Materials

Teaching material in JAMK's e-learning environment.

Teaching methods

Contact teaching focuses on practical laboratory exercises and seminars on project / development reports. The implementation of the course is mainly independent study, remote use of simulation environments and preferably doing a development report/project related to one's own work environment. The purpose of the development project is to prepare the way for future thesis work.

Employer connections

The project report is preferably made in connection with one's own work environment.

Student workload

Contact teaching maximum 35 hours.
A total of 135 hours of student work.
