Teaching methods

Automation software engineering is problem-oriented and therefore problem based learning is also used as a learning method. It takes place through contact hours, project work and independent work.

Exam schedules

Evaluation discussion in project return.

Student workload

Lectures 60 h, independent study 75 h, total 135 hours work for student

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Adequate (1): The student identifies the basic knowledge and terminology but in the interpreting of the essential concepts the skills are still inadequate.

Satisfactory (2): The student is familiar with the basic knowledge and terminology but it’s challenging to solve problems in device controls independently.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good (3): The student is able to manage large and complicated PLC- based automation systems. The student can independently solve the problems in existing systems and systems being developed.

Very good (4): The student masters the essential knowledge and can apply the knowledge.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Excellent (5): The student masters the essential knowledge and can apply the knowledge acquired in a creative and innovative manner.

Qualifications

Siemens S7 basic programming

Further information

Self-assessment through project work. Continuous peer review as project work progresses. The evaluation decision is based on a 100% evaluation discussion about the project work.
