BIP1000 Citizenship Course description

In this course, students will learn about the mechanics of solids, with a focus on how structures behave under loading and deformation. We will cover the forces acting on and within structures, as well as the physical properties of materials that govern the relationship between motion, deformation, and external forces. Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of failure prevention in mechanical design. Overall, this course provides a balance of theoretical concepts and practical applications to give students a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of solids.

On successful completion of the course, the student has acquired the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge, skills, and competence:

Knowledge

• The student can
• define the concept of citizenship with respect to civil, political, and social rights
• describe civil, political, and social rights for people with intellectual disabilities in the partner countries
• compare practices of citizenship in the partner countries by using the concept of citizenship
• explain the concept of culture, cultural differences and ethnocentrism/ethnorelativism

Skills

The student can

• reflect on their own culture and other cultures and realities.
• reflect on how others perceive us (and why)
• demonstrate academic knowledge of both spoken and written English
• reflect on their own and others’ roles in the team

General competencies

The student can

• discuss similarities and differences in people with intellectual disabilities citizenship in the partner countries.
• interact in an international and multicultural team

None.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student

• knows the theory underlying the analysis and design principles.
• is familiar with failure theories and failure modes.
• is able to perform simple stress analysis.

Skills

The student is capable of

• carrying out stress calculations in beams, frames and trusses.
• modeling and designing a load-bearing frame structure.
• using an FE program (ABAQUS) to perform structural analysis and design calculations.
• carrying out failure calculations for simple structures and machine parts.
• preparing reports for the presentation of analysis results

General competence

The student is capable of

• designing and performing a structural analysis of a load-bearing beams, trusses, and frame structures.
• performing stress calculations for engineering components.
• cooperating and communicating with others in a project group, and documenting the group's work

Presentation of a teamwork conducted in a team of 4-6 students. Every team member must participate in preparing the presentation from when the preparations start in session 1 up to presentation in the Intensive Programme. Every team member must perform a part of the presentation. The presentation shall have a duration of maximum 30 minutes and will be performed for fellow students in the Blended Intensive Programme.

All

Pass/Fail

A three-hour individual written exam under supervison.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.
