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. Market survey to select type of cement for various types of construction works.
2. Visit to site under construction to collect detail information about the ingredients of concrete mix.
3. Visit to nearby RMC plant and draw flow chart.
4. Visit to site under construction to observe concreting operations.
5. Visit to site under construction to observe the quality of fresh concrete.
6. Visit to site under construction to observe form work, scaffolding used and joints in concrete.
7. Visit to site under construction and make a check list of effect of each property of Cement and aggregate on quality of concrete.

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, UO 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. Undertake any one micro-projects (Group of 4 to 6 students)
   1. Prepare cast in situ concrete of given grade. It includes visit to site, observations, records,field tests of cement, sand and coarse aggregate. Follow the concrete chain operations.
   2. Using IS code method of mix design obtain ingredients of concrete and prepare concrete.
2. Students should submit the project before the deadline

Note: Any other relevant micro project suggested by subject teacher.
