Subject: Metrology: Academic Year:2017-2018 Branch: Mechanical Engineering Subject: Metrology Year / Sem: Iii / I

This document outlines the objectives, topics, and outcomes of a Metrology course for third year mechanical engineering students. The course covers measurement principles and techniques including gauges, instruments, and systems for inspecting linear and angular dimensions, surface roughness, gears, screws, flatness, and machine tool testing. Lectures cover unilateral and bilateral tolerance systems, measurement tools like micrometers, indicators, comparators, and interferometers, and evaluation of dimensions, roughness, profiles, and machine tool quality. The intended outcomes are for students to understand precision measurement concepts and applications for inspection and quality control.
