BSS Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Year 2)

BSS Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Year 2)

1. Machine Design Students learn how machines are designed to be functional, safe, reliable, and cost-effective. Key tools covered include: CAD (Computer-Aided Design): Enables accurate 3D modeling and design modifications. FEA (Finite Element Analysis): Used to predict how components behave under forces, heat, and loads. Gears, Shafts, Bearings: Basic elements that transmit power and motion in machinery. 2. Heat and Mass Transfer This unit covers how heat moves through materials and fluids: Conduction, convection, radiation Use and applications of heat exchangers in industries such as HVAC, automotive, chemical processing, and power plants. 3. Control Systems and Automation Students explore how automated systems maintain stable operation: Components: Sensors, controllers, actuators Open-loop vs closed-loop control Benefits of automation: speed, accuracy, consistency, productivity 4. Maintenance and Reliability Engineering Ensures machines remain safe and operational: Preventive maintenance: scheduled checks, servicing, part replacements Predictive maintenance: vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, ultrasonic testing Failure analysis: finding root causes using tools like 5 Whys and Fishbone diagrams 5. Project Planning and Management Introduces students to engineering project workflows: Principles: objectives, stakeholder management, risk management Methods: Waterfall, Agile, Scrum Tools: Gantt charts, Kanban boards, planning software Cost analysis, budgeting, and financial control 6. Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Covers modern industry technologies: Applications in automotive, aerospace, electronics, healthcare, energy Opportunities: high efficiency, customization, sustainability Challenges: skill gaps, high investment, integration issues Introduction to 3D printing, robotics, and smart manufacturing 7. Quality Control in NDT Non-destructive testing ensures product integrity without damage: Techniques: Ultrasonic, Radiographic, Magnetic Particle Testing Importance of standards like ISO 9712, ISO 17025, ASNT certifications Ensuring compliance, safety, and reliability 8. Environmental Engineering & Sustainability Focuses on reducing environmental impact: Energy efficiency in different sectors Pollution control: scrubbers, ESPs, carbon capture Waste reduction: lean manufacturing, recycling Sustainable innovations: solar/wind tech, green buildings, smart cities 9. Capstone Projects, Internships & Training Students gain real-world experience through: Industry-based projects Teamwork and communication strategies Presentation skills Internship requirements and reporting structure
