Course Description:

This course helps in educating students about common mechanisms used in machines and
everyday life and analysis of motion characteristics of mechanisms. They learn the formation
of different mechanisms and its operations, designing of gears, Steering gear mechanisms.
Acquires knowledge on selection of mechanisms for required output motions, and forming
different mechanisms. The knowledge of this subject is very essential for an engineer in
designing the various parts of a machine
