Innovative Teaching Method: Demonstration of Geneva Mechanism

Name of Faculty: Prof. A. P. Kaldate

Subject: Kinematics of Machinery

Class: SE

 Overview:
To enhance understanding of intermittent motion mechanisms and real-world machine

components, a working model of the Geneva mechanism was developed and integrated into classroom teaching.

Objective:
The aim is to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical understanding, particularly in courses related to Theory of Machines, Kinematics of Machinery, or Mechanical Design.

Implementation:
A fully functional Geneva mechanism was fabricated and used to demonstrate:

  1. Conversion of continuous rotary motion into intermittent motion.
  2. Indexing mechanisms used in film projectors, packaging machines, and CNC indexing tables.
  3. Kinematic relationships between driver and driven components.

Teaching Strategy:

  1. Students observed live demonstration during lectures.
  2. A short explanatory video (e.g., APK.mp4) was shown to reinforce concepts.
  3. Post-demo discussions and quizzes were conducted to assess understanding.

Impact/Outcome:

  1. Improved student engagement and concept clarity.
  2. Students could better relate theoretical diagrams to real-world applications.
  3. Encouraged curiosity and innovation in mechanical systems.

Media Support:
A video demonstration is available as a part of the learning module to allow repeated viewing and revision.

Course: Kinematics of Machinery (202047)    

For the subject Kinematics of Machinery, mechanisms are very important and fundamental topic. To understand working of mechanism, students have prepared working model of the mechanism by using college cardboard and wooden. To make model they can use facility available in the college workshop and hands on experience of different manufacturing process. Four bar mechanism is very important and used in many applications to transfer motion and power. Governing parameter in four bar mechanism is length of the link, By selecting proper length of the links one can generate different inversions of mechanism. If there is change in the length of different link how the mechanisms work is very interesting concept. V-lab is used to simulate the mechanism in which students are able to change the length of the different links and understood the concept very clearly and then they proceed for the physical model of the mechanism.

For proper understanding of mechanism, students have prepared model of the mechanism as an innovative teaching mechanism.

For proper understanding of mechanism, simulation and explanation through presentation and animation of the mechanisms.

Summary Of Activity

 ·        The students of BE Division B took part in a role play activity to explain the introduction to hydro electric power plant. In this activity, the acted as different parts of the power plant, such as the dam, turbine, generator, and control room, to show how electricity is produced using water.

·        First, they explained how water is stored in dam and then released to flow through a turbine. The force of the moving water makes the turbine spin, which then turns the generator to hydroelectric power, like how it is a clean and renewable source of energy. Additionally, they mentioned some challenges, such as the effect on the environment and the high cost of building dams.

·        This activity make learning fun and helped students understand the topic more easily. It also imporved their teamwork, creativity and communication skills.

·        Through roleplay, they where able to visualize and explain the working of a hydroelectric powerplant in a simple and interesting way
