Project IA5 IA5506

Prerequisites

Digital Techniques, Applied Mathematics, Electronics I, Electrotechnology.

Course Objectives

Students will acquire insight and practice in system design and working methods with regards to both technical and non-technical issues.

They will learn how to carry out a systematic specification of a technical system, based on knowledge of (amongst other things) analogue techniques, digital techniques, measurement techniques, control techniques and/or ICT/software development.

AC current technology, electrical installations, electrical machines, management and regulation and/or ICT/software development.

They will learn how to set up resources and accounts for a technical product.

They will gain experience in management, written and oral presentations, group dynamics, social psychology, scientific working methods, and acquire responsibility for their working environment and that of others.

Course Description

A technical approach that will provide students with experience in system design, as well as working methods regarding technical, economic and other non-technical aspects adapted to the student’s choice of specialisation.

The project will normally cover one or more of the following elements: phases in an automation project and specification of system with selection of methods of measurement; overall system philosophy; control strategy; flow control devices; interlock devices; and distributed systems. Man-machine communication (MMC) and various instrumentation assignments are also a part of the project, as well as use of the relevant regulations.

Learning Methods

Group work with supervision.

The project may be completed, or it may serve as a pilot project for the main project.

Project courses dealing with relevant topics if necessary.

Assessment Methods

Execution of the project, reporting and final presentation/examination. Individual grades.
