Note: This specification table provides general guidelines to assist student for their learning and to teachers to teach and assess students with respect to attainment of ULOs. The actual distribution of marks al different taxonomy levels (of R, U and A) in the question paper may vary from above table.
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 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:
- Collect samples of thermoplastic materials from surrounding places and make a chart with their properties and applications.
- Prepare a chart for abbreviations for plastic materials.
- Gather the information of plastic material manufacturer and suppliers (grades, rates, minimum quantity, bulk discounts, taxes, delivery period etc.).
- Visit an existing plastic material supplier/shop and collect information of registration procedure, plant layout, material data sheet, order size, commissions, manufacturers details and price, manpower requirement, rate list, annual turnover, major clients and terms and conditions. Make a report of it.
- Collect information of different engineering plastic materials used in automobile industries (type, prosperities, and end application).

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. S/he ought to submit it by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based, laboratory-based or field-based. 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 lhe micro-project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course.
In the first four semesters, the micro-project could be group-based. However, in higher semesters, it should 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. A suggestive list is given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty. Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare reports of about 4 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their (students) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews:
- Raw Material: Collect information (specifications, rates, terms and conditions, discounts, addresses) of raw materials manufacturers and suppliers of any two plastic materials manufacturing. Make class presentation.
- Material Preparation: Prepare any two thermosetting materials in the laboratory.
- Flow sheet: Prepare flow sheet for manufacturing of any two polymers.
- Model making: Prepare models of structure of polymers, (at least five polymers)
- Report writing: Prepare a report on applications of specialty polymers by using internet and journals.
