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:
- Collect the data of existing structures where direct and bending stresses have a predominant role(for example: Leaning Tower Of Pisa)
- Study the deflected shape and measure maximum deflection in a simply supported beam in laboratory.Check the results using analytical method.
- Compare Fixed Beam with Simply Supported Beam of same span and loading.
- Analyse given continuous beam using different methods and compare the results.
- Collect the data from YouTube/videos showing change in deflected shape due to change in number of supports in a beam.
- Prepare truss using given number of members and joints to carry given Jpadl use webtools/ video games available on internet such as Xconstruction) /
SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)
These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various 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 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
- Use Flash/Animations to explain various theorems in circuit analysis
- Assign unit wise tutorials to group of 4 to 5 students for solving problems unit wise.
- 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.
- Use of video animation films to explain concept, Facts and applications related to Theory of Structures.
- In respect of item 10 below teacher needs to ensure to create opportunity and provisions for such co curricular activities.
