  • The candidate knows about industrial robots.

Skills

  • The candidate can program PLC systems.
  • The candidate can implement simulators.
  • The candidate can use program libraries/function blocks.
  • The candidate can read and interpret schematics/drawings.
  • The candidate can participate in practical project work.
  • The candidate can connect various automation components (hardware).
  • The candidate can work safely in the lab.

General competence

  • The candidate can perform project management and planning.
  • The candidate can work in teams/projects.
  • The candidate can present project work and report progress.
  • The candidate can evaluate risk and perform risk-mitigating measures.
  • The candidate understands the technological area and its relation to the rest of the world, both with respect to ethical and social challenges and the relation to the environment, resources, and sustainability.

Learning methods and activities

Learning activities generally include a mix of lectures, tutorials and practical lab/project work. A constructivist approach for learning is endorsed, with focus on problem solving and practical application of theory.

Compulsory work: 10 exercises.

Further on evaluation

The final grade is based on an overall evaluation of the portfolio, which consists of a number of works delivered through the semester. The portfolio contains assignments that are carried out, digitally documented and submitted during the term. Both individual and team assignments may be given. Assignments are designed to help students achieve specific course learning outcomes, and formative feedback is given during the period of the portfolio. The re-sit exam is an oral exam in August.
