In this period, the learner should becomefascinated with the broad significance of the idea and be motivated to actively pursue the moreprecise and more generalized investigations that follow. During the period of precision, studentsshould understand that they must concentrate on mastering the relevant data collectiontechniques, notations, procedures, and problem-solving strategies. In the final period ofgeneralization, students are guided to discover the worth of their learning efforts and appreciatethe realized patterns, meaning, and general applications.

According to the new DCL Managing Director, their single largest expenditure is represented by energy consumed by the milk chilling plants. Diesel generators (15 - 250 kVA) power most chilling systems. Where hydroelectric grid supply is available, the generators are also used as stand-by against the frequent power supply interruptions. Among possible reasons for the unacceptable energy costs are: 1) the escalating unregulated cost of diesel fuel, 2) the unreliable supply of diesel fuel, 3) difficulties in monitoring and controlling intended diesel fuel usage, 3) the unreliable supply of

The instructors of courses observed which topics the studentswere struggling with and developed micro-lectures to cover those topics.Literature ReviewThe idea of micro-learning and presenting the content in micro-units was first introduced in 1980as “micro-teaching” (Hug, T., 2005). Research conducted by (Shail, M. S., 2019) indicates thatmicro-learning prevents learners from being overloaded with information and can improve theirretention capacity. Due to the limitation of the working memory of learners, micro-learningrequires minimal effort from individuals to master the content, and it provides dense and yetfocused topics in fun and engaging fashion (Jomah, et al, 2016).

Identifying potential hazards andsystematically documenting factors that could lead to accidents in the future is a crucial skill inengineering. Although there are various methods for recording these hazards on constructionsites or predicting potential accidents, mastering this skill requires time and expertise, which canpose challenges for young engineers starting their careers. As the demands of their professionbecome increasingly rigorous, newly graduated engineers often undergo intensive training fortheir job sites.
