ERGO1100 Anatomy and Physiology Course description

A minimum attendance of 80% is compulsory in skills training, introductions to the course, seminars and supervised group work.

Students must meet the compulsory attendance requirements in order to sit the exam.

Exam content: The learning outcomes

Exam form: Individual oral exam, up to 30 min.

Time: Second semester

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 is capable of

• describing the structure and functioning of the musculoskeletal system
• describing the structure and functioning of the circulatory and respiratory systems
• describing the structure, mechanisms and functions of the peripheral, central and autonomous nervous systems
• giving an account of the structure and functions of the sensory apparatus
• highlighting connections between movement, sensing, perception and cognition in the carrying out of daily activities (human movement science)

Skills

The student is capable of

• applying functional anatomy and biomechanics in the analysis of daily activities
• identifying body structures - surface anatomy

Competence

The student

• acts respectfully and professionally when handling anatomical specimens and is familiar with ethical dilemmas attached to examinations

Teaching consists of lectures and supervision in smaller groups that comprises demonstrations of specimens and surface anatomy, as well as skills training. The students will practice analysing movement through practical exercises. Students must organise study groups for self-study early on in the programme.

One external and one internal examiner will assess at least 20% of the students. Two internal examiners assess the remaining students. The external examiner´s assessment shall benefit all students.

Exam: 15 credits

Exam content: The learning outcomes

Exam form: Individual oral exam, up to 30 min.

Time: Second semester

The subject includes design of beams, columns and composite bearing elements of timber and steel in ultimate limit state, serviceability limit state and accidental limit state. The item includes welding joints, fasteners as bolts, nails, screws and timber connectors. The course will provide an understanding of the load effects, material properties and use of information given in other standards.Tests of rupture and shear strength on simple wooden samples. The course includes the use of Autodesk Robot structural analyses program. The subject is based on BYPE1100 Physics and Mechanics and BYTS2100 Building Materials and Concrete Design.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

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 familiar with the common design models for structural elements and simple and complex structures of steel and wood
• is familiar with design methods described in Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 5

Skills

The student is capable of:

• using mechanics of materials and dimensioning methods to dimension load-bearing structural elements and joints in structures made of varying combinations of wood and steel
• using Robot design software

General competence

The student:

• Has a general understanding of the theoretical basis of Eurocode 3 and 5.
