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. Prepare power point presentation about different types of valves.
2. Refer “www.vlab.co.in” and study any one relevant report.
3. Download the sketch of different valves used in a laboratory setup.

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, workshopbased, laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs 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. Collection of sample: Collect different samples of pipe fittings and valves from scrapyard.
2. Prepare cut section: Prepare cut section of pipe fittings /Valves.
3. Industry Visit: Visit nearby industry and prepare the report on different fittings and valves.
4. Visit pumping station: Visit water pumping station of municipal or local body and prepare a report on pumps and piping arrangement.
5. Fabricate Venturi tube: Fabricate Venturi tube using plastic pipes/fittings and prepare experimental setup demonstrating its use as pumping device.
6. Collection of sample: Collect the sample of different grades of lubricating and machine oil.
7. Prepare model: Prepare a model of gear pump/diferent types of impellers using thermocole.
