Title: Ideas and Innovations in Manufacturing Credit: 01

Course Category: PM Assessment Code: PJ

Course Description (100 to 120 words):

Manufacturing is the backbone of the Engineering domain. Concept without feasibility is futile.
Hence to make students aware about various manufacturing practices followed, and to impart
hand skills in students; Ideas and Innovations in Manufacturing offers hands-on experience.
The course is equally important to all the students irrespective of their branches. We are
offering a blend of conventional manufacturing practices along with latest trends in engineering
like Laser cutting, Welding simulation etc. Students are making utility products during
practicals. After completion of jobs, students are designing and manufacturing a micro project
of their choice which will demonstrate the manufacturing techniques they have learned during
the course.

Course Contents:
A) Perform jobs based on any three of the following six manufacturing processes:

a) Carpentry with Laser Engraving: Introduction to wood working, types of wood,

different carpentry hand tools and machine tools used for wood working, types of
joints and laser engraving on wood.
Job includes an article with joining and carpentry operations along with laser
engraving. (E.g. Wooden office furniture like door panel, chair, Office article etc.
. Students will be exposed to various joints used in woodworking.

b) Welding with Simulation: Introduction to arc welding processes, SMAW:

working principles, Welding equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE),
Introduction to welding simulator, joining of materials.
Job includes an article demonstrating the joints used in arc welding process. (e.g.
lap, butt, T joint) along with Simulation.

c) Turning: Introduction to the Lathe, working mechanisms, operations on Lathe.

The job include an article with at least 3 basic turning operations.

d) Fitting: Introduction to types of files, Types of fits, fitting tools,

Job includes an article involving metal plates fitting to size, drilling, threading
and tapping operations.

e) Sheet Metal: Introduction to sheet metals, standard sheet metal sizes, and tools,
sheet metal operations: Rolling, Bending, Punching and Riveting.
Job includes development and forming of an article made from GI sheet metal.
(e.g. tray, scoop, funnel etc.)

f) 3D Printing: Introduction to Additive and Digital Manufacturing (AM), Rapid

prototyping, Process chain in AM technology, Applications of AM.
Job includes a 3D printed prototype component.

B) Micro project based on Ideas and Innovations in Manufacturing

● The project should be completed in groups of three to five students each.
● Literature survey will involve library books, internet resources and published
reports.
● The project should involve applications in the engineering field.
● Students should formulate a process that results in a prototype of a product aimed
at effective and efficient manufacturing.

C) Demonstration (Any two):

a) Assembly and Inspection of Components: Dismantle and assembly of
Components/ Products /Tooling for machines. Video demonstration of assembly of
any automobile/ mechanism with latest technologies, Importance of fit and
interchangeability.
