MAEND4300 Fluid dynamics and computational methods Course description

Emnet skal gi studentene kunnskaper om noen grunnleggende emner i fluidmekanikk og massetransport, samt gode ferdigheter i beregning av strømningstekniske problem koblet til varme- og massetransport. For å løse realistiske problemstillinger må numeriske metoder (datamaskiner) benyttes. Emnet gir en innføring i numeriske metoder for naturvitenskaplige fag, og fokuserer spesielt på numerisk løsning av koblede varme- og strømningstekniske problemer inkludert massetransport.

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

• describing important properties of some of the most prevalent forms of human pathogenic microorganisms
• giving examples of how microorganisms can cause disease
• describing the main principles of antibiotics- mechanisms of action
• describing some of the resistance mechanisms of bacteria and explaining how bacteria can develop resistance to an antibiotic
• describing how microorganisms can be determined using cultivation, immunological and gene technology methods
• assessing the importance that findings of different microorganisms can have in different types of sample material
• explaining the principles of different immunological methods and showing insight into the various methods- areas of use, possibilities and limitations
• explaining how relevant methods and analyses can be quality assured

Skills

The student is capable of

• determining, isolating and identifying certain important human pathogenic microorganisms and performing resistance testing on antibiotics
• performing work in a responsible manner that safeguards infection control
• conducting and quality assuring different immunological methods and assessing any sources of errors related to these

General competence

The student

• is familiar with the laws and regulations relating to infection control in society and the health services

The work and teaching methods are chosen on the basis of the principle of integrating theory and practice. The course covers work-relevant and problem-oriented tasks in the fields of microbiology and immunology, where problem-solving, activity, reflection and cooperation are a prerequisite. Most teaching activities take place in OsloMet's laboratory, where findings of microorganisms and their antibodies, if any, from different types of sample material are examined. Relevant theory is linked to practice through lectures, individual assignments and various forms of group assignments in addition to self-study. The student's portfolio is an important learning tool in the course.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• a minimum of 90% attendance in laboratory work
• a minimum of 80% attendance in scheduled group work
• laboratory reports in accordance with specified criteria
