Mechanical Engineering

In this course, you learn to construct hydraulic systems and select components. The course also includes piping systems and pumps as well as ordinary energy machines. Emphasis is placed both on the understanding of systems and individual components.

Teaching methods

Lectures, laboratory assignments and supervised exercises.

The estimated workload is four hours of lectures, four hours of supervised exercises and five hours of self-study per week.

Exam and assessment

The exam consists of two parts:

• Part 1: Individual exam, three hours. This part counts as 60 percent
• Part 2: A project report. This part counts 40 percent.

This course is a continuation of MEK1300 - Programming 1 and goes deeper into more advanced topics in Python such as Object-Oriented Programming (Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism), Functional Programming (Lambda expressions, Map, Filter, Zip), List Comprehension, Generators, Decorators, and Metaprogramming.

Teaching methods

Lectures and exercises.

Exam and assessment

An Individual written exam of three hours.

The course addresses the engineering work that forms the basis of building a process plant. It includes calculations in process technology, preparation of drawings and selection of equipment and components. The field is theoretically demanding but also requires practical sense.

Teaching methods

Lectures, practice and project assignments.

Exam and assessment

An individual three-hour written exam under supervision.

Knowledge of linear dynamic systems is important in many applications, including electronics, signal processing, communications, biomedical engineering, robotics and control systems. 

The course deals with the analysis of linear dynamic systems in the time domain and the frequency domain. The course also is an introduction to modelling systems as differential equations and solving them by application of the Laplace transform.

The systems are analysed by their transfer function and frequency response. The frequency response also reveals the filter characteristics of the system and how it affects the frequency content of a signal.

Teaching methods

The teaching consists of lectures combined with exercises, laboratory work and a small project.

Exam and assessment

Individual written exam, three hours.

The elective course is initiated provided that a sufficient number of students choose the course.

Teaching methods

Classroom teaching combined with group work, laboratory work and guest lectures.

Exam and assessment

The exam is a portfolio exam consisting of the following:

• Results of five assignments given out during the semester.
• Reports from lab exercises.
• Project report prepared in groups of two to four students. The report should be approximately 20-30 pages, including a content list, reference list and a reflection note on the process, your role and contributions to the project.
• Oral/visual (video) presentation of the project

Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but all parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as 'passed' to pass the course.

The course deals with theoretical and practical aspects of applied fluid mechanics. Some of the vital topics covered are the boundary layer concept, governing equations, incompressible flows, compressible flows, internal flow, external flow, dimensional analysis, and introduction to experimental fluid dynamics.

Teaching methods

Lectures, experimental lab exercises and assignments.

Exam and assessment

1. Portfolio (counts 50 percent). The portfolio consists of two individual reports (word limit 1000 - 2000) based on relevant fluid mechanics problems.
2. Three-hour written exam under supervision (counts 50 percent).

In this course, you will learn about the mechanics of solids, with a focus on how structures behave under loading and deformation. 

We will cover the forces acting on and within structures, as well as the physical properties of materials that govern the relationship between motion, deformation, and external forces. 

Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of failure prevention in mechanical design. 
Overall, this course provides a balance of theoretical concepts and practical applications to give students a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of solids.

Teaching methods

Lectures, exercise assignments, lab sessions and project assignments.

Exam and assessment

A three-hour individual written exam.

Increased use of high-performance microcontrollers and microprocessors in manufacturing automation control systems, robots, home appliances, power tools, office equipment, implantable medical devices, remote controls and toys has caused the embedded systems segment of electronics to expand within the last few decades to dominate the computing.

Particularly, real-time embedded systems, fuelled by processor efficiency improvements and advancements in instrumentation such as sensors and actuators, have sustained steep growth globally in industrial automation, energy infrastructure, transportation, telecommunication, and healthcare applications.

The course covers the fundamentals of microcontroller hardware/software architecture, common types of instrumentation used to interact with the physical world of automation, and different types of embedded system interfaces that allow the partnership between processors and instrumentation to be effective in automation systems.

Sensors, measurement techniques, and important elements of industrial automation are studied, including examples of highly reliable robust PLC system hardware and programming.

Teaching methods

Lectures and laboratory assignments are central. The laboratory teaching is built to support classroom teaching and for hands-on practice with a number of products and solutions used in the industry.

A semester project consolidates the knowledge and skills from the entire semester.
