Note
- A suggestive list of PrOs is given in the above table. More such PrOs can be added to attain the COs and competency. A judicial mix of minimum 12 or more practical need to be performed, out of which, the practicals marked as ‘* are compulsory, so that the student reaches the Precision Level’ of Dave ‘s Psychomotor Domain Taxonomy as generally required by the industry.
- The Process and Product related skills associated with each PrO is to be assessed according to a suggested sample given below:
Performance indicator with Weightage
- Selection of suitable .omponent. apparatus’instrument 20%
- Preparation of experimental setup 10%
- Setting and operation 10%
- Safety measures 10%
- Observations and Recording 10%
- Interpretation of result and Conclusion 20%
- Answer to sample questions 10%
- Submission of report in time 10%
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 experiences:
- Follow safe practices.
- Practice energy conservation
- Follow ethics.
The ADOs are not specific to any one PrO, but are embedded in many PrOs. Hence, 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 1st year
- Organising Level in 2nd year and
- Characterising Level in 3rd year
Major Equipment/ Instruments Required:
The major equipment with broad specification mentioned here will usher in uniformity in conduct of experiments, as well as aid to procure equipment by authorities concerned.

Suggested Special Instructional Strategies (If Any):
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
- 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 self-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 student ( s ) in undertaking micro-projects.
Suggested Micro-Projects:
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student assigned to him/her in the beginning of the semester S/he ought to submit it by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based, laboratory-based or field-based 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 microproject should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course
In the first four semesters, the micro-project could be group-based. However, in higher semesters, it should 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 A suggestive list is given here Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Water treatment plant: Visit nearby water treatment plant and prepare the report with Block diagram of water treatment process, List of unit operations used
- History of Chemical Engineering: Prepare a power point presentation on a topic f,n7/ Chemical Engineering history and evolution’
- Petroleum refinery ( Internet based assignment): Identify a petroleum refinery and Make the list of product manufactured, list of unit operations and unit processes identify the job role for a chemical engineer in petroleum industry with Safety aspects
- Domestic water purifier (Field assignment ): Visit 3 to 4 domestic water purifier from near by locality or service center, identify purification stages and prepare a report based on function of each stage
- Four wheeler service stations: Visit the four wheeler service station and study waste water recycling arrangement and prepare a report
- Industrial disaster: Prepare a report on Bhopal Gas tragedy containing cause of accident, Safety preparedness of a company and Impact of accident
