Course Objectives
- To develop an understanding of engineering mechanics, force systems, equilibrium, friction, and principles of motion.
- To introduce stress–strain behaviour, beam loading, strain measurement, and mechanical testing of materials.
- To impart fundamental knowledge of fluid properties, fluid statics, continuity, and Bernoulli’s principles.
- To develop an understanding of thermodynamic laws, processes, and air-standard internal combustion engine cycles.
- To familiarize students with engineering materials and fundamental casting, forming, powder metallurgy, and joining processes.

| 3. | Fluid Mechanics: Fluid properties; fluid statics, forces on submerged bodies, stability of floating bodies; fluid acceleration; differential equations of continuity; Bernoulli’s equation. | 20% |
| 4. | Thermodynamics: Thermodynamic systems and processes; zeroth and first laws of thermodynamics, calculation of work and heat in various processes; second law of thermodynamics. Internal Combustion Engines: Air-standard Otto, Diesel and dual cycles. | 20% |
| 5. | Materials & Manufacturing: Properties of engineering materials; stress-strain diagrams for engineering materials; casting; fundamentals of hot and cold working processes; principles of powder metallurgy. Principles of welding, brazing & soldering. | 20% |
Teaching-Learning Methodology
Taught using interactive lectures, industrial videos, and process equipment demonstrations wherever available. Concepts are directly linked to industry scenarios in ME & CE contexts. Tutorial sessions use simple case studies — selecting a pump for a mechanical power plants, analysing a beam in a civil structure. Minimal derivations — engineering judgment and application are the goal.
