- 8. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any) These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various outcomes in this course: a) Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/subtopics. b) Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects. c) Show animation/ video related to course content. d) Co-relating the importance of content of this course with other courses/ practical applications. (e.g. importance of a content in course or whole course related to A.C. Machines, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Power, Energy Conservation Switchgear and Protection etc. and in practical industrial &/ domestic applications. e) Guide students on how to address issues on environment and sustainability
- 12. 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-projects are group-based (group of 3 to 5). However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, the number of students in the group should not exceed three. The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based, 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 duration of the micro project should be about 1214 Basic Object Oriented Programming Course Code: C4316402 (fourteen to sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The students 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. This has to match the competency and the COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course teacher: a) Prepare chart showing working principle of renewable energy generation b) Prepare mini working model of solar panel with small load. c) Prepare mini working model of wind plant with small load. d) Prepare technical data sheet of 1 KW solar power panel.
