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:
- Prepare journals based on practical performed in laboratory.
- Prepare chart for mould parts and its function.
- List out materials for different parts of injection mould, blow mould etc.
- Select one mould drawing from industry. Estimate the cost of mould by using bill of material and machining cost from market.
- Download four mould manufacturing machines catalogues and study their technical specifications.
Suggested Special Instructional Strategies:
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.
- No. of practicals selection to be performed should cover all units.
- Show demo of CAI computer software related to mould manufacturing.
- Arrange a visit to tool room such as IGTR or any other mould manufacturing industry.
- Arrange expert lecture on non-conventional or advanced mould manufacturing techniques.
