Course Overview

Many products today are manufactured in the particulate form. These include pigments, cement, ceramic, catalysts, and pharmaceuticals. Understanding the physical mechanisms of these products and adequately handling their fine particles is a crucial step in manufacturing. The course in Mechanical Operation will teach you about the design and characteristics of these fine particles.

The candidates who enroll in the Mechanical Operation course will gain knowledge about the Science and Technology of particulate matter. This multidisciplinary field integrates several scientific disciplines and provides a well-rounded experience. The candidates will also learn about the critical physical process related to particles, solving mathematical equations, and the important tenets of particle size reduction.

This 4-week long course in Mechanical Operation by Swayam is taught by experienced faculty from IIT Roorkee. This is an undergraduate-level course, wherein Swayam will test candidates in their skills through regular assignments. The programme is free for all and the certification, which is paid, is optional.

Evaluation process

The certificate for the Mechanical Operation online course by Swayam is optional. During the training, the candidates will have to complete four assignments, for which the average assignment score should be >= 10/25. The final exam score should be >=30/75. The final score is prepared by taking 25% of the average assignment score and 75% of the final exam score.

Further, both the criteria, as mentioned earlier, should be fulfilled. If the final score is >=40/100, but either one of the requirements is not fulfilled, then the candidates will not receive the certificate.
