The actual distribution of marks at 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 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 various waste plastic products with recycling codes
- Prepare flow chart of plastic products to its disposal.
- Prepare chart of plastic waste recycling process.
- Gather information of plastic waste collection agencies and recycling industries.
- Visit an existing recycling unit/industry 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.
- Prepared the chart for eco system.

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 is given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:
- Waste collection and separation: Collect the plastic waste from houses, shops and sort them according to their size, color, codes and shape.
- Product recovery: Depolymerize the collected waste for monomer recovery.
- Energy Recovery: Pyrolysis of mixed waste plastic to produce fuel.
- Product Preparation: Prepare different products from waste plastics.
- Recycling machine making: Make recycling machine.
