Student workload

Total 135 h

Further information for students

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

Evaluation scale

0-5

Evaluation criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Adequate (1): The student identifies the basic knowledge and terminology of electrical designing of instrumentation but in the interpreting of the engineering design project the skills are still inadequate.

Satisfactory (2): The student is familiar with the basic knowledge and terminology of electrical designing of instrumentation but in the application of the engineering design project the skills are still inadequate.

Evaluation criteria, good (3-4)

Good (3): The student knows the issues to be taken into consideration in electrical designing of instrumentation and is able to desing documentation in an engineering design project.

Very good (4): The student masters the essential knowledge of electrical designing of instrumentation and can apply the knowledge to the project work.

Evaluation criteria, excellent (5)

Excellent (5): The student masters the essential knowledge of electrical designing of instrumentation and can apply the knowledge to the project work acquired in a creative and innovative manner.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of control engineering and basic CAD drafting skills
