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

• 1 project assignment
• 2 lab reports
• 3 individual exercises

The exam consist of two parts:

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

Part 2: A project raport. 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 communication with others.

Part 2: All aids allowed.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

Gjennom dette emnet skal studenten tilegne seg inngående kunnskap om og forståelse for opplevelser, reaksjoner og mestringsstrategier hos pasienter og pårørende ved akutt og/eller kritisk sykdom og ved undersøkelse, behandling og død. Det legges vekt på å forstå sentrale pasientfenomen som smerte, angst, håp, lidelse, livskvalitet og verdighet i et alders- og flerkulturelt perspektiv. Studenten skal videreutvikle sin selvforståelse og forbedre evnen til å mestre samhandling med mennesker som er akutt og/eller kritisk syke. Kunnskapen fra dette emnet vil danne et nødvendig grunnlag for at studenten skal kunne veilede pasienter og omsorgspersoner i deres opplevelser og reaksjoner på akutt og/eller kritisk sykdom. Kunnskapen vil også være nødvendig for at studenten skal kunne bearbeide egne reaksjoner på ulike hendelser og veilede kolleger i deres opplevelser og reaksjoner.
