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:
- Identify renewable and non renewable energy sources
- Identify the sources of pollution in your area
- Visit to construction site to identify energy resources
- Make a model of solar energy plant.
- Search software/freeware for the course content and write the report stating their applications.
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.
- Procure various materials required for practical exercises.
- Arrange visit to nearby industries and workshops for understanding various construction materials.
- Use video/animation films to explain various processes like Manufacturing of construction materials, concrete mixing, and base preparation for painting, mortar laying carpentry work, false ceiling.
- Use different instructional strategies in classroom teaching.
- Demonstrate different samples of various construction materials like Stone, aggregate of different sizes, timber, lime, bitumen, Bricks, tiles, precast concrete products, Water proofing material, Termite proofing material, Thermal insulating material, plaster of Paris, paints, distemper, and varnishes.
- Display various technical brochures of recent building materials.
