Entry requirements

None

Recommended previous knowledge

Electrical engineering from the tertiary vocational school.

Analysis and linear algebra.

Teaching methods

Lectures, laboratory exercises (simulation lab), and calculation workshop.

Regular lectures, exercises, laboratory work, and similar activities will be given every third week. During the two weeks where there is no regular teaching, the students are expected to work on the subject by themselves or in teams and to follow course material that is made available online.

In special cases instruction will be given by an English speaking lecturer/guest lecturer. The exam will still be given in Norwegian.

Parts of the course might be given in Haugesund.

Compulsory learning activities

Preliminary Examination 1: Will be specified in the course plan by semester start. Valid for the semester that the Preliminary Examination is completed and the next semester. 

Preliminary Examination 2: Laboratory tasks with report. Will be specified in the course plan by semester start.

Assessment

Written exam, 5 hours.

Graded scale: A - E / F (failed).

Examination support material

Simple calculator. Allowed calculator is Casio fx-82 (all varieties: ES, ES Plus, EX, Solar etc.)
