The course covers the following design techniques areas:
Grading scale: TH
Assessment: To receive a final passing grade, the student must receive a passing grade on the three individual assignments – one in mechanical joint design and two in embodiment design. Each assignment consists of a basic task (passing grade – 3 points), and two optional sub-tasks for those who would like to earn a higher grade (4 or 5 points). Only the basic task can be supplemented afterwards if the student does not pass the first time. The final grade will be the integer average of the points earned on the three individual assignments.
