About

About the course

Course content

The course provides an introduction to mechanical engineering in general and the following topics in particular:

  • Systematic working techniques.
  • Planning, conducting and documenting theoretical and experimental work based on given scope.
  • Introduction to digitalization and sustainability.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

  • The candidate has comprehensive knowledge of processes, tools, and methods within mechanical engineering, particularly in systematic product development, design, and manufacturing techniques.
  • The candidate understands and can apply the principles of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) in real-world engineering projects, with a focus on quality assurance and risk management throughout the product development cycle.

Skills:

  • The candidate can apply knowledge and relevant research and development results to solve theoretical, technical, and practical challenges in mechanical engineering, justifying their design and technical choices.
  • The candidate can identify, plan, and execute projects, experiments, and simulations, analyzing and applying the resulting data both independently and in teams.

General Competence:

  • The candidate demonstrates the ability to manage and execute complex design and development projects, such as the design and production of a mechanical clock, which meets contemporary customer requirements using the systematic methodologies learned in Maskinteknikk 1.

Learning methods and activities

Pedagogical methods:

  • Individual assignments
  • Group work under supervision
  • Lectures on chosen topics
  • Quizzes, surveys, and short virtual exercises during lectures to promote active participation and immediate feedback

Compulsory assignments

  • Mandatory assignments

Further on evaluation

  • Individuelle og gruppearbeidskrav leveres fortløpende som grunnlag for semesterprosjektet.
  • Minst 80% av arbeidskravene må være godkjente for å kunne levere semesterprosjektet.
  • Prosjektrapporten er den primære kilden for individuell vurdering i emnet.
  • I tillegg brukes egenvurdering i teamene for å vurdere individuelle bidrag og innsats. Ved gjentak må alle vurderinger i emnet gjentas.
