Competency:
The aim of this course is to help the student to attain the following industry identified competency through various teaching learning experiences:
- Plan electrical installations with their cost estimates.
Course Outcomes:
The theory, practical experiences and relevant soft skills associated with this course are to be taught and implemented, so that the student demonstrates the following industry oriented COs associated with the above mentioned competency:
- Interpret various electrical diagrams.
- Prepare estimate of domestic and commercial electrical installations.
- Prepare estimate of industrial electrical installations.
- Prepare estimate of overhead and underground distribution lines.
- Prepare estimate of public lighting installations.
- Prepare quotation, tender and other related documents.Suggested Practicals / Exercises The practicals in this section are PrOs (i.e. sub-components of the COs) to be developed and assessed in the student for the attainment of the competency.
Practical Outcomes
- Summarize given section of National Electrical Code (NEC), 2011
- Interpret given single line diagram of any one existing residential/commercial installation.
- Design electrical installation scheme for given 1BHK residential unit/ electrical laboratory.
- Sketch installation plan showing location of accessories and switch boards.
- Calculate total load, number of light and power subcircuit and select proper main switch and distribution board.

- Sketch installation plan showing arrangement and location of poles. Prepare material schedule and estimate the cost of installation including labour charges and contingencies.
- Draw various electrical diagrams required for execution of installation work using CAD.
- Prepare tender documents, quotations, and bills for specified work.
Note:
- A suggestive list of PrOs is given in the above table. More such PrOs can be added to attain the COs and competency. A judicial mix of minimum 12 or more practical need to be performed, out of which, the practicals marked as *’ are compulsory, so that the student reaches the Precision Level’ of Dave’s Psychomotor Domain Taxonomy’ as generally required by the industry.
- The Process’ and Product’ related skills associated with each PrO is to be assessed according to a suggested sample given below:
Performance Indicators
- Sketching electrical diagrams
- Procedure
- Drawing using CAD
- Accuracy in estimation
- Answer to sample questions
- Submission of report in time
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.
- Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
- Maintain tools and equipment.
- 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 Krathwohl’s Affective Domain Taxonomy’ should gradually increase as planned below:
- Valuing Level’ in 1st year
- Organizing Level’ in 2nd year
- Characterizing Level’ in 3rd year.

- Collect any one electrical drawing of existing electrical installation and prepare estimate for the same.
- Collect tender published in newspaper or e-tender related to industrial or nonindustrial electrical installation and fill necessary documents.
- Prepare power point presentation for acquiring electrical installation work.
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 guideline for details).
- With respect to item No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and provisions for co-curricular activities.
