Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
After completing the course, the student should be able to explain how geometry models are represented, specified and verified.
Applied knowledge and skills
After completing the course, the student should be able to,
- create and analyze advanced geometry models,
- apply Geometric Product Specifications (GPS) according to international standards,
- program and simulate manufacturing in numerically controlled machine tools,
- prepare and carry out verification of geometry, and
- in group plan, implement and present a project where elements of the course are applied.
Judgement and approach
After completing the course, the student schould be able to assess her or his own knowledge and ability within the field to determine which additional knowledge is needed to achieve the requested result.
Content
The following topics are covered:
- advanced geometry modeling,
- model-based definition (MBD),
- basic simulation based on geometry models,
- programming of numerically controlled machine tools, and
- geometric product specification (GPS) and verification.
Examinations and grades
Theory, 4 credits (Code: A004)
Grades used are Fail (F), Sufficient (E), Satisfactory (D), Good (C), Very Good (B) or Excellent (A).
Applications, 3.5 credits (Code: A006)
Grades used are Fail (U) or Pass (G).
According to the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 6, Section 18, a grade is to be awarded on the completion of a course, unless otherwise prescribed by the university. The university may determine which grading system is to be used. The grade must be determined by a teacher specifically nominated by the university (the examiner).
In accordance with university regulations on grading systems for first and second-cycle courses and study programmes (Vice-Chancellor’s decision ORU 2018/00929), one of the following grades is to be used: fail (U), pass (G) or pass with distinction (VG). For courses included in an international master’s programme (60 or 120 credits) or offered to the university’s incoming exchange students, the A to F grading scale is to be used. The vice-chancellor, or a person appointed by them, may decide on exceptions from this provision for a specific course, if there are special grounds for doing so.
The grades used on this course are Fail (F), Sufficient (E), Satisfactory (D), Good (C), Very Good (B) or Excellent (A).
Comments on grades
Grades on the course are given by the grade from examination module A004 given that A006 is approved.
Modes of assessment
- Theory (A004): Written exam. The re-exam falls within eleven weeks of the regular exam.
- Applications (A006): Project work, assignments, oral presentation. In the event of absence from a mandatory session, the examiner decides whether the session can be taken at another teaching session of the same type. Otherwise, the student is referred to the next course opportunity.
For students with a documented disability, the university may approve applications for adapted or other modes of assessment.
For further information, see the university's local examination regulations.
Specific entry requirements
A basic course in 3D modeling with CAD and a basic course in mechanics.
For further information, see the university's admission regulations.
Other provisions
Students who have been admitted to and registered on a course have the right to receive tuition and/or supervision for the duration of the time period specified for the particular course to which they were accepted (see, the university's admission regulations (in Swedish)). After that, the right to receive tuition and/or supervision expires.
