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:
- Prepare a report of cropping pattern, for the given minor or major irrigation project in your area with reference to growth in yield, increase in command and culturable area and economic status of the concern people.
- Conduct online/internet survey for Water shed management project s in the Maharashtra State with a detailed report of all relevant technical inputs.
- Prepare a report on the executed system of rain water harvesting with reference to its necessity, broad design parameters, economics in your area along with your comments.
- Summarize the relevant information in the form of the report from internet regarding types of satellite imagery to capture the necessary details of the given water resource projects.
- Prepare a report on the on any one executed system of Farm ponds/Jalayukt shivar schemes/drip irrigation scheme with emphasis on its suitability, costing, utility and maintenance after undertaking the visit to it.
