GUIDANCE FOR PRODUCTION ENGINEERING-3

The subjects for third year production engineering are-

SEMESTER-5    
  1. Industrial Automation
  2. Computational Methods of Engineering
  3. Welding and Allied Processes
  4. Metal Casting
  5. Machining of Materials
  6. Engineering Economics and Principles of Management
  7. Machine Tool Lab 2
  8. Material Testing Lab
  9. Mini Project
SEMESTER-6  
  1. Tool Engineering
  2. Metal Forming
  3. Industrial Engineering
  4. Instrumentation and Control
  5. Inspection and Quality Control
  6. Human Resource Management (Elective)
  7. Manufacturing Sciences Lab
  8. CAD/CAM Lab
  9. Mini Project 
The subjects may vary from university to university. This semester is a little easy compared to the syllabus of fourth semester. Industrial Automation is very interesting and important subject because these days almost all companies are making their systems and machines automated. Try to understand the subject in depth and also try to a research on a specific topic of automation according to your interest. Labs are easy compared to fourth semester. In fifth semester you can choose an elective subject from a list of subjects such as Automotive Engineering, Robotics and Robot Applications, Rapid Prototyping and Tooling, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision, etc. In sixth semester, there will be CAD/CAM Lab and they will teach you a particular designing software (designing software vary from university to university). For my lab it was PRO-E. And the most important thing in your third year is mini project.

There are a lot of important things that you should do during your third year. First, try to join for any certified course that is going to help you in interviews and career. If you are interested in designing, then you can join for courses like PRO-E, SOLID WORKS, CATIA, ANSYS, etc. Many students do engineering just to get a job in any sector (IT, Core, Banks, etc). They can do any programming courses like C, JAVA, etc or can go for IBPS (bank test) coaching. Make sure all these courses have a certificate which is acceptable throughout he world. Second, if you decided to go for higher studies (MBA, MS, M.Tech, etc), then you can join for coaching classes. Third year is the right time to join for such classes. Third thing to do is apply for internships. You can do internships ranging from a period of two weeks to 3 months. You can also do internship abroad during your engineering course. Final step is to make your mini project a huge success.

GUIDANCE FOR PRODUCTION ENGINEERING-2

The subjects for second year production engineering are- 

SEMESTER 3 
  1. Engineering Mathematics 3
  2. Humanities and Communication Skills
  3. Electrical Drives and Automation
  4. Mechanics of Solids
  5. Metallurgy and Material Science
  6. Machine Tool Technology
  7. Production Engineering Drawing/Machine Drawing
  8. Machine Tool Lab-1
SEMESTER 4 
  1. Engineering Mathematics 4
  2. Environmental Science
  3. Theory of Machines
  4. Fluid Mechanics and Machinery
  5. Design of Machine Elements
  6. Thermal Engineering
  7. Electrical and Electronics Lab
  8. Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Lab
The subjects may vary a little from university to university. Second year is the toughest year to study. To be specific fourth semester is the toughest semester of the entire course with all the core subjects clubbed together. Introduction of core subjects starts from third semester. Electrical Drives and Automation can be a bit difficult for students who have no base in physics/electrical. If you have understood Engineering Graphics during first year, then Production Engineering Drawing/Machine Drawing will be easy. In fourth semester, Electrical and Electronics Lab will be very difficult. Only relief in fourth semester is Environmental Science. If you have passed fourth semester, it is like passing the entire course.

Try to take seminars whenever possible and do try to take part in paper presentation competitions. Inquire about all courses available for higher studies like MS, M.Tech, MBA, etc. You might or might not go for higher studies after your course but knowing your interest (either management or technical) is very important. Always do paper presentations according to that interest. If in the end you do decide to go for higher studies, these paper presentations will certainly help you. Next important thing is to start thinking about topics for your mini project which has to be done during third year and about main project which has to be done during fourth year. Always try to do projects according to your higher studies interest. For example, if you are interested in doing MS in Robotics, try to do your paper presentations on Robotics and try to select a topic related to Robotics for mini project and main project. The selection process for MS is becoming tougher because there is a rush towards MS and having done paper presentations and projects on the course is certainly going to give you an upper hand.
