Finding: This question posted to find out the
perception about Mechanical holders in industries. Large scale industries have
a higher mean of 4.0192 when compared to the small scale industries and medium
scale industries for the perception of diploma holders. The t-value for
perception is 0.851and the significance value is 0.4192 which is greater than
0.05. The f-value for perception is 0.146 and the significance value is 0.712
which is greater than 0.05. Hence there is no difference in perception about
the mechanical engineering diploma holders in the large scale industries,
medium scale industries and small scale industries.
5.2 Research question: Is there is any difference in the
opinion about the Mechanical diploma curriculum in the large scale industries,
medium scale industries and small scale industries?

Finding:. The curriculum of the diploma
program is generally revised once in three years. A committee comprising of
academicians and experts from industry will be constituted which undertake the
responsibility curriculum revision. This question is posted to find the present
diploma curriculum of Mechanical engineering satisfies the industrial
expectations in preparing technicians to face industrial needs. The medium
scale industries have a higher mean of 3.75 when compared to the large scale
industries and small scale industries. The t-value for is 0.101and the
significance value is 0.922which is greater than 0.05. The f-value for
perception is 1.411and the significance value is 0.293which is greater than
0.05 which shows that there is no significance difference in opinion about the
present depth of curriculum of mechanical engineering in small scale
industries, medium scale industries and the large scale industries.
