Note
i. 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.
ii, The ‘Process’ and ‘Product’ related skills associated with each PrO is to be assessed
according to a suggested sample given below:
S.No. Performance Indicators Weightage in %
1__| Preparation of experimental set up 20
2__| Setting and operation 20

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:
4) Follow safety practices.
b) Practice good housekeeping.
©) Practice energy conservation.
d) Work as a leader/a team member.
©) 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-faeves8eras planned

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
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:
a) Prepare journals based on practical performed in laboratory.
b) Follow the safety precautions.
c) Use various mechanical measuring instruments and equipment related to Heating,
Ventilation and air conditioning
4) Read and use specifications of the Refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
e) Library / Internet survey of HVAC systems
£) Prepare power point presentation or animation for understanding constructional details
and working of different Centralised air conditioning systems.
2) Visit nearby malls/auditoriums/commercial complex/Dairy/Cold storages/Iee cream
factory/Ice planvCinema Theaters to identify different components of Refrigeration
and air conditioning system.
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.
©) About 15-20% of the topics/sub-topies which is relatively simpler or descriptive in
nature is t0 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
€) Guide student(s) in undertaking micrto-projects.
f) Correlate subtopics with actual domestic and industrial Refrigeration and air
conditioning systems.
2) Use proper equivalent analogy to explain different concepts related to Psychrometry
h) Use Flash/Animations to explain various applications of tion and air

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS
Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to
himvher in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the miero-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 concemed faculty:
a) Prepare a duct layout of your institute building from AHU
b) Prepare a chart of showing all the components of house hold refrigerator.
©) Prepare a demonstration model of cold storage
4) Calculate Refrigeration capacity of split air conditioner.
©) Collect different air outlet devices used in Central air conditioning system
f) Download catalogue of Refrigeration compressors,
2) Prepare display chart of types of refrigerant

h) Visit to nearby Central air conditioning plant/Malls/Showrooms and collect
information regarding air conditioning
i) Conduct market survey of household reftigerators, make, capacity, arrangement,
features, commercial terms et
J) Conduct market survey of window air conditioner make, capacity, arrangement,
features, commercial terms ete.
k) Collect information of automobile air conditioning of different vehicles.
