Aim
The aim of the course is to provide students with insights and understandings of an engineer's professional role, the engineer's duties in the chosen technology area, and to introduce issues and working methods that characterize engineering activities. The course also aims at giving students understanding of content in the study programme for Economics and Manufacturing Technology.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Give examples on the professional role of an engineer and position of engineers in society
- Have orientated knowledge of modern and efficient production processes
- Be able to read and understand technical documentation
- Have knowledge of industrial management and calculation
- Describe project work as a form of work and applying these skills
- Have basic knowledge on group work and development processes
- Reflect on equality aspects of work organisation
- Search for relevant information and assess the quality of various types of documents or sources
- Compile and present results from an engineering project work both orally and in writing
Content
The course is interdisciplinary, in which several different subject areas are integrated, practical and theoretical, with the aim of providing students with orientation skills in several subjects that are central to the professional role of an engineer. The course contains subjects such as production technology including manufacturing technology and preparation, calculation, project planning, information retrieval, and communication. There is also a section on technical documentation in the course. The subject area of production technology comprises reading technical drawings, manufacturing techniques, preparation and a comprehensive understanding of the production process as well as introduction to industrial management. In the project planning section students receive both theoretical knowledge in the subject area as well as the opportunity to apply these in the course project assignment. Information retrieval is carried out at the library where searches are made in both internal and external databases. In the communication section, technical reporting is conducted, in both writing and oral presentation.Organisation
The course consists of lectures, exercises / supervision of project work and a field trip.Literature
