Introduction

Dette emnet gir en innføring i programmering og statistikk.

Programmering tar sikte på å gi studenten en innføring i programmering i Python. Studentene får en innføring i programstruktur og uttrykk, variabler, tekster, operatorer, funksjoner, arrayer, bruk av løkker.

Statistikk gir sammen med de andre realfagene det fundamentale grunnlaget for ingeniørfagene. Emnet skal gi studenten forståelse for statistiske og sannsynlighetsteoretiske begreper, problemstillinger og løsningsmetoder med sikte på anvendelser innen eget fagfelt og ingeniørfag generelt.

Required preliminary courses

I makroøkonomi prøver man å forstå hvordan aggregerte økonomiske variabler som inflasjon, arbeidsledighet, inntekt og produksjon henger sammen og hvorfor disse varierer. I dette emnet lærer studentene hvordan økonomisk politikk som penge- og finanspolitikk kan påvirke makroøkonomien. Emnet bygger på Makroøkonomi I.

Undervisningsspråk er norsk.

Learning outcomes

Studenten skal etter å ha fullført emnet ha følgende totale læringsutbytte definert i kunnskaper, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten har inngående kunnskap om

  • modeller som kan brukes for å analysere økonomisk politikk
  • hvordan konjunkturer oppstår og hvordan de kan motvirkes gjennom politikk
  • hvordan institusjoner kan påvirke politikk
  • finanskriser
  • åpen økonomi, pengeunioner

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan

  • gjøre rede for viktige sammenhenger mellom makroøkonomiske variabler
  • bruke modeller for å analysere makroøkonomiske spørsmål
  • analysere hvordan makroøkonomisk politikk kan påvirke de økonomiske variabler som aktiviteten og inflasjon
  • vurdere den aktuelle økonomiske politikken

Generell kompetanse

Studenten kan

  • kommunisere om makroøkonomiske problemstillinger, analyser og konklusjoner av penge- og finanspolitikk både med spesialister og allmennheten
  • anvende kunnskap for å bidra til å stabilisere konjunktursvingninger

Teaching and learning methods

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

Knowledge

The student

  • can describe and explain factors that affect disease, health and quality of life in groups or the population as a whole
  • can describe the epidemiological and demographical foundation for public health work
  • can describe social inequality in relation to health, and is familiar with the national and global consequences of inequality
  • can describe the purpose, organisation and coordination of health and social care services
  • is familiar with relevant laws and regulations relating to the health and social care services
  • can describe the relationship between work, education, social participation, inclusion and the experience of health
  • can describe the goals for sustainable development and their significance for public health

Skills

The student

  • can reflect on ethical challenges related to public health work that aims to change behaviours
  • can find, assess and refer to health promoting and preventive strategies, organisation and measures in light of the goals for sustainable development
  • can reflect on how and why the status of Sami as indigenous peoples affects the development of the health and social care services

Overlapping courses

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 how to quantify uncertainties in load and material descriptions.

Skills:

The student is capable of:

  • modelling and simulating components and structures with non-linear behaviour, and evaluating the results.
  • selecting appropriate analysis and material models, and carrying out structural analyses for determining internal forces and moments, stresses, strains, and displacements with a satisfactory degree of accuracy.
  • choosing appropriate material models and material properties to solve the problem in question.
  • determining the parameters of mathematical models for materials from laboratory experiments or from the literature.
  • describing the difference between linear and non-linear structural analysis.
  • explaining the theoretical basis for linear and non-linear geometry and material behaviour.

General competence:

The student is capable of:

  • using FEM software in practical structural analyses.
  • assessing approaches to and limitations in linear and non-linear analyses.
  • using scholarly reports and articles to gain an overview of the latest developments in research in the field of non-linear analysis of structures.
