KJTS3100 Biotechnology Course description

Ingen forkunnskapskrav.

The course builds on KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry, KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, and KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I. It is recommended that students taking the course have passed the exam in KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I.

Godkjent laboratoriekurs i KJM1400 Organisk kjemi og KJM1500 Fysikalsk kjemi eller tilsvarende kvalifikasjoner.

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 using and processing knowledge of science and technology to solve biotechnology and chemistry-related problems
• is capable of proposing alternative technical solutions, and analysing and quality assuring the results.

Skills

The student:

• is capable of translating knowledge into practical solutions
• masters modern analytical and biotechnology methods and has knowledge of safe laboratory work
• is capable of quality assuring and analysing results obtained in a project
• is capable of documenting and discussing results, both orally and in writing
• is capable of obtaining literature and other background information of relevance to the project, and writing reports based on standardised methods.

General competence

The student:

• is capable of carrying out an engineering assignment based on a practical industrial or research-related issue in an independent and systematic manner
• masters both independent work and team work, including planning and implementation of engineering projects
• has the ability to place their own work in a wider engineering context.

The bachelor's thesis is an independent project assignment carried out in groups of students. The content of the thesis shall be relevant to the programme. The bachelor's thesis shall be method-oriented and problem-oriented, and shall be organised in a manner that allows students to use knowledge and skills from several fields.

The thesis shall preferably be written in cooperation with an enterprise, industry organisation or public institution.

Følgende arbeidskrav er obligatorisk og må være godkjent for å fremstille seg til eksamen:

• 2 dagers laboratoriekurs i løpet av høstsemester med 3 skriftlige arbeidskrav (gruppe 2-4 studenter, 3-10 sider pr arbeidskrav)
• Totalt 7 obligatoriske oppgaver (2-4 timer pr oppgave)

Alle hjelpemidler tillatt:

[Håndholdt kalkulator som ikke kommuniserer trådløst og som ikke kan regne symbolsk. Dersom kalkulatoren har mulighet for lagring i internminnet skal minnet være slettet før eksamen. Stikkprøver kan foretas.]

Emnet bygger på MAPE1300 Mekanikk og MATS1500 Materialteknologi.

Gradert skala A-F.

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.
