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:

1. Prepare the chart showing software and their applications.
2. Prepare a model of any one construction material or machinery used in recent days.
3. Prepare a report on advanced machinery and materials.
4. Elaborate the process of mass housing, pre-engineered buildings etc.
5. Make posters showing site safety and its awareness.
6. Prepare the charts showing different types of safety rules and regulations of site.
