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 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 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) ; ;;

• Material properties in a specific context.
• Design methodology.
• Product communication and semantics.
• Aesthetic principles of form and function in a specific context.
• Experimental material practice.

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.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

Individual or group portfolio examination. The portfolio consists of:

• Design-process documentation including end-product (model studies and iterations responding to the problem definition or research area), timeline with outline of process, documentation of model-studies and presentation of end-product.
• End-reflection in appropriate media (written, video, poster etc.) on the design-process and end-product.

The examination result can be appealed.

No restrictions.

A grading scale of A (highest) to F (lowest) where A to E is a pass grade and F is a fail grade.

Two internal. External examiner is used periodically..
