Teaching methods

The author has to solve different kinds of problems related to production of the CAD documents. You constantly have to make decisions about the details of the work. Therefore, problem-based learning is used as a learning method. Learning takes place through independently fulfilled and returned learning tasks. The completion of the learning tasks is guided by the video instructions and during the contact lessons.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

Examination (spring 2024)
Resit 1 (spring 2024)
Resit 2 (spring 2024)

Student workload

Total study work 54 hours.

Further information for students

Self-assessments are mainly done through the learning tasks. The assessment decision is based on the learning tasks and the skills demonstrated in the exam.
