Continuous revision of curriculum is important in academic institutions. First revision of the curriculum of Mechanical Engineering was completed in 1999. Second revision of the curriculum was started in 2009 and completed in 2015. It is important for engineering practice to make competitive curriculum for producing quality students by using modern techniques, skills and engineering tools. Analysis of Curriculum-1999 and 2009 were performed. General out lines of the curriculum revisions were introduced. Features of the curriculum revisions were discussed in detail. Competitive analysis of curriculums of contemporize universities of Asia were performed. Accreditation process were analysed, taking reference of European and American systems. Updating equipment in workshop and laboratories with latest technologies were found necessary.

Cutting Processes

Nowadays parts made of up-to-date engineering plastics are used more and morein mechanical engineering practice. These machine-elements are produced most frequentlyby injection molding or by one cutting process. The injection molding technology are usedgenerally for great number of pieces, in case of serial production while cutting processes arepreferred to piece (unit) or smaller number production.We used lathe and measured the main- and feeding-directional cutting force at differentengineering polymers (cast PA6, POM C and UHMW PE HD 1000). The analysis made canbe well used in practice.

Logistics Quality

Abstract This paper demonstrates the advantages of logistics studies which include detailed transportation simulations based on mechanical engineering principles. Complex transportation system parameters are often averaged, aggregated, or assumed, resulting in models with questionable validity. Detailed simulations of route-specific real-world vehicle performance for analysis systems (such as Transport Probability Analysis) can often provide more accurate predictors of logistics system performance, resulting in valid projections of system transport times, costs, inventory levels, energy usage, standards, and quality control measures. A discussion of logistics is followed by examples of progressively complex logistics transportation simulations and models. Results of a moderately detailed performance-based simulation of high speed trains for the Texas Triangle are used to demonstrate the fallacy of assuming “average” performance measures. Future logistics studies will require detailed vehicle performance simulations using sound mechanical engineering practice, requiring interdisciplinary teams which include mechanical engineers.

The German guideline “Fracture Mechanics Proof of Strength for Engineering Components” has been released in 2001 as a result of activities sponsored by the Research Committee on Mechanical Engineering (FKM), task group “Component Strength”. The guideline compiles basics for the integrity assessment of cracked components subjected to static or cyclic loading and provides a step-by-step computational procedure for the use in engineering practice. The paper gives an overview of the guideline, describes its specific features, contents and some new topics included in the last 3rd edition (2006).

During pressing using high speed, the material is stressed to the limit of its mechanical properties. And this generates problems during production. For this reason, opens debate on the factors previously neglected, such as the strain rate. For determining the effect of strain rate on the pressing process has been designed to CTU, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Manufacturing Technology, equipment for monitoring the behaviour of the material at different strain rates. The article describes the creation of testing methodologies material behaviour using this device.

Industrial Needs

According to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, all engineering programs in Canada must include a minimum of 15% of activities allocated to design. One can assume that these activities vary in content and scope between different programs. In this context, how can we define engineering design? Is there a recognized academic definition? Should our design goals be aligned with industrial needs and practice and if so, what should be the content of our design activities and how should they be structured? How is it possible to reach academic design goals given the limited resources available in our engineering schools? These are some of questions that will be addressed in this paper with the intent of better understanding the very important aspect of design’s engineering practice. Additional topics include: the change in design philosophy and approach resulting from a major program reform in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Université de Sherbrooke as well as the importance of industrial partnerships in design projects.

Accrediting agencies are autonomous bodies commissioned mainly to grant accreditation to academic institutions that meet the prescribed quality standards. The accreditation process takes through a detailed systematic procedure that considers reviewing of the academic institution operations, whether teaching and learning offered to meet the quality standards, and encourages improvement to international standards. All accreditations offered by accrediting bodies call for institutional accreditation before any other type of accreditation is granted. Accreditation can be classified as international and national, where the process in both the methods have some common and different steps. Each accrediting body under the designated government authority has prescribed procedures, terms, and conditions to be fulfilled by institutions for the accreditation process. OAAA, CAA, and the NCAAA are the more active accrediting bodies operational in the GCC region commissioned in Oman, UAE, and KSA, respectively.
