About
About the course
Course content
Academic content
Product development, innovation and creation. Design and adaptation of products and production equipment for automated production with a view to sustainable quality.
Teamwork, HR, collaboration, and team process. Practical project work, planning, organization, quality assurance and safeguarding health, environment and safety (HSE).
Process management and control, programming, production and process planning - investments, risk assessment, economics, costs, budget and follow-up.
Holistic systems thinking. Reduction of waste - quality loss (product quality, human resources and process quality)
Academic basis for planning, collaborating, leading and implementing a semester assignment: a technology project - rooted in a real problem: developing and adapting products and production equipment for an automated industrial line with a robot.
Technical and societal problem solving in the industry should contribute to enabling students to work professionally in a holistic and interdisciplinary context. It will also help students to be able to work from a systemic perspective, and will also give students a better basis for understanding the environmental and societal consequences of technology.

Learning methods and activities
Learning methods and activities
It is planned that students will work in teams on this topic.Team work can take place both across study programs and within their own program. It is arranged to use a wide and varied selection of work and learning methods that contribute to students achieving personal development and independence in their own profession.
Flexibility of teaching arrangements that enable a high degree of online participation in work requirements and workshops. Online lectures
Mandatory work requirements.
Individual assignments are graded as pass/fail.
Teamwork
Compulsory assignments
- Assignments, see course description
Further on evaluation
The home exam must include documentation of completed project work with reflection as well as knowledge tests.
Mandatory work requirements are submitted in Canvas for formative assessment; approved/not approved. If the mandatory work requirements are not approved, the candidate cannot take the exam.
Continuation: If all mandatory work requirements are approved, the project work can be submitted again at the next completion of the course. If the mandatory work requirements are not approved, the course must be retaken.
Mandatory work requirements. Teamwork & Individual assignments are assessed as approved/not approved.
