Performance Indicators
- Interpretation of data and its presentation. 10
- Selection of case studies/ collection of data and its relevance/process followed in analysis, estimate, drawing and interpretation 30
- Precision in drawing sketches /data collection/ presentation, neatness, cleanliness, relevance with COs 30
- Individual work and working in groups 20
- Submission of assigned work in time 10
The above PrOs also comprise of the following social skills/attitudes which are Affective Domain Outcomes (ADOs) that are best developed through the laboratory/field based experiences:
- Follow safety practices.
- Practice good housekeeping.
- Work as a leader/a team member.
- Follow ethical Practices.
The ADOs are not specific to any one PrO, but are embedded in many PrOs. Hence, the acquisition of the ADOs takes place gradually in the student when s/he undertakes a series of practical experiences over a period of time. Moreover, the level of achievement of the ADOs according to Krathwohls Affective Domain Taxonomy should gradually increase as planned below:
- Valuing Levelin 1st year.
- Organization Level* in 2nd year.
- Characterization Level* in 3rd year.
MAJOR EQUIPMENT/ INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED
The major equipment with broad specification mentioned here will usher in uniformity in conduct of experiments, as well as aid to procure equipment by administrators.
- Concrete core cutter 10
- Rebound Hammer 8
- Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Equipment 9
- Compression Testing Machine, capacity minimum 2000 kN. 10
