The course comprises a number of practical tasks where different types of machines and workshop processes are introduced, followed by individual exercises in order to promote the practical skills of the student. Related to each practical task, theoretical aspects are illustrated and examined, e.g. in the applied materials section. The main part of the course is carried out in the student workshop facility and the machine equipment installed constitutes the focus of the course tasks. Being examined from the course, each student will receive a workshop license which allows for utilizing the workshop in other LTH courses and in the thesis work. The course comprises education in machining of materials (turning, milling, drilling etc), sheet metal processing, welding (MAG, TIG, MMA), NC machining, tool technology and a comprehensive part including materials technology and heat treatment. The heat treatment part comprises material structures in different material groups, the heat treatments to achieve certain properties and sample preparation in order to analyse structures and properties. Theoretical models are used in order to understand achieved results.
Grading scale: UG - (U, G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: Practical exercises and tests for every characteristic machine or group of machine, in the form of a real part to be manufactured after machine drawings, alternatively practical exercises related to processes demanding training of personal skills, e.g. welding.
Individual written reports, complementary to the practical exercises, where different aspects of process planning and process outcome should be analysed.
In groups, written reports on heat treatment and applied materials technology, together with oral presentation.
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.
