Instrumentation Amplifier using Transducer Bridge, Temperature indicators using Thermometer, Analog Weight Scale(Text2:14.3.3, 14.4.1, 14.4.3). ‘Course outcome (Course Skill Set) At the end of the course, the student will be able to : 1. Understand the material properties required to make sensors Understand the principle of transducers for measuring physical parameters, Describe the manufacturing process of sensors, Analyze the instrument characteristics and errors. Describe the principle of operation and develop circuits for multirange Ammeters, Voltmeters and Bridges to measure passive component values and frequency.‘Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE) The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50) and for the SEE minimum passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18 out of 50 marks). The student is declared as a pass in the course if he/she secures a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together. uous Internal Evaluation: ‘© There are 25 marks for the CIE's Assignment component and 25 for the Internal Assessment Test ‘component. ‘+ Each test shall be conducted for 25 marks. The first test will be administered after 40-50% of the coverage of the syllabus, and the second test will be administered afier 85-90% of the coverage of the syllabus. The average of the two tests shall be scaled down to 25 marks ‘* Any two assignment methods mentioned in the 220B2.4, if an assignment is project-based then only ‘one assignment for the course shall be planned. The schedule for assignments shall be planned properly by the course teacher. The teacher should not conduct two assignments at the end of the semester if two assignments are planned. Each assignment shall be conducted for 25 marks. (If two assignments are conducted then the sum of the two assignments shall be scaled down to 25 marks) ‘© The final CIE marks of the course out of 50 will be the sum of the scale-down marks of tests and assignment/s marks. Internal Assessment Test question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course. Semester-End Examination: Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for the course (duration 03 hours). 1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks. 2. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module. 3. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. 4, Marks scored shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks ‘Suggested Learning Resources: Books 1.
