Exceeding - on to the man‘s might,
When an engineer adds value,
The concoction is anyone‘s sure delight,
As it brings (sights) a Vibgyor in a blue.
Such is an engineer‘s power quite..
Who energizes a generator to its rescue!
The Energy, proverbially, makes the mare go!
as in science, she invested the ideas to sow!
Wherein an engineer has had cast his shadow,
With the innovative spells he designed long ago,
Converting an unwarranted mechanical motion,
to a stimuli that humbles many a device to bow!
Onto any of worthy commands of we engineers,
like empowering the Robots to line up in a row!
An Engineer can bring life, say into a rotor…
by transforming a bunch of coils as in a motor?
While jars rotate to beyond as grinder or mixer,
Content therein may extrude as particle or wire,
with such a wish her innovative spell transpires!
Or, as a Directive Force the Change inspires.
…That the God is a supreme agent of Power…
Good he powered all the gadgets to empower.
Power is the potential that needs be managed!
It is the capacity that in any device surfaces…
once the stimulus is applied to its solace!
its power gets exponentially cited to a grace.
It is the power that decorates an engineer!
While any strategic device motions to cheer!
Power is the essence to a man‘s productivity,
which befalls a status of the coveted celebrity!
It is the might that empowers the user machine
Or a competence to achieve functions supreme,
awards it with a fortune to do rigours sublime,
such that the objectives are achieved in no time,
even when they need be driven from cloud nine.

The Guys and Gals of my Hind

In the medieval part in country Hind,
There lived some Guys and Gals in a Pradesh called Sind
The Guys never did use their mind,
That’s why they got severely left behind,
(No wonder they followed, in vain, the scent of daffodils in wind!)
But that complacency allowed Sind drift away from Hind

2005 Priyavrat Thareja

In the medieval part in country Hind,
People’s ego falsely rose, too high to be lost by the wind!
But before that it left them fairly behave as blind,
though emotionally the remained religious and kind,
Someone coolly patented their Basmati Rice and Tamarind

Classical Indian Education

The curriculum of education in Gurukulam,
Produced disciples as cool as lamb.
Though as tall in values as a tomb,
And as secure in knowledge as child in womb.

Mythologically they well aquainted with God Ram,
Yet mystically they were equally cupid with small RAM
Using PC’s to operating excellence of PARAM ( Indian Super Computer)
It is integrating technologically with precious DHARAM
Such, Gurukulam Shishyas today can holistically plan,
What rest consider as Chewing (iron) Grams.

The course ‘Powder Metallurgy’ is an advanced course in the family of the Manufacturing Technology. The course work will be taught with the objective to inculcate the concept of controlling and manipulating properties of Particulate materials, so as to produce components which were not producible by methods hitherto studied by you students.
The impetus for formulating a Powder Metallurgy course, is drawn from the high requirement of saving of energy, need for environmental preservation, and resource conservation. The students should feel motivated to understand the relevance of scientific principles/ Physics and chemistry of particulate systems and thus use the understanding to develop solid, near net or net, or dense components. Apart from solid components the situations where porous components could be deployed also need to be appreciated.

The result is a complete but new family of alloys of powder systems which go a long way in meeting specialized but both sophisticated and in-sophisticated (simple) requirements of manufactured components by our Society.

The basic purpose of this course is to teach technology, processes and design principles in Powder making, Compaction and Sintering and schemes of alloy modeling, use of alloy design, Compaction Die designs, Sintering furnace designs, component designs, powder-system designs, and use of paradigms like dispersion strengthened materials, etc.

The students are advised to further their interests in order to meet the requirements in view of job opportunities available for P/M aware engineers and in view of popularity of use of P/M in automobile industry, electronics, sintered carbides/ tools, .etc industries

Objectives are to:

i) Give a critical view of Powder Metallurgy Technology, processes, Equipment etc and understand design features/ parameters for efficient operations

ii) Inculcate the concept of Material consolidation and system convergence of Particulate materials.

iii) Analysis of problems in Particulate Materials and Improve problem solving skills.

iv) Interrelating conventional Metallurgy knowledge with that of Particulate Materials for product/ process design learning/ course

v) Develop design confidence

Program Outcomes
Statements that describe what students are expected to know and are able to demonstrate at the end of course. They can be:

Knowledge of subject matter,
Abilities and skills, or
Attitudes and personal traits
COURSE REQUIREMENT & GRADING POLICY

The students should be regular and involved in the class. Mere physical presence, mandatory to the extent of 80 % is not a scapegoat for course completion. There are generaly no defined tutorials, as more interactive teaching in the class includes some inputs earmarked for a tutorial class.

The students will earmark a note book and /or a register for the course. At any time the teacher may inspect their class notes to evaluate the seniority. The students should bring in their calculator in the class room, so as to involve in design development.

Assessment:

The assessment is an important requisite. Needless to say, it will be transparent and impartial. The assessment criteria and Distribution of Marks will be:

Quiz + Surprise Tests 05

Home Assignments 10

Project 10

I mid sem exam 20

II mid sem exam 20

Total No. of Assignments 05

Total No. of Quizes 05

There will be a total of 5 Assignments .

The students are desired to complete assignments and submit the solutions in a soft/ hard copy. The acknowledgement in soft copy /or hard copy should be sought, and confirmation will be made by sharing observations, areas of improvement or constructive criticism.
