Machine Drawing and GD & T Laboratory(21MEL35)

Machine Drawing and GD& T laboratory is used by UG students for software aided drafting of machine parts and assembly drawings. This involves study of conventions in drawings that are widely adopted in engineering practice.

Machine Drawing is representation of a machine component or machine by lines according to certain set rules. A machine drawing generally gives all the external and internal details of the machine component from which it can be manufactured. Machine part is presented through a number of orthographic views, so that the size and shape of the component is fully understood. Part drawings and Assembly drawings belong to machine drawing. Part drawing is a detailed drawing of a component to facilitate its manufacture. A drawing that shows the various parts of a machine in their correct working locations is an assembly drawing.

The machining symbols, tolerances, bill of material, etc. are specified on the drawing. GD&T, short for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is used to define the nominal geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possible size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features. GD&T uses a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describe nominal geometry and its allowable variation.
Machine drawing lab facilitates the application of software for drafting machine parts and assembly of machine parts, detailed sectional views. Licensed version of Solid works-2019 is used at RVITM for drafting. Lab is well equipped with sufficient systems and ICT tools in a centralized A/C room.

Machine Drawing and GD & T Laboratory(21MEL35)

Introduction to python Laboratory is used by UG Students. Python is an interpreter, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python’s simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.

Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn’t catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, and so on. The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Python’s introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add a few print statements to the source: the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective.

The Lab is well equipped with 20 number of high-performance computers. Software packages such as having IDLE (short for Integrated Development and Learning Environment) is an integrated development environment for Python, which has been bundled with the default implementation of the language campus-wide it is free license available from python website, and the same has been installed in the system.
