Mechanical Engineering Digital Class Room: Industrial Case studies

Mechanical Engineering Case Studies

Objective:

Case studies in Mechanical Engineering provide real-life examples of the application of Engineering fundamentals. Mechanical Engineering and System Design courses cover topics such as design, manufacturing, and heat transfer. The scope and specific topics covered by the case study are broader than the base material taught in the targeted courses.

The students used the design and fabrication of products with the Indian Research Centre requisition along with the course of 20ME5204 Design projects. Similarly, they are considered Industrial case studies through websites.

The course 20ME5204 is a third-year design project core course. The KRCT case was used to emphasize design for manufacturing concepts and provide a real-world application of manufacturing process analysis and cost estimation during product design. Students were provided with a sample 3D-printed version of the mechanical part,

Learning outcome:

students will be able to

Generate a need assessment and functional requirements

Design a product and analyze the design and results of the developed model

Develop teamwork and communication skills in class discussions

Keywords

Course Material

One of the case studies solved by KRCT Mechanical Engineering Department faculty and students

Machining is one kind of manufacturing processes, in which tool is used to remove the excess material from the work piece in the form of chips to produce the required product. Generally the machining process consists of various types of operations such as turning, boring, drilling, milling and grinding. In that, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled or cast, by means of a single-point cutting tool. That boring operation has the two different stages, stage one drill the nearest standard diameter of required final hole diameter, next the drilled hole is enlarged with boring tool as like an internal turning operation.

Benefits

KRCT Cases in Design Engineering relies on students to submit their past or present work term or design project reports as source materials for cases.

Below is a list of benefits that student gain from cases.

Publication of resume/scholarship application
Promoting research skills
Influence curriculum
Develops intuition and judgement
Motivation for putting effort into work term report
Enhanced classroom experience
Dealing with ambiguity “ill-posed design problems”
Case study competitions
Outcome-based learning
Develops intuition/judgment (more practice!)

Students sometimes struggle with the writing of work term reports. Information provided by KRCT can be used to guide this process, from selecting a suitable topic to the stages of report writing, to how to make your report comprehensive and of the highest quality.

Why a case study?

Case studies represent a real-world application of engineering principles. They engage students in the material and help them to develop the skills necessary to effectively apply their knowledge of engineering concepts to realistic challenges. They provide the appropriate context for concepts covered in class and can be used to bridge the gap between the classroom and the field by illustrating industrial applications of engineering principles.

How to use Case studies?

Case studies are a very flexible pedagogical tool. They can be used as in-class examples, as assignments, as quizzes, as the basis for group and class discussions, and/or as projects. Students can work on cases individually or in groups. Cases can take as little as one lecture or assignment or can form the basis for a term-long project.

Design Domain: Design has always been fundamental to the way people, companies and products present themselves.

Manufacturing Domain: Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools and chemical or biological processing.

Thermal Domain: Thermal engineering is a specialized sub-discipline of mechanical engineering that deals with the movement of heat energy and transfer.
