ENT4400 Entreprenørskap 3 Forskningsfronten innen innovasjonsledelses- og entreprenørskapsforskningen Emneplan

Emnet dekker følgende hovedtemaer:

• Tekstanalyse
• Vitenskapsteori og kvalitativ metode
• Utarbeiding av en teorifundert bacheloroppgave anvendt på en utviklingsfaglig problemstilling med datainnsamling basert på sekundærkilder.

Det legges opp til varierte undervisnings- og arbeidsformer. Studentaktivitet og prosjektarbeid er viktige deler av studiet, i tillegg til forelesninger, både fysisk og digitalt, gruppearbeid, selvstudium og arbeid i egen barnehage. Det legges stor vekt på at studentene tar ansvar for egen læring og deltar aktivt i faglig samarbeid.

the ability to critically reflect on the role of innovation in societal development

The course will include lectures and seminars. Students will be exposed to conceptual theories and tools that they will bridge to their previous entrepreneurial experiences. Students are expected to actively participate in discussions and to link theory and research to their own practice. The seminars are led by students and are based on teamwork. Through participation in lectures and seminars, the students will enhance their ability to present and argue for their own ideas and practices as well as to reflect and give feedback to fellow students.

This course covers the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. Focus is on solid mechanics of deformable bodies treated as continuous distribution of matter disregarding their molecular structure and is intended to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject at an intermediate level. While mathematicians deal with geometric continuum mechanics using differential geometry and Lie derivatives and engineers study it using traditional strength of material approach, the course here is an in-between approach, covering enough of the general theory to be able to solve problems of interest in solid mechanics.

Knowledge

The candidate:

• can explain the linear elastic theory of continuum mechanics
• can explain the fundamental thermodynamic potentials and Legendre transforms
• can recognize the difference between continuous and discrete systems, can identify each of them through examples and can identify the equations for the former
• can explain the formalism associated with change of configuration (kinematics), the concepts of stress and constitutive relations
• can explain the difference between modelling dimensions and restrictions imposed on deformation fields for reductions as plane strain, axisymmetry and shell
• can identify the limitations and explain the meaning of such restrictions imposed on constitutive models through the principles of thermodynamics.

Skills

The candidate:

• can calculate the values for fundamental parameters i.e., stress, strain, and displacement in static problems of linear elasticity in 1-, 2-, and 3-D domains
• can solve the governing differential equations for the field variables at various locations analytically for simple geometries
• can conduct an independent, limited research project under supervision and in accordance with applicable norms for research ethics
• can apply relevant mathematical methods, such as partial differentiation, multiple integration, or Fourier analysis, in derivation and solution of governing PDEs

General competence

The candidate:

• can reflect upon, explain, and critically assess the solution and its procedure applied to solid mechanics problems in 1-, 2-, and 3-D using the appropriate methods
• can communicate independent research work using the correct terminology with peers and academics and to some extent with non-experts
• can explain what continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are used for and how the formulation of continua differs from that of discrete systems conceptually and mathematically.
