Course history

Introduction

Emnet bygger på Byggfaglig innføring (BYFE1201), Varmetransport (EMTS2300).

Required preliminary courses

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

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 is capable of:

  • defining and explaining relevant concepts in logics, set theory, functions, number theory, matrix calculation, proof techniques, sequences and series, combinatorics, relations, graph theory and Boolean algebra
  • explaining relevant formulas and rules of arithmetic

Skills

The student is capable of:

  • solving course-specific but also general and complex problems with the help of theory, formulas, statements, rules of arithmetic and techniques taught on the course
  • applying concepts and techniques from the course to relevant computer disciplines

General competence

The student is capable of:

  • informing programmers and others about issues that benefit from the use of discrete mathematics concepts and techniques

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures and individual exercises. The exercises are based on the students’ own work, supervised by the lecturer and/or a student assistant.

Course requirements

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

  • 3 compulsory written assignments to be solved in groups of 2 - 4 people. Time spent per assignment will vary between 5 - 15 hours depending on the participants' knowledge and professional prerequisites.

Assessment

Individual written exam, 3 hours

The exam result can be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grading scale

Grade scale A-F.

Examiners

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

Overlapping courses

The course will introduce students to fluid mechanics and thereby give them a basic understanding of calculations needed to address flow problems. Theory will be translated into practical application. Students are expected to acquire basic theory on fluid mechanics and an understanding of how to use this theory in practice in technical contexts. The course forms a basis for understanding the operating principles behind various energy systems, the technical units involved and basic dimensioning of such units. Possible practical applications include dimensioning of components in pipe and cable systems (e.g. radiator systems), pressure loss calculations, emptying of vessels, calculation of forces generated by a water flow.
