Blog » PagesThere are two potent questions in my grey mind.
(i) Though in my 40 years of teaching no dumb (lacking the power of speech Ref: dictionary.reference.com/browse/dumb) student applied for admission to engineering. If it were true, should I have had denied him/her admission?). I hope not.. on the contrary the student shall get preference- because of handicap quota.
(ii) What would have happened if I had not wasted my precious years learning German, when I was not to be exposed to advanced literature ( technical or other) right one at right time
The former question has a rider attached. because the dumb has a guised meaning too as it may… [simplify or reduce the intellectual content of something so as to make it accessible to a larger number of people.] In that case the situation is twinned to negative side.
My focus in this discussion is on the 1st problem. Some help is solicited?
Let me recall a real life example: Read More
We had called a professional engineer (from industry) to conduct oral examination over minor projects developed by students

Course File of Quality Control and Competence
ME ( INDUSTRIAL METALLURGY & MATERIALS )
MT 511: QUALITY CONTROL AND COMPETENCE
Credits 4-0-0
PURPOSE
Quality Control and Competence’ is a course work which must indeed cater to the Total Quality Control, Quality Assurance and Quality Management (QM) requirements of the Industry so as to ensure industrial competence. Competence is an advanced stage of competitiveness, and only reduction of COPQ, 7 big losses, etc can act as industrial saviour. Systemic deployment of Quality management can help control PONC in the society.
Since the supplier must compensate for the losses suffered by the customer, the onus of supplier (business/ Industry) to ensure own sustainability is self explanatory. In the event of maintaining Quality supremacy the paradigm of “Quality is Free†gets endorsed, while Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) gets abated. Failing which the Price one has to pay for Non-Conformance (PONC) can be expected to exceed one’s reach .
Quality is life. Quality is availability for use. It is time. It depends upon Maintenace and repairability. HowReliability is associated need be understood.
The course work is expected to be taught using teacher’s commitment, experience and knowledge, and attitude to inculcate the same feeling of breakthrough improvement in one’s concept of controlling, monitoring and facilitation Quality of products, processes or both, in line with teachings of Guru’s of Quality, Deming, Juran and so on…with the objective to inculcate Quality through designing, controlling ( By using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) and Statistical Process Control(SPC) ) and improving knowledge of Quality Systems ( Say QMS, QFD ( Quality Function Deployment) and devise practice of applying Quality Tools ( Quality circles) to ensure Quality compliance. Principles of Quality Management and Total Quality Management, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing Like Lean Manufacturing, JIT, Concurrent Manufacturing, Cellular Manufacturing, use of Taguchi’s concepts in Quality Management and so on
The impetus for formulating a Quality Control and Competence course, was drawn from my personal realization for the needs of inculcating spirit of saving energy, need for environmental preservation, and resource conservation. The students should feel motivated to understand the relevance of these attributes as societal requirements of today and thus effect the paradigms of Zero defect, Kaizen, and Poka Yoke to make cheaper, fuctionally efficient, Potent and competent components.
The students are advised to further their interests in order to meet the requirements in view of job opportunities available for Quality aware engineers and in view of popularity of use of Quality control and standardisation in automobile industry, aerospace, electronics,. telecommunication, etc Introduction to ISO Standards viz ISO 9001:2000, TS 16949, TL 9000, AS 9000 ISO 14001:2004, OHSAS 18000 etc can be introduced if required .
Objectives are to:
i) Give a critical view of Quality Technology, processes, philososphiest etc and understand features/ parameters for efficient operations
ii) Inculcate the concept of Quality Attitude and systemic understanding and Improve problem solving skills.
iii) Interrelating conventional Metallurgy knowledge with that of Quality Technology for product/ process design learning/ course
iv) Develop confidence of causing Improvements
Program Outcomes
Statements that describe what students are expected to know and are able to demonstrate at the end of course. They can be:
Knowledge of subject matter,
Abilities and skills, or
Attitudes and personal traits
COURSE REQUIREMENT & GRADING POLICY
The students should be regular and involved in the class. Mere physical presence, mandatory to the extent of 80 % is not a scapegoat for course completion. There are generaly no defined tutorials, as more interactive teaching in the class includes some inputs earmarked for a tutorial class.
The students will earmark a note book and /or a register for the course. At any time the teacher may inspect their class notes to evaluate the seniority. The students should bring in their calculator in the class room, so as to involve in design development.
Assessment:
The assessment is an important requisite. Needless to say, it will be transparent and impartial. The assessment criteria and Distribution of Marks will be:
Quiz + Surprise Tests 05 + 05
Home Assignments 10
Project 10
I mid sem exam 30
II mid sem exam 30
Seminar on mutually discussed topic 10
to improve communication skills Total 100
Total No. of Assignments 05
Total No. of Quizes 05
There will be a total of 5 Assignments .
The students are desired to complete assignments and submit the solutions in a soft/ hard copy. The acknowledgement in soft copy /or hard copy should be sought, and confirmation will be made by sharing observations, areas of improvement or constructive criticism.
