Teaching methods

Lectures an seminars introducing various aspects of welding technology, as well as learning assignments based on information retrieval and application.Tasks are done and returned both individually and in groups.
In the middle of the course, free form anonymous feedback is collected for the development of the course.

The implementation of the course is based on both in-class contact teaching and IT distance learning. Each contact has a theme related to welding technology. During the course, students work in groups on five assessed learning assignments, which are returned in writing. Some of the learning tasks are also returned orally. These so-called seminar presentation shifts occur per group 2-3 times during the study period. In addition, written assignments or returnable exercises to the online learning environment are performed independently.

The responsible and transparent use of AI applications is encouraged in this course. Instructions for using artificial intelligence can be found in chapter 3.2 (https://help.jamk.fi/raportointiohje/fi/3-kirjoittamisprosessi/tekoalyn-kaytto-oppimistehtavissa-ja-opinnaytetyossa/) of the thesis reporting instructions. If necessary, the instructions for each learning assignment contain more detailed information on how to use it in that particular task.

If a student has not attended the lectures during the first week and fails to submit Assignment 1 by the deadline, the student will be removed from the study course, and after that can no longer participate in this implementation of the course.

Practical training and working life connections

If possible, a representative of the manufacturing industry will give a visiting lecture during the study period.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

Exam in the last contact teaching session of the course. Two replays; the first in February 2025, the second in May 2025. Re-exams are conducted in an exam studio.

Alternative completion methods

The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide. The teacher of the course will give you more information on possible specific course practices.

Student workload

In multimodal implementation:
lectures 24 h,
learning assignments 86 h,
independent work 25 h.
A total of 135 h of learning work.

Content scheduling

The scheduling of the course content is determined by the dates of the contact days.
