The dates and methods of the midterm exams will be announced in the course opening information.

Completion alternatives

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

One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of five credits is approximately 135 hours. The load is distributed in different ways depending on the course implementation.

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 in the application of the essential concepts the skills are still inadequate.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good (3): The student:
- knows the issues to be taken into consideration in purchasing plans.
- is able to design and draw main diagrams and placement and cabling schemes.
- is able to design lighting, auxiliary systems, safety systems, heat tracing for safety systems, and instrumentation electrification.

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

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
