CONTRIBUTION TO TEACHING AT AIT, BANGKOK (January 1994 - April 1994)


1. CNC MACHINE TOOLS (Technology, Design and Applications) [IE98A (3-0)]
This course was developed by me keeping into view the needs of post graduate Manufacturing Systems Engineering students of IEM program at AIT. In this course, the students have been taught the selection of CNC machine tools and the hardware and software technology of multiprocessor controllers for CNC machine tools. In the selection decisions the emphasis has been laid on the workpiece governed specification of CNC machine tools. The latest developments in turn mills, five face and five axes machining centres have been discussed at length. The lectures have been supported by several slides of actual hardware equipment. The lectures also included design/selection of feed drives including its elements and latest developments in improving the design of CNC machine tools.

2. PRODUCT DESIGN [IE98C (2-3)]
I contributed partially to this course. In the sessions taken by me I taught what and how of systematic approach to product design with the help of a case study of design of a drill dynamometer designed by an M.Tech student only and used in the Manufacturing Sciece course at IIT Delhi. Guidance was also provided to students in their design assignments and design project/lab. classes.

3. FMS [IE87 (3-0)]
Contribution to this course was also partial. The students were taught and evaluated for the sessions on UMS,FMC and FMS. The sessions were supported by video cassettes of case studies of factories employing FMS. In this course I also taught Industrial Robots and their applications.
