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:

1. Prepare chart of types and names of fibre materials.
2. Prepare data sheet for properties of fibre materials.
3. Collect information on spinning machine specifications, manufacturers, cost etc.
4. Visit fibre manufacturing industry and prepare a report.

Suggested Special Instructional Strategies:

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate attainment of the various learning outcomes in this course:

1. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to te topics/Sub topics.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. With respect to item No. 10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and provisions for co-curricular activities.
5. Guide students in undertaking micro-projects.
6. Demonstrate students thoroughly before they start doing the practice.
7. Encourage students to refer different websites to have deeper understanding of the subject.
8. Observe continuously and monitor the performance of students in Lab.
9. Demonstrate students thoroughly before they start doing the practice.
10. Encourage students to refer different websites to have deeper understanding of the subject.
