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 the various types of electrodes use in electrosurgical unit and develop a chart.
- Visit a nearby hospital and prepare the report on following basis;
- Location of the physiotherapy department and equipment.
- Problems frequently encountered in therapeutic equipment.
- Name of the equipment, manufacturer, cost, technical specifications of equipment.
- Prepare a troubleshooting chart of diathermy machine.
- Prepare a presentation of ultrasound therapy with its new trends and technologies.
- Prepare the chart of different transducer and electrodes in therapy machines.
- Prepare the chart for different electrodes related to Electro-surgical unit.
- Prepare a presentation on accident prevention.
- Use different method of accident preventions.
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 guidelines 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.
- Correlate subtopics with power system utility and electrical equipments.
- Use proper equivalent analogy to explain different concepts.
- Use Flash/Animations to explain various theorems in circuit analysis.
- Use open source PSpice/Matlab models to explain different concepts of electric circuit.
- Use the tutorial time period for micro projects, students suggested activities.
