Examination details

Grading scale: UG - (U, G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: A written report and an oral presentation of the work.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.

Modules
Code: 0119. Name: Project in Solid Mechanics.
Credits: 7.5. Grading scale: UG - (U, G). Assessment: Approved project report and presentation. The module includes: A sizeable project assignment. The scope and method will be decided after discussion with the examinator.
