Abstract


The proposal describes about a course activity designed for sixth semester students of Instrumentation Technology for the course Process Control and Automation. As the activity demands technical, writing and oral presentation skills, students were accordingly grouped based on their capabilities they possess which in turn helps to enhance the other skills they lack. The activity designed focuses on identification and study of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) required in the field of automation, deployment of automation concepts for development of ptototypes and usage of virtual instrumentation tool for implementation of controller principles. This activity has positive effect on personal and interpersonal development of students as well between peer communities. Progress justification can be made by mapping the performance indicators formed for the evaluation of activity with the attainment of program outcomes.

Keywords

Niddhyaasana, Manana, Adhyayana, Program Outcomes, PLCs.
