Problems are solutions in disguise.
We only need to see them closely.
Key Objectives:
This module aims at bringing about awareness about raw materials and various products that can be made from them. The objectives are -
Observation :
Students observe their surrounding considering each object as an article to be made.
Creativity :
Students think of various material and different things that can be made from.
Imagination :
While seeing the material they imagine the process of making the object.
Communication :
Group interaction and public speaking.
Concepts:
Raw Materials
Basic materials required to make a thing that can satisfy a human need.
Products
An object special made to satisfy a need or designed to perform a task.
Process
The series of changes brought in materials to bring it at the final stage where it serves some purpose.
Tools
The objects used in process and does not go in a finished product.
Product Innovation
A change in the design or material or the processing of a product.
Skills: The students activity is designed to clarify the CONCEPTS of the module and develop some "ENTERPRISE SKILLS" (E. Skills). The E.Skills included in a module may not be exhaustive but are only indicative. E.Skills stated in modules elsewhere may also get addressed through the activities of a module.:
Observation

Decision Making
