8. Tutorials & Assignments

(Student team of 3or 4 members to be made, Tutorials and Assignments are to be submitted by each
team of students, team work is encouraged)
a. Balancing of rotating - Graphical and Analytical
b. Balancing of Reciprocating masses - Graphical and Analytical

9. Mini project
A group of four or five students will have to carry out a mini project which will have a software
component (program writing in Matlab / LabView/HTML5+Java) and / or a Hardware
component / experiment. Evaluation – Interim review after midsem, Final review and
presentation by the team. Team has to submit a report soft copy in PDF, a soft copy of the
presentation in PPT and Matlab or LabVIEW code,HTML5 +Java, Video of experiment / photos
of the hardware setup (student are allowed to choose the team members, same team will be
doing all group activity) . All approved HTML5 +Java code may find a chance to be hosted on
vlab.co.in the virtual lab website of MHRD. ,due credit to the developer will be given on the
website.
10. Class & Disciple
 Assignments are to be submitted by each team (not by individual students)
 A separate note book for ME 351, class note will be reviewed at regular intervals.
 Dishonesty / unethical behaviour (eg: malpractice like copying assignment, test , giving proxy
etc..) shall attract an negative mark of 10 (each time) to in semester evaluation. This shall be in
addition to the penalties awarded by the department / institution

ME351 MDV Jan 2020 Page 2 of 3

  Any malpractice like copying assignment, test etc will attract a negative mark of 10 to in
semester evaluation, both owner of the original and the copier will attract the negative mark. This
shall be in addition to the penalties awarded by the department / institution
 In any class, if attendance could not be taken due to lack of time, absence will be marked for
those students who were absent in previous class and class followed after that class in which
attendance was not taken.
 When attendance is taken by sheet circulation and sign, if any proxy is detected, the entire class
will be given absent. It is each students responsibility to check the neighbor is not marking a
proxy attendance.
 Late comers to class are not permitted to attend class
 Use of Moodle Virtual Class room is mandatory
 All notices, assignment, lecture notes etc. will be delivered only through Moodle (learning
management System) Virtual class room (https://courses.iris.nitk.ac.in/) ,
 Non availability of connectivity at the Hostel block shall not be treated as a reason for not using
Moodle and not doing online submissions.
 One page data sheet will be permitted for Mid sem and End Sem examination.

11. Evaluation Plan

1 End Semester Exam 50%
2 Mid Semester Exam 20%
3 Quizzes & Assignments 15%
4 Mini Project 15%
5 Total 100%

12. Requirements for Auditing the course

 Auditing students have to undergo all the evaluation processes as those for the crediting persons.
 Auditing students should secure marks corresponding to the CC grade or above in order to get
their names recommended for U-grade.
 Auditing students should secure at least 40 % marks at each phase of the evaluation process
failing which they shall not be permitted to continue further in the course.
