- 4.3. Directions control valves
- 4.4. Pressure control elements NOTES:- I. More Practical Exercises can be designed and offered by the concerned course teacher to develop the industry-relevant skills/outcomes to match the COs. The above table is only a representative list. II. It is compulsory to prepare log book/continuous records of exercises. It is also required to get each exercise recorded in log book/continuous records, checked and duly dated signed by teacher. CA component of practical marks is dependent on continuous and timely evaluation of exercises. III. Term work report must not include any photocopy/ies, printed manual/pages, litho, etc. It must be hand written / hand drawn by student only. a. Brief details of industry visited. b. Type, location, products, rough layout, human resource, etc., of industry. c. Details, description and broad specifications of machineries/processes observed. d. Safety norms and precautions observed. e. Any other details/ observations asked by accompanying faculty. IV. For practical ESE part, students are to be assessed for competencies achieved. They should be assigned the necessary data and should be given any one experience to perform. The following are some sample 'Process' and 'Product' related skills (more may be added/deleted depending on the GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Program Name: Engineering Level: Diploma Branch: Mechatronics Engineering Course / Subject Code : DI03020021 Subject Name : Fundamentals of Thermal and Fluid Devices w.e.f. 2024-25 http://syllabus.gtu.ac.in/ Page 5 of 7 course) that occur in the above-listed Practical Exercises of this course required, which are embedded in the COs and, ultimately, the competency.
