- The Process and Product related skills associated with each PrO is to be assessed according to a suggested sample given below:
Performance Indicators
- Developing/ using Institute Template
- Selecting relevant set up parameters
- Creating given drawing using relevant Commands.
- Dimensioning the given drawing and writing text using blocks and layers effectively.
- Answer to sample questions
- Submission of digital drawing file/plot in time
The above PrOs also comprise of the following social skills/attitudes which are Affective Domain Outcomes (ADOs) that are best developed through the laboratory/field based experience
- Follow safety practices to operate CAD workstations.
- Practice energy conservation.
- follow ethics and standards.
The ADOs are not specific to any one PrO, but are embedded in many PrOs. lienee, the acquisition of the ADOs takes place gradually in the student when s/he undertakes a series of practical experiences over a period of time. Moreover, the level of achievement of the ADOs according to Krathwohls Affective Domain Taxonomy” should gradually increase as planned below:
- Valuing Level” in lsl year
- Organising Level” in 2nd year
- Characterising Level” in 3rd year.

Suggested Special Instructional Strategies:
These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course:
- Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub topics.
- L in item No. 4 does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but different types of teaching methods and media that are to be employed to develop the outcomes.
- About 15-20% of the topics/sub-topics which is relatively simpler or descriptive in nature is to be given to the students for seif-directed learning and assess the development of the COs through classroom presentations (see implementation guideline for details).
- With respect to item No. 10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and provisions for co-curricular activities.
- Guide students in undertaking micro-projects.
- Bring real objects in the classroom for demonstration purpose.
- Demonstrate use of various commands of CAD using LCD projector/ interactive board, during hands on sessions.
- Show videos and animations to explain use of layers, blocks and other relevant commands.
- Demonstrate use of hardware like plotter.
Suggested Micro-Projects
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshopbased. laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects are given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- 2D Transmission: Each batch will identify fasteners, couplings, joints used in plastic machines and using CAD software prepare drawings. The figures should be labeled and dimensioned using software.
- 2D Machinery components: Each batch will identify machinery components used in plastic machines and using CAD software prepare drawings. The figures should be labeled and dimensioned using software.
- 3D Transmission: Each batch will identify fasteners, couplings, joints used in plastic machines and using CAD software prepare isometric drawings. The figures should be labeled and dimensioned using software.
- 3D Machinery components: Each batch will identify machinery components used in plastic machines and using CAD software prepare isometric drawings. The figures should be labeled and dimensioned using software.
- Digital Drawings: Each batch will identify manual drawings of machinery components used in plastic machines and using CAD software create digital drawings using relevant software.
