Suggested Student Activities:
Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related co-curricutar 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:
- Prepare chart showing various microwave components.
- Prepare /download an animation and share with the class to illustrate the working principle of the following
- Microwave Tubes
- EM wave propagation.
- Visit a place where waveguides are used for microwave communication (such as earth Station, Radio station, telephone exchange, airport. TV broadcast, navigation center) and prepare the report.
- Conduct a Library / Internet based survey of microwave components.
- Interpret the various BIS Code for microwave communication.
- Compare specifications of at least two different types of RADAR system.
Suggested Special Instructional Strategies:
These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of thfi__ 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, blit 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-curricutar activities.
- Guide students in undertaking micro-projects.
- Use proper equivalent analogy to explain different concepts.
- Use Flash/Animations to explain various micro wave components, tubes and RADAR systems.
- Use open source /MATLAB models to explain different concepts of microwave devices.
