Introduction

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • can account for CT technology and its development
  • can interpret, analyse and discuss quality control procedures for CT examinations
  • can critically assess the use of contrast agents in CT examinations
  • can interpret, analyse and discuss image quality and CT technology
  • can account for the use of workstations, image processing and storage media
  • can interpret and critically discuss dosage calculations for CT examinations
  • can account for, discuss and analyse laws, regulations and guidelines concerning radiation protection relating to the use of CT

Skills

The student

  • can apply post-processing techniques to the most common CT examinations
  • can analyse reports from CT quality controls, and carry out dosage measurements with the help of measuring equipment
  • can carry out image processing and assess image quality in an independent manner
  • can optimise CT protocols, with particular focus on adapted image quality and radiation dosage for the examination

General competence

The student

  • can disseminate extensive independent work and master the forms of expression used in the field
  • can convey issues, analyses and conclusions in the field of CT in big and small forums
  • can make ethically and professionally justified assessments and decisions in professional practice
  • can work to safeguard the universal right to equitable health services by focusing on quality and the development of procedures
  • can implement their knowledge and skills in new areas for the purpose of carrying out advanced tasks and projects

Required preliminary courses

The course is largely based on self-study where students work on required coursework. Digital learning resources in the form of lectures and online assignments are made available to students. One session that includes lectures, group work and simulations is organised per semester.

Learning outcomes

Etter å ha gjennomført dette emnet har studenten følgende læringsutbytte, definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten

  • kan vurdere forutsetninger for god samhandling og ledelse som fremmer god beslutningstaking i tverrfaglige team
  • kan vurdere profesjoners ulike kompetanseområder i tverrfaglige sammensatte team
  • kan gjøre rede for kommunikasjon i tverrfaglige relasjoner
  • kan gjøre rede for sorg og sorgprosesser
  • kan drøfte kommunikasjon med mennesker i ulike aldre som er i sorg og krise
  • kan drøfte krav i retningslinjer, lovverk, organisering og funksjonen til barnepalliative team i helsetjenesten
  • kan vurdere ulikhet i andre kulturers forståelse av helse, sykdom og død

Ferdigheter

Studenten

  • kan anvende egen fagkompetanse i tverrfaglige team
  • kan anvende kommunikasjonsferdigheter i profesjonelle relasjoner
  • har ferdigheter i å kommunisere med mennesker i sorg og krise
  • kan på selvstendig grunnlag planlegge og gjennomføre samtaler med barn, ungdom, søsken og familier
  • kan anvende kommunikasjonsferdigheter med barn, ungdom, søsken og deres familie

Generell kompetanse

Studenten

  • kan kommunisere og formidle faglige problemstillinger om helhetlige helse- og omsorgstilbud innenfor fagområdet barnepalliasjon
  • kan samarbeide med personer fra egen og andre faggrupper både nasjonalt og internasjonalt i den hensikt å videreutvikle fagfeltet

Teaching and learning methods

Samlinger, gruppearbeid og nettbasert undervisning. Undervisningen vil foregå på norsk/skandinavisk eller engelsk ved enkelte forelesninger.

Course requirements

Individual written home exam, 6 hours.

The paper can be written in English or a Scandinavian language.

Assessment

Mechanical design and manufacturing form the basis of all the mechanical components being utilized by humans. In this course, you will be gaining an understanding of different engineering design philosophies and manufacturing methods. You will use knowledge and skills from traditional mechanical subjects together with digital engineering tools to design mechanical parts and manufacture them using suitable methods (additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing). This course offers the right balance of theoretical concepts coupled with practical application and hands-on 3D modeling training.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

None.

Grading scale

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

Knowledge

The student:

  • understands the basic stages of the engineering design process.
  • is familiar with the systematic work involved in designing parts, and assembling the parts together to form components and products.
  • knows the rules for machine drawing.
  • is familiar with using industrial standards and codes for designing mechanical parts.
  • Is familiar with and has basic knowledge of manufacturing processes such as milling, turning, CNC, welding, 3D printers, casting etc.

Skills

The student is capable of:

  • digitally modeling parts, components, and products, and generating correct detailed drawings and assembly drawings based on the digital models in both 2D and 3D.
  • constructing and dimensioning common machine parts and components such as welds, shafts, and simple shafting/transmissions.
  • completing a FMEAS on an engineering design or process
  • suggesting a manufacturing plan for engineering components and/or assemblies

General competence

The student must:

  • use digital engineering software such as CAD to produce simple engineering components
