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:

1. Collect IS standards for testing of plastic products, (pipe, container, bottles, films, sheets)
2. Assist in consultancy and testing work of department.
3. Conduct awareness programmes in teams on quality awareness for society.
4. Gather information of plastic manufacturers and suppliers in team (grades, rates, minimum quantity, bulk discounts, taxes, delivery period etc.).
5. Visit an existing testing center and collect information of registration procedure, plant layout, machinery specifications and price, electrical load, manpower requirement, rate list, annual turnover, major clients and terms and conditions. Make a report of it.

Suggested Special Instructional Strategies:

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various learning outcomes in this course:

1. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub topics.
2. z/i 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.
3. 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).
4. With respect to item No. 10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and provisions for co-curricular activities.
5. Guide students in undertaking micro-projects.
6. Guide students for information search.
7. Arrange visits to quality test laboratory.
8. Invite quality control experts for guest lectures.
9. Assign micro projects to group of 4 to 5 students and let them prepare and present the project through PPT. Group shall submit a report which is limited to 5 pages.
