Materials science is the study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by a material’s composition and structure. It grew out of an amalgam of solid-state physics, metallurgy, and chemistry, since the rich variety of materials properties cannot be understood within the context of any single classical discipline.
This module describes the skills, knowledge and right attitudes required to match the learning process with occupation, develop action plan to meet occupation standards and relate occupation with the labor market demand. This module is intended for trainees pursuing Advanced Diploma in all engineering trades. The trainees will be able to identify the occupation and its learning processes. They will also be able to integrate in the working environment, set out the goals to perform the occupation and self-assessment. This module encourages greater motivation and, subsequently, a better integration of various learning. The trainees will be able to independently develop a comprehensive and clear vision of the occupation and training program at professional level.
Engineering mechanics is that branch of science which
deals with the behavior of a body when the body is at rest or in motion. The
engineering mechanics may be divided into Statics and Dynamics. The branch of
science, which deals with the study of a body when the body is at rest, is
known as Statics while the branch of
science which deals with the study of a body when the body is in motion, is
known as Dynamics. Dynamics is
further divided into kinematics and kinetics. The study of a body in motion,
when the forces which cause the motion are not considered, is called kinematics and if the forces are also
considered for the body in motion, that branch of science is called kinetics.
Machine Drawing
Hence, an engineer should posses good knowledge, not only in preparing a correct drawing
but also to read the drawing correctly. The course content of this book is expected to meet
these requirements.
The study of machine drawing mainly involves learning to sketch machine parts and to
make working and assembly drawings. This involves a study of those conventions in drawings
that are widely adopted in engineering practice.
