Design & Manufacturing - Short Answer Questions from AMIE Exams

Name two allied welding processes.
Brazing and soldering

Tool signature
Tool signature is the description of the cutting part of the tool. There are two systems for tool signature. (i) Machine reference system (or American Standard Association system) (ASA) (ii) Tool reference system (or Orthogonal rake system) (ORS)

Database Management System (DBMS) 
A database management system (DBMS) is system software for creating and managing databases. The DBMS provides users and programmers with a systematic way to create, retrieve, update and manage data. A DBMS makes it possible for end-users to create, read, update and delete data in a database. The DBMS essentially serves as an interface between the database and end-users or application programs, ensuring that data is consistently organized and remains easily accessible.

Hot and cold working of metals 
The metal working processes are derived into hot working and cold working processes. The division is on the basis of the amount of heating applied to the metal before applying the mechanical force. Those processes working above the recrystallization temperature are hot working processes whereas the below or termed as cold working processes.

Modelling vs. Simulation 
A model is a product (physical or digital) that represents a system of interest. A model is similar to but simpler than the system it represents while approximating most of the same salient features of the real system as close as possible. 
A simulation is a process of using a model to study the behaviour and performance of an actual or theoretical system. The purpose of a simulation is to study the characteristics of a real-life or fictional system by manipulating variables that cannot be controlled in a real system.  Simulating is the act of using a model for a simulation.

Hard Information and Soft information
  • Hard Information: is quantitative in nature and generally consists of facts, statistics, and other formally published Information. See also: Document, Fact.  Hard Information Examples: Maps, Compass, Library, Dictionary and Encyclopaedia 
  • Soft Information: is essentially qualitative in nature and consists of ideas, suggestions, opinions, Rumour, gossip, feedback, anecdotes, speculation, and tips. Soft Information Examples: Friends, News and the Internet.

Robot
A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electromechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry, and thus a type of embedded system.

Feasibility
As the name implies, a feasibility study is an analysis of the viability of an idea. The  feasibility study focuses on helping answer the essential question of “should we proceed with the  proposed project idea?” All activities of the study are directed toward helping answer this question.

AS/RS
An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS or AS/RS) consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations.

Group technology
Group technology or GT is a manufacturing technique in which parts having similarities in geometry, manufacturing process and/or functions are manufactured in one location using a few machines or processes. GT is based on a general principle that many problems are similar and by grouping similar problems, a single solution can be found to a set of problems, thus saving time and effort.

Meaning of AeSI withdrawing case from Delhi High Court and its implications for IEI

Image
There is breaking news - AeSI withdraws case from Delhi High Court on 27-05-2022. Does it mean that Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI)  is no more interested in conducting Section A and B exams and will only give membership? At first glance, it looks so. Fortunately, this conclusion is not true. To understand this let us go back to the past, just nine months back.  But first, let us understand what the problem is. The MHRD - AICTE in 2013 (and beyond), derecognised the equivalence criteria between engineering professional bodies (IEI, AeSI, IETE, IME, ICE and more such professional bodies) - Section A and Section B passed candidates, with that of B. Tech degree from an Indian University. In 2018, fresh admission was on hold as per the order given by Delhi High Court. Now, back to our story, AeSI came up with a better plan -  AeSI signed an MoU with Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science, Chennai (HITS)  in 2021. According to this MoU, students of Aeronautical Society who

AMIE aspirants are at crossroads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in the present scenario?

Image
  A lot of AMIE aspirants are at cross roads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in present scenario when fresh AMIE admissions and re-registration are suspended till further orders. The case is being fought in Delhi High Court and nobody knows the outcome. The social media is full of rumours which are void of substance. Under such a backdrop, a million-pound question is—should an AMIE aspirant, who is eligible to continue his AMIE, should stop or appear in whatever semesters left. Remember, stopping doing AMIE now may lead to loss of money and your hard core efforts. AMIE is still the cheapest option with so many advantages . You might have to spend many times more money joining AMIE in new protocol and with number of subjects almost double and practicals as many as 40! In our opinion, they must continue with it and try to finish their AMIE at the earliest. There is no harm in doing so as it is the lowest cost option for working aspirants. It would work as a fixed deposit—will benef
