- To develop an understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer principles in computing, data centre, and electric vehicle systems.
- To familiarize students with machine elements and power transmission mechanisms used in modern mechanical and robotic systems.
- To provide foundational knowledge of conventional and advanced manufacturing processes, including additive and CNC manufacturing.
- To introduce mechatronics, actuators, robotics, drones, and Industry 4.0 concepts for emerging engineering applications.
Course Content
| Unit | Description | Weightage |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Engineering Mechanics and Strength of Materials (Basics): Types of forces and their effects; concept of stress and strain; beams — types of loads (point load, UDL), engineering materials — metals, polymers, ceramics, composites (properties and uses). Applications: frame of a laptop/server rack, load on a tower antenna, material selection for a robot arm, chassis of an electric vehicle. | 20% |
| 2. | Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer Basics: System and surroundings; laws of thermodynamics; heat transfer — conduction, convection, radiation. Applications: cooling fan and heat sink in a computer processor, AC in a server room/data centre, EV battery thermal management. | 20% |
| 3. | Machine Elements and Power Transmission: Fasteners — bolts, screws, keys (types and use); shafts and couplings — rigid and flexible; bearings — ball bearing and roller bearing; belts and chains. Applications: gear train in a robotic joint, belt drive in a 3D printer, ball bearings in drone motor. | 20% |
| 4. | Manufacturing Processes: Casting, forming, machining (drilling, milling, grinding), joining — soldering, brazing; additive manufacturing — 3D printing, CNC machining concept. Applications: 3D-printed drone frame, cast aluminium heat sink, welded server rack. | 20% |
| 5. | Mechatronics, Robotics, and Emerging Mechanical Systems: Introduction to mechatronics; actuators — DC motor, stepper motor, servo motor, hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, introduction to robotics (Cartesian, SCARA, articulated), drones — airframe, propulsion, flight controller concept and Industry 4.0. | 20% |
Teaching-Learning Methodology
Topics are taught using interactive lectures, short videos, and product demonstrations. Every concept is connected to a real product familiar to CSE/ECE/EE students — laptops, smartphones, drones, robots, 3D printers, and EVs. No heavy numerical problems — conceptual clarity and application awareness are the goals. Tutorial sessions use case studies and product teardown discussions.
