AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING (15) &
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (19) MECHANICAL MEASUREMENT & METROLOGY
SUBJECT CODE: 2141901
B.E. 4th SEMESTER
Type of course: Under Graduate level
Prerequisite: Nil
Rationale:
Measurement and Metrology deals with the application of science in Mechanical Engineering. It
provides a means of assessing the suitability of measuring instruments, their calibration, and the
quality control of manufactured products. A product that is not manufactured according to
metrological specifications will have to incur heavy costs of comply with the specifications later.
Any compromise in quality creates rapid negative sentiments in the market and cost of recovering
the original market position would be quite high. Hence, an organization should strive towards a
ZERO – DEFECT regime in order to survive in a highly competitive market, ensuring this aspect
of manufacturing is the responsibility of a quality control engineer, who must be completely
familiar with measurements and metrology and also their limitations.
By educating in the area of Measurement and Metrology students will enable to seek employment
in engineering upon graduation while, at the same time, provide a firm foundation for the pursuit
of graduate studies in engineering.
