BYPE1100 Physics and Mechanics Course description

Emnet består av to deler. Fysikkdelen skal kunne gi studentene grunnleggende fysikkfaglige kunnskaper og ferdigheter som er med på å legge et naturvitenskaplig fundament for arbeid med de teknologiske emnene. Mekanikkdelen gir en dypere innføring i den klassiske mekanikken enn det som dekkes av fysikkdelen og er basis for alle konstruksjonsemnene i studiet. Emnet gir grunnlag for videre statikkstudier

Fysikkdelen omhandler:

• mekanikk som innebærer statikk og fasthetslære
• fluiddynamikk som innebærer lære om kontinuitetsligningen og Bernoullis ligning
• termodynamikk som innebærer lære om varmekapasitet og varmeovergang
• bølgefysikk med hovedvekt på akustikk

Mekanikkdelen omhandler:

• moment- og skjærkraftdiagrammer
• bjelketeori
• spenningsfordelinger
• deformasjonsberegninger

Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJM1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, or corresponding qualifications.

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 knows the principles that form the basis for:

• statistical processing of analytical measurement data
• quantitative methods with the use of internal and external standards and standard addition
• acid and base equilibria, preparation of buffer solutions
• molecular spectroscopy techniques such as UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy
• atom spectroscopy techniques such as flame spectroscopy and ICP
• detection limit determination, sources of noise in spectroscopy and chromatography
• chromatographic separation, descriptions of column efficiency and separation ability
• chromatographic techniques such as gas chromatography and liquid chromatography
• quality control and quality assurance in a chemical laboratory

Skills The student is capable of:

• performing quantitative analyses in accordance with specific procedures
• calibrating and adjusting common measurement instruments
• assessing sources of error and calculating the uncertainty in analytical measurements
• choosing the appropriate laboratory equipment and using it correctly
• using different chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques and using the instrumentation correctly to produce reliable measurement data
• using software to aquire and process data from chemical instrumentation
• using Excel in data processing and interpretation

General competence

The student:

• has basic knowledge of quality requirements in a chemical laboratory
• is capable of performing quantitative analyses using different quantification techniques and separation and measurement methods
• has insight into statistical methods for the processing of chemical measurement data
• has knowledge of how accuracy and precision in measurement results are affected by sources of error and uncertainty in instrumentation, procedures and work techniques
• has insight into the application, limitations and functioning of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• 5-day laboratory course with 5 written assignments (two individual and three in groups of 2-4 students, 10-20 pages per assignment)
• Some exercise sessions related to the laboratory course will be compulsory. These sessions will be announced separately.

Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of written. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used for the final assessment.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.

The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJTF2311 and KJTF2310.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
