provisions for co-curricular activities.
e. Use Flash/Animations to explain various theorems in circuit analysis
f. Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
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-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, 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 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 are given here. Similar micro-projects could be
added by the concerned faculty:
a. Power / distribution transformer : Prepare chart showing three phase power /
distribution transformer.
b. Neutral grounding: Collect specification from different manufacturers and prepare
report.
c. Sub-station equipments: Collect specification from different manufacturers and
prepare report.
d. Gas Insulated Substation: Collect photographs with details of Gas Insulated
Substation and identify different parts (specification, application, cost, features,

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, 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 total duration of the micro-project should
not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought

11. 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/sub
topics.
b. ‘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.
c. 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).
d. With respect to item No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and
provisions for co-curricular activities.
e. Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
f. Flash/Animations to explain working of Electric Locomotive and Elevatos .
g. Pre-guided visits to, railway stations and Elevator manufacturing componay to
observe operation.
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-project is
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 she/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, 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 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:
a. Illumination: Prepare report on market survey of various three phase transformers
(specification, manufacturer, application, cost
b. Electric heating and welding: Prepare power point presentation related to Resistnace
Ovens Welding accssories
c. Electric Drives and Elevators: Prepare report on market survey of various three
phase transformers (specification, manufacturer, application, cost and collect Lift and

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, 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 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.

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-project is
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 she/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, 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 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:
a. Indian National grid and Regional grid: Collect information and prepare charts with
significant details.
b. Major power failure: Collect information about power failure in / outside India.
