Linking Subjects in the Curriculum of Mechanical/Automobile Engineering

Abstract

This paper explains how different subjects in a B.E. Mechanical and Automobile Engineering curriculum are covered in single industrial product(s). As students learn various subjects during their 4-year Course, it becomes difficult for them to appreciate application of principles and theory of diverse subjects on a common platform. While the Final Year project does give a good opportunity to the students to understand the different subjects in one attempt, many a times it does not achieve the purpose fully. The product(s) chosen for the illustration are a Water Chiller which is used commonly in Central Air Conditioning Plants and an automobile itself. It is hoped that students will get a feel of vast scope of Mechanical as well as Automobile Engineering after reading this paper.
