Course Rationale: The purpose of learning this course on machine design is to provide basic
knowledge to design different types of power transmission elements which are of mechanical
in nature and to bring out a relative comparison among them, with due emphasis on supports
for power transmission shaft.

Course Objective: At the end of this course on machine design the learner will be able

 Get acquaint with different types of mechanical drives

 Design of flat and V-belt drives
 Design of chain drives
 Design of brakes and clutches
 Selection of journal bearings
 Selection of anti-friction bearings
 Analysis of IC engine piston
 Analysis of connecting rod
 Analysis of crank shaft
 Design of spur, helical, bevel and worm gears
 Free hand sketching of assembly drawing to the design dimensions
Criteria for active learning module: Assessment of the learner will be done based on the
following active learning methods

1. Quiz at the end of each major topic

2. Tutorial at the end of each Course Outcome
3. Notes verification at the end of each major topic
4. Assembly drawings free hand sketching – 2 (over a semester)
5. Problem solving ability as a part of group activity
