Examination including compulsory elements
Part A:Mechanical Engineering
1. Written exam in 2 parts
Part 1, 85% for approved
Part 2 For grade 3 at least 50% of the total sum. For grade 4 requires at least 70%. Grade 5 requires at least 85%.
Part B:
Drawing technique
- 7st ritövningar be made based on the fact book. These exercises should be recognized and approved before the teacher responsible for Rating 3 shall be given. Note all students should do this individually, copying between students is not allowed.
- For those students who desire a higher grade: to draw any item that requires at least three views and can be turned over to a workshop for manufacturing. Again, the individual work, copying between students is not allowed.
- For delbetyg 4, there must be a maximum of three errors in the drawing.
- For delbetyg 5 requires that the maximum is 1 error in the drawing.
Part C:
English
- Required lab occasions
- Compulsory assignments
- Written test
Part D:
2. Simulation exercises
Passed in all simulator labs, and that laboratory report is submitted.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
