Course history

Introduction

Two examiners will be used, one of which can be external. External examiner is used regularly.

Required preliminary courses

This course is recommended for PhD and Master Students that are involved in neuroscience research projects. It is an advantage if the student has knowledge in algebra, linear algebra, statistics, calculus, neurophysiology, and any programming language, especially Python.

Learning outcomes

Ved å arbeide med emnet, vil studentene opparbeide innsikt i deler av matematikken som står sentralt når man skal modellere tekniske og naturvitenskapelige systemer og prosesser. Temaene som tas opp inngår i ingeniørutdanninger over hele verden. Temaene er nødvendige for at ingeniører skal kunne kommunisere effektivt og presist, og for at de skal kunne delta i faglige diskusjoner. Arbeidet med emnet vil gi øvelse i å bruke matematisk programvare for å gjøre studentene i stand til å utføre beregninger i jobbsituasjon.

Content

Gradert skala A-F.

Teaching and learning methods

Ingen forkunnskapskrav.

Course requirements

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent før eksamen kan avlegges:

 

Arbeidskrav 1: Produksjon av en sammensatt tekst over et selvvalgt tema innenfor Engelskdidaktikk 1: Analytisk profesjonsutøvelse. Temaet godkjennes av faglæreren i forkant. Tekstens omfang skal være på 1100 ord +/- 10 % eller 10 minutter for en sammensatt tekst. Formålet med arbeidskravet er å gi studentene mulighet å fordype seg i tekstarbeid i engelsk.

 

Arbeidskrav 2: Innlevering av notat før veiledning på fagartikkelen (eksamen) med utdrag av oppgaveteksten på 800 ord (+/- 10%) på engelsk.

 

Assessment

Hydroelectric engineering, hydrology, hydraulics.

Elective courses are set up under precondition that there are enough students in the course.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Grading scale

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 sufficiently familiar with basic hydrology and hydraulics to understand the water cycle and the properties of water, including flood hydrology
  • is familiar with the basic concepts and design methods for structures crossing watercourses

Skills

The student is capable of:

  • making use of the most important standards and guidelines for structures crossing watercourses
  • estimating the amount of water available for power production in a watercourse
  • dimensioning and calculating the stability of dams and other technical watercourse structures
  • optimising power plants in terms of energy production and energy considerations
  • describing the most important turbine types and explaining their function and special properties

General competence

The student is capable of:

  • making independent assessments of a planned power plant, including the choice of dam type, installation and estimated production
  • considering environmental issues relating to the development of power plants

Examiners

Lectures and exercises. Excursion to a power plant.
