The actual distribution of marks at different taxonomy levels (of R, U and A) in the question paper may vary slightly from above table. b) 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 (student’s) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews: i. Industrial visit should be arranged by department for students so that students can have exposure to the real industrial realm. ii. Department should arrange a workshop/seminar where students can have interaction with industry personnel. c) SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any) a) Encourage students to perform experiments in groups of maximum 3 students b) Ask students to observe different types of automation systems implemented in public places like mall, theater etc. c) Show some videos/animation of related to automation systems.
