Suggested Student Activities:

Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare reports of about 5 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their (students) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews:

1. Undertake micro-projects related to road construction.
2. Observe the components of roadway and record the details of the same with necessary sketches.
3. Collect the information of NH and SF1 constructed and under construction across the country.
4. Visit the crowded area i.e. city/town/village and note down the traffic control devices to suggest the possible action for smooth traffic flow.
5. Collect the typical samples of drawings and legal documents required for road project form PWD office and prepare the detailed report

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, workshop-based, 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:

1. Collect all the details of all types of existing NH, SH across the country.
2. Evaluate the camber and gradient of any one road of each type of pavement in the vicinity of area of college.
3. Develop the photographic model of typical pavement structure for actual visited site.
4. Advance Techniques of repairs like CBTR , White topping, Preventive maintenance, overlays, MSA ( Million Standard Axle Load), utility system, encroachment , forest land under roads
5. Any other micro-projects suggested by subject faculty on similar line.
