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:
- Classify minimum three buildings near by your institute with reference to National Building Code- Part 111 (2005) and prepare a report.
- Identify the components of a building by inspecting the available model and prepare a report.
- Visit to construction site to observe brickwork. Sill, Lintel, Chajja, Slab, Parapet wall and prepare a 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. Plowever, 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:
- Prepare a sketchbook consisting of components of building (for Sketches which are not included in Practical sketch book).
- Collect the relevant information of recent technologies in building construction and prepare a report on it.
- Identify the different types of cracks and remedial measures and submit a report on case study.
- Collect the relevant information of different techniques of demolition of existing structure and submit a report on it.
- Prepare a summary report with reference to content in any one part of National Building Code.
- Carryout market survey for identifying various water proofing materials and prepare a report.
