Principal Message

It is pleasure to present the quarterly issue of the Newsletter of Vel Tech

High Tech Dr.Rangarajan Dr.Sakunthala Engineering College for the year 2017-

2018. I am very happy to meet you through this page. Vel Tech High Tech has

stood above the rest in its approach to education and in its pedagogies. The

ways we teach and the ways our students learn are unique and creative.

Education is not an act of acquiring knowledge but learning a skill to lead life

and forming one’s personality. Many constructive efforts have been taken to

improve our college results. As campus placements are progressing, efforts to

groom the students to serve the society are also in pace. I wish to record my

hearty congratulations to those who have brought laurels to the institution and

I appreciate all of you for working together as a team for the success of this

“Department of Mechanical Engineering Newsletter”.

Outcome Based Education (OBE)

Education forms the back bone of any country. System of Education

reveals the quality. As we know India has a population that is the youngest in

world and by 2020 we will have youngsters in the age of 21-24 who will be at

the start of their career, looking for good opportunities. But, in recent years in

our country we have seen a sharp decline in the employability of students

graduating from technical education, which proves to be a potential threat for a

nation that has youngest population.

Lot of initiatives that were taken to improve that quality of students, but

those gave little or no improvement. Based on lot of analysis Government

identified that the students lacked the potential skills and knowledge that are

required for employability or for pursuing higher education.

To bring improvement in the quality of education Indian Government

signed and became a permanent member of the “WASHINGTON ACCORD” on

13th June 2014, and started bringing reform under the initiative “OUTCOME

BASED EDUCATION”.

Understanding this impact and having extreme concerns over the quality

of students graduating and also the quality of graduates that we must produce

for our nation, we at our institution unanimously decided to follow the

OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION, to produce graduates who will bring up the

nation and who will shoulder great responsibilities in the near future.

OBE as the name indicates concentrates on the improvement of the

“outcomes or the required skills and knowledge” that a sudden must have at

the time of graduating. We at our institution and in turn in our school take

serious concern in attaining the attributes defined globally for the graduates.

Each program and the courses in a program are decided and also designed to

give specific skills required to enhance the quality.

Therefore, in our institution various skill development activities initiated

by our Principal Dr.E.Kamalanaban are being conducted in a way to aid the

cause of improvement.

Mr.E.Prakash-Learning Outcome on FDP TITLE - ME 6604 GDJP ❖ It helped to understand the basic concept of compressible fluid and its

properties.

❖ Understand the concept of ducts – flow through constant area ducts with heat transfer and friction.

❖ Understand the shocks in and its various parameters across the normal and

oblique shocks. It is very much useful for understand the concept of jet propulsion and space propulsion.

❖ Apart from this we had an opportunity to visit air engine analysis lab at Tagore Engg College.

Mr.A.Arun-Learning outcomes of FDP TITLE - ME 6401 KOM

❖ It helped to understand the basic components and layout of linkages in the assembly of a system machine.

❖ The principles in analyzing the assembly with respect to the displacement,

velocity, and acceleration at any point in a link of a mechanism. ❖ Understand the motion resulting from a specified set of linkages, design few

linkages mechanisms and cam mechanisms for specified output motions

and the basic concepts of toothed gearing kinematics of gear trains, the effects of friction in motion transmission and in machine components.

❖ Apart from this we had a one day workshop in CADD centre mylapore, about the kinematics of simple Mechanisms using Catia software.
