schemes.
  • Discuss various principles of jigs and fixtures which will be used hold the work pieces in various machine tools

Course Outcome

At the end of the course, the student would be able to

  • Identify techniques to minimize the errors in measurement.
  • Identify methods and devices for measurement of length, angle, gear & thread parameters, surface roughness and geometric features of parts.
  • Understand working of lathe, shaper, planer, drilling, milling and grinding machines.
  • Comprehend speed and feed mechanisms of machine tools.
  • Estimate machining times for machining operations on machine tools
