10. 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

Page 5 of 9
Transport management & Motor Industry Course Code: 4360205

b) Small report on any topic given by concern faculty.

c) Small groups of students can be formed for assigned work. Assigned work should be
such that it covers market survey, team work, presentation, time management, quality
development.
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) Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
c) ‘L’ in section No. 4 means different types of teaching methods that are to be
employed by teachers to develop the outcomes.
d) About 20% of the topics/sub-topics which are relatively simpler or descriptive in
nature is to be given to the students for self-learning, but to be assessed using
different assessment methods.
e) With respect to section No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and
provisions for co-curricular activities.
f) 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-project are
group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably being
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 be about 14 - 16 (fourteen to 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. This has to match the
competency and the COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course
teacher:
1) Visit any state government transport organization i.e. GSRTC, BRTS. And prepare a
report on Transport management.
2) Visit any transport organization and prepare a report on fleet management.
3) Prepare a chart on Fleet management and its structure.
4) Prepare a report on registration of vehicle and licensing of vehicle for Heavy Motor
Vehicle with necessary forms of RTO.
