MATS1500 Materials Science and Engineering Course description

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Basic skills on the 3D modeling program INVENTOR

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 able to:

• Account for various machine systems that convert energy.
• Account for common components included in such systems.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• Drawing hydraulic wiring diagrams and performing simple system analyzes.
• Designing and dimensioning certain hydraulic systems.
• Calculating working pressure, volume flow and flow velocities in pipelines using Bernoulli's equation and continuity equation.
• Calculating pressure loss and power loss across different types of components in pipelines and finding the operating point of pumps operating in a composite system.
• Calculating power, torque, and different types of efficiencies for systems based on thermal and electrical energy machines.

General competence

The students will gain:

• The ability to produce adequate documentation of their own work.

Lectures, laboratory assignments and supervised exercises.

The estimated workload is four hours of lectures, four hours of supervised exercises and five hours of self-study per week.

The Exam consist of two parts:

Part 1: Individual digital home exam, 3 hours. This part counst 60 %

Part 2: A project raport on the Simultation project. This part counst 40 %.

The exam results can be appealed.

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 results cannot be appealed.

Part 1: All aids allowed except communications with others

Part 2: All aids allowed.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
