Preface The primary aim of any laboratory/Practical/field work is enhancement of required skills as well as creative ability amongst students to solve real time problems by developing relevant competencies in psychomotor domain. Keeping in view, GTU has designed competency focused outcome-based curriculum -2021 (COGC-2021) for Diploma engineering programmes. In this more time is allotted to practical work than theory. It shows importance of enhancement of skills amongst students and it pays attention to utilize every second of time allotted for practical amongst Students, Instructors and Lecturers to achieve relevant outcomes by performing rather than writing practice in study type. It is essential for effective implementation of competency focused outcome- based Green curriculum-2021. Every practical has been keenly designed to serve as a tool to develop & enhance relevant industry needed competency in each and every student. These psychomotor skills are very difficult to develop through traditional chalk and board content delivery method in the classroom. Accordingly, this lab manual has been designed to focus on the industry defined relevant outcomes, rather than old practice of conducting practical to prove concept and theory.
By using this lab manual, students can read procedure one day in advance to actual performance day of practical experiment which generates interest and also, they can have idea of judgement of magnitude prior to performance. This in turn enhances predetermined outcomes amongst students. Each and every Experiment /Practical in this manual begins by competency, industry relevant skills, course outcomes as well as practical outcomes which serve as a key role for doing the practical. The students will also have a clear idea of safety and necessary precautions to be taken while performing experiment.
This manual also provides guidelines to lecturers to facilitate student-cantered lab activities for each practical/experiment by arranging and managing necessary resources in order that the students follow the procedures with required safety and necessary precautions to achieve outcomes. It also gives an idea that how students will be assessed by providing Rubrics.
Students are eventually going to become a computer engineer and will be placed in an industry. If he/she only possess the knowledge about the languages and its programming then they would have been lacking in some aspects like how the memory and I/O works as well as how the CPU and its components work inside the hardware. By studying this curriculum and performing various practical / exercises given in this manual they can gain the full knowledge of each component’s working and their interconnection for communication hence providing full internal knowledge.
Although we tried our level best to design this lab manual, but always there are chances of improvement. We welcome any suggestions for improvement. Programme Outcomes (POs) Following programme outcomes are expected to be achieved through the practical of the course: 1. Basic and Discipline specific knowledge: Apply knowledge of basic mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals and engineering specialization to solve the engineering problems. 2. Problem analysis: Identify and analyse well-defined engineering problems using codified standard methods. 3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for engineering well-defined technical problems and assist with the design of systems components or processes to meet specified needs. 4. Engineering Tools, Experimentation and Testing: Apply modern engineering tools and appropriate technique to conduct standard tests and measurements. 5. Engineering practices for society, sustainability and environment: Apply appropriate technology in context of society, sustainability, environment and ethical practices. 6. Project Management: Use engineering management principles individually, as a team member or a leader to manage projects and effectively communicate about well-defined engineering activities. 7. Life-long learning: Ability to analyse individual needs and engage in updating in the context of technological changes in field of engineering. Practical Outcome - Course Outcome matrix Course Outcomes (COs): CO1: Evaluate the evolution of computer system on hardware technology advancement basis.
