Required prerequisite knowledge
Exam
| Weight | Duration | Marks | Aid | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual written exam - Matlab | 2/5 | 3 hours | A - F | Basic calculator specified in general exam regulations. |
| Folder evaluation | 3/5 | A - F | All. |
Folder evaluation: Participation in mandatory lectures, excursions and process calculations. Project work with report and oral presentation in groups.
Both parts must be passed to pass the subject.
Candidates with a non-passing folder evaluation may re-take the tests next time the course has regular teaching.
Coursework requirements
The student may take written exam when mandatory assignment in Matlab is approved.
Participation in mandatory lectures, excursions and oral presentation of the project work.
