COURSE OUTCOME

At the end of this course, the incumbent will be able to:

  1. Remembering: Exhibit memory of previously learned material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts, and answers.
    Describe the various aspects, parameters, scales of experimental tools and design to conduct the experiments in the laboratory.
  2. Understanding: Demonstrate understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas.
    Analyze the methods of experiments and interpret the output results. Emphasis on the limitations of theoretical concepts, measuring instruments to perform the experiments and deviation of results from ideal one.
  3. Applying: Solve problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.
    Apply the knowledge in current research works and publications in various journals and literature of the subjects in different fields adopted by the students as per course curriculum.
  4. Analyzing: Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence to support generalizations.
    Describe how the ideas those are adopted can be implemented through projects and demonstrate various models, recent project proposals to execute the knowledge adopted from the course.
  5. Evaluating: Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas, or quality of work based on a set of criteria.
    Define how the ideas can be share with the multi - disciplinary personals. Lighten on the latest and modern developments in the fields.
  6. Creating: Compile information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions.
    At last students should compile all the knowledge those they acquired from the course and apply to industry, academia, and research keeping in the mind about ethical awareness and impact in the field of environmental (pollution), social (legal) and safety.

12.    To study current Voltage characteristics, load response, areal characteristics and spectral response of photo voltaic Solar Cell.

a)       A candidate is required to perform at least 3 experiments taking from each group. Initiative should be taken so that most of the experiments are covered in college in the distribution mentioned above. Emphasis should be given on the error in the taken data.

b)       In addition a student should perform one or more experiments where he /she will have to convert the non electrical signal present in an experiment into electrical signal and measure them with the help of multimeter’oscilascope Student should calibrate the sensor for experiment before use.

c)       Innovative experiments: One more experiment should be designed by student or the concerned teacher or both.

 

Note:

(i.)     Failure to perform each experiment mentioned in b] and c] should be compensated by two experiments from two different groups mentioned in the above list.

(ii.)   At the end of the semester report should sent to the board of studies regarding experiments, actually performed by the college, mentioned in b] and c]

(iii.) Experiment in b] and c] can be coupled and can be parts of a single experiment.
