JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Overview

Course overview: To provide a basic understanding of the wide range of activities encompassed by personnel working in standards and calibration laboratories. It covers the measurement process, types and correct use of measurement and test equipment, and measurement standards. It provides an opportunity for students to learn about measurement uncertainty and risk analysis. The course includes the procedures necessary to set up and to have knowledge on calibration. At the end of this subject the student is expected: It is expected to enforce, validate and verify predefined standards for traceability, accuracy, reliability, and precision. All of these are factors that would affect the validity of measurement. Although these standards vary widely, these are mandated by the government, the agencies, and some treaties. Consequently, these standards are verified and tested against a recognized quality system in calibration laboratories

Course Objectives:

• 1. To be familiar with the different instruments those are available for linear, angular, roundness and roughness measurements.
• 2. To be able to select and use the appropriate measuring instrument according to a specific requirement (in terms of accuracy, etc.)
• 3. It is the aim of this course to provide students with practical skills associated with each of these areas. Metrology activities include precision measurement of component features, form and geometry utilizing specialized measuring instruments and equipment.
• 4. Effectively designing product processing methods.
• 5. To enhance the ability of students to apply scientific methods of protection

Course Outcomes:

• 1. Graduates will demonstrate basic knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering
• 2. Graduates will demonstrate an understanding of their professional and ethical responsibilities
• 3. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to function on engineering and science laboratory teams, as well as on multidisciplinary design teams
• 4. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to identify, formulate and solve mechanical engineering problems
• 5. Graduates will have the confidence to apply engineering solutions in global and societal contexts. Graduates should be capable of self-education and clearly understand the value of life-long learning. Graduates will have ability to communicate in written, oral and graphical forms.
