Knowledge

The student:

• is capable of defining and carrying out calculations of energy, work and heat
• is capable of explaining and carrying out calculations of enthalpy (H), entropy (S), and Gibbs free energy (G), for different processes
• is capable of deriving and carrying out calculations of the connection between equilibrium constants, temperature and thermodynamic values
• is capable of explaining and calculating phase equilibria/ phase diagrams
• is capable of defining and carrying out calculations of colligative properties
• is capable of deriving connections between electrochemistry and thermodynamic values
• is capable of deciding a reaction order and performing kinetic calculations
• has basic knowledge of energy and energy transfer in different systems, knowledge of colligative properties and phase equilibria
• has basic knowledge of radioactivity
• has basic knowledge of transition metal and coordination compounds

Skills

The student:

• can collaborate in groups both with practical and written work
• have insight into the proper handling of chemicals on the basis of safety data sheets and from laboratory experience

General competence

The student:

• can perform thermodynamic measurements for different processes and phase transitions
• can derive some equations in thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium and phase equilibrium, electrochemistry and reaction kinetics
• can plot and outline phase diagrams
• can use Nernst equation and emf measurements in calculations
• can solve simple rate laws as differential equations and use the expressions further in calculations

The teaching is organised as lectures, exercises and demonstration of laboratory equipment

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

• 8 compulsory exercises (2-4 hours per exercise)
• 1 laboratory exercise with Lab report (2 -5 pages)

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.

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 has:

• an understanding of cooperation when using BIM
• an understanding of life-cycle analyses, costs, time consumption, quality assurance systems, HSE in the building and construction industry, environmental certification systems and use of the Management, Maintenance, Operation and Development system
• knowledge of the phases in a building project and the different parties’ roles and responsibility, with the main emphasis on integrated planning using BIM
• knowledge of different contract models and the different contracts used in the building and construction industry
• knowledge of the statutory requirements that apply to the building, especially TEK.

;

Skills

The student is capable of:

• preparing plans for progress, finances, production, HSE and quality assurance ;
• drafting and using contracts and descriptions in accordance with applicable standards/process codes
• using TEK in different circumstances
• carrying out a simple risk analysis

;

General competence

The student:

• has an understanding of the interaction between the different players involved in the building process
• has an understanding of consequences
• has the ability to communicate the construction engineer’s roles in a systemic context
• is capable of working in a team

This is the first of four modules in prosthetics and orthotics practice. The module is based on the clinical work processes covered in ORTO1000. It focuses on users with lower limb amputations, especially at transtibial or transfemoral level. These two levels account for a high proportion of prosthetist/orthotists' prosthetic technology work.

The table below shows the subjects covered by the module, with credits specified:

• Prostethic and orthotic practice (3,5 credits)
• Biomechanics (2 credits)
• Pathology (3 credits)
• Rehabilitation and habilitation (0,5 credits)
• Profession, psychology, interaction and communication (1 credits)
• Total credits: 10 credits

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.
