M5GNA2200 Science Education 1, Part 2 Course description

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:

• understands the basic stages of the engineering design process.
• is familiar with the systematic work involved in designing parts, and assembling the parts together to form components and products.
• knows the rules for machine drawing.
• is familiar with using industrial standards and codes for designing mechanical parts.
• Is familiar with and has basic knowledge of manufacturing processes such as milling, turning, CNC, welding, 3D printers, casting etc.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• digitally modeling parts, components, and products, and generating correct detailed drawings and assembly drawings based on the digital models in both 2D and 3D.
• constructing and dimensioning common machine parts and components such as welds, shafts, and simple shafting/transmissions.
• completing a FMEAS on an engineering design or process
• suggesting a manufacturing plan for engineering components and/or assemblies

General competence

The student must:

• use digital engineering software such as CAD to produce simple engineering components

All answers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

The course is accessed in three parts:

• A 1 hour individual multiple-choice school exam under supervision (25%)
• An individual portfolio of engineering drawings (25%)
• A group project of 3-6 students which takes around 100 hours of work per student (50%)

The exam result can be appealed.

All parts of the exam must be passed in order to pass the course.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

30 credits overlap with MABIO5000 Computed Tomography (CT).

Eksamensform

Eksamen består av en 4-timers individuell skriftlig eksamen under tilsyn. 

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres som ved ordinær eksamen.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
