| Teaching method : | The teaching is based on "learning by doing". There will be introductory and summing up lectures. Project work in small groups includes assignments, workshop and lab exercises, computer simulations, use of internet search engines and case studies. | ||
| Required prequisites : | - | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | - | ||
| Relations : | Project 4 and the course: Control Engineering (in the 4th semester). | ||
| Type of examination : | Look under remarks | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | Oral examination based on a number of course assignments, as well as on the 4th semester project (Project 4). The final evaluation of each student will be based on an assessment of the presentation of the course assignments and the semester project group report. 7-point grading scale, internal examiner. 02: Fulfillment of the requirement I: 1-7 7 : Additional fulfillment of the requirements II: 8-10 12: Additional fulfillment of III: 11-14 This course is closely related to the semester project in the 4th semester, and is an integrated part of the study program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation” offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is primarily for students enrolled in the program. |
