COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Introduce student to (mechanical) measurement techniques so as to appreciate relationship between process
and system in manufacturing domain and identifying techniques for quality assurance of various processes.

COURSE OUTCOME
At the end of the course the student can:
CO1: Identify the measuring process and appropriate measuring tools for various manufacturing /shapes/ processes.
CO2: Use and relate metrology parameters in drawings with manufacturing processes, dimensional accuracy and
tolerances of products.
CO3: Attain a hands on approach to practical measurements related to sensor based technology.
CO4: Relate to overall optimization in manufacturing domain; relationship between process parameters and
technology.
CO5: Identify techniques for the quality assurance of products in terms of process & resource management
