Course history

Introduction

Følgende arbeidskrav er obligatorisk og må være godkjent for å fremstille seg til eksamen:

  • deltakelse i alle obligatoriske befaringer (inntil 4 dager)
  • deltakelse i labundervisning i programvare (Fokus Areal eller NovaPoint Areal, NovaPoint VA evt. GIS) (10 timer)

Required preliminary courses

1) Individuell muntlig eksamen (50%).

2) Mappevurdering med følgende mappekrav (50%).

 Fire skriftlige innleveringer:

  • Del 1: Reguleringsplan        
  • Del 2: Rapporter fra studieturer og befaringer.
  • Del 3: Øvingsoppgaver i transportplanlegging.         
  • Del 4: Individuell fordypningsrapport

Mappevurdering i del 2 gis en helhetlig vurdering med én karakter. Alle deler av mappeeksamen må være bestått for at mappen som helhet skal vurderes til bestått.

Begge deleksamener må være vurdert til bestått for at studenten skal kunne få bestått emne.

Eksamensdel 1 kan ikke påklages, eksamensdel 2 kan påklages.

Ved ny/utsatt eksamen gjennomføres del 1 som muntlig eksamen. For del 2 kan en forbedret versjon av mappen leveres.

Learning outcomes

Students who complete the course are expected to have the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

On successful completion of the course, the student in depth knowledge:

  • Identify contemporary issues and challenges in healthcare delivery in particular diagnostics.
  • Identify unmet biomedical and/or healthcare needs and apply engineering and life science principles for designing appropriate solutions.
  • Apply appropriate engineering and analytical principles to decipher, understand, and describe situations and problems in living systems.
  • Describe the key design considerations relevant to the development of diagnostics.
  • Describe the experimental tools and techniques used in diagnostic applications.

Skills

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

  • Solve quantitative problems in living systems using appropriate engineering and analytical concepts and calculations.
  • Collect, analyze, and critically evaluate experimental data.
  • Define the technical and practical factors that influence the performance of diagnosis.
  • Design solutions to current unmet biomedical and healthcare needs, taking into account key technical and practical considerations.

General competence

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

  • Communicate technical information clearly and concisely in oral and written form.
  • Demonstrate effective technical and scientific communication skills through the execution of various laboratory modules and projects.
  • Read scientific journal papers with a cross-disciplinary approach.

Teaching and learning methods

Del 1) To interne sensorer.

Del 2) En intern sensor.

Ekstern sensor brukes jevnlig.

Course requirements

Overlapp

Emnet er ekvivalent (overlapper 10 studiepoeng) med BYTS3400 Areal- og transportplanlegging.

Ved praktisering av 3-gangers regelen for oppmelding til eksamen teller forsøk brukt i ekvivalente emner.

Assessment

Individual assignment (report) counts for 70% of the final grade, and oral presentation of selected material (30 minutes per candidate) that counts 30 % of the final grade. Review assignment of report on a chosen subject, maximum 10 pages. To be submitted no more than two weeks after the end of the course.

Both individual assignment (report) and oral presentation must be passed in order to pass the course. The oral presentation cannot be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

None.

Grading scale

Pass or fail.

Examiners

A panel of all presenters in the course, and at least one external representative will evaluate the report and the presentation.
