Pedagogical approach
This should be considered as sacred ritual for the fulfillment of the
objectives. Institutes have to establish close linkage with relevant
organizations through training placement division. Projects selected
should not be too complex which is beyond the level of the students.
The selection of the students for such project work should match with
the competency profile of students and the project work assigned to
them. The students will submit a synopsis at the beginning of the VI
semester for approval from the CEDPC in a specified format. It will
be a group project. Continuous assessment at various critical stages
of project work for smooth progress is to be followed.
Project Lab has to be developed and nurtured. Various testing
equipment such as Non-Destructive Testing equipment, water
analysis testing equipment etc., as per requirements of projects and
2
needs of the industry be procured/combinedly used with other labs,
computer and printing facility for the benefit of students. Also project
works should be designed in such a way so that existing laboratories
may be utilized optimally. Enhancement of project lab is a continuous
process and need based up gradations are necessary.

Learning outcomes :After completing this course, student will be able to:
• Identify various requirements for green building.
• Use different steps in environmental impact assessment.
• Relate the construction of green building with prevailing energy
conservation policy and regulations.
• Supervise the construction of green building construction using
green materials.
• Focus on criteria related to particular rating system for
assessment of particular Green building.
Pedagogical approach for theory
Teacher should give examples from daily routine as well as
engineering/ technology applications on various concepts and
principles in each topic so the students are able to understand and
grasp these concepts and principles. In all concepts, SI units should
be followed. Use of demonstration can make the subject interesting
and develop scientific temper in the students. Student participatory
activities may be planned- two way communication, assignments
and group discussion, short notice subject quizzes and presentation,
use of videos/documentaries to enhance domain knowledge,
encouraging students to read reference books however necessary
and feasible. Demonstrate/practice approach may be followed
throughout the course so that learning is employability based.
