1. RATIONALE
Electrical and electronics engineering equipment is widely used in mechanical/
metallurgy/mining engineering applications and a diploma engineer from any of these
disciplines have to identify the related equipment being used in the industry with respect to
their working and major faults that could occur. Majority of mechanical/metallurgy/mining
industries are of small and medium scale where electrical engineers are not recruited. For
normal electrical and electronics tasks, shop floor mechanical /metallurgy/mining diploma
engineer needs to attend the situation. If electrical personnel are to be called to
electrical/electronic related issues, some basic reasons are primarily required to be known by
them. Therefore, this course will help the student to acquire the requisite knowledge and
skills.

2. COMPETENCIES (Programme Outcomes as per NBA Terminology)

The course content should be taught and with the aim to develop different types of skills so
that students are able to acquire following competencies
 Identify the major parts of electrical and electronic equipment being used in
mechanical/metallurgy/mining engineering applications with respect to
their working and major faults that could occur.
 Use electrical and electronic elements/systems to actuate simple mechanical
mechanism.
 Attend normal electrical faults and use electrical tools and instruments for
normal applications effectively.
