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:
- Collect information of industries manufacturing glass fibres. Prepare a report.
- Prepare chart for applications of various forms of fibres. Make class presentation.
- Collect literature on applications of hybrid and sandwich composites. Prepare a report.
- Collect information of industrial and domestic FRP products (manufacturers, suppliers, manufacturing technique
- Make class presentation.
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:
- Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub topics.
- L 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 LOs/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 students in undertaking micro-projects.
- Guide students for information search.
- Arrange industrial visits.
- Invite industry experts for guest lectures.
- 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.
- Encourage students to refer different websites to have deeper understanding of the subject.
- Observe continuously, monitor the performance of students in laboratory and give feedback.
