    Competence objectives of study unit
    After completing the course the student can:
    - model physical phenomena and apply the model in engineering
    - recognise physical possibilities and limitations
    - use measuring equipment
    - do suitable measuring arrangement for a problem and complete the measurements
    - estimate uncertainty of measurements and determine uncertainty for the results in simple cases
    - make and analyse graphical presentations
    - keep a laboratory notebook
    - report results orally and in writing
    - work safely at a laboratory
    - work safely with different kinds of radioactive radiation
    - handle waste developed in laboratory

    Teacher(s) in charge

    Antti Haarto, Jaakko Lamminpää

    Learning material

    Material constructed by teacher in ItsLearning.
    Almost any Physics book for Engineers.

    Learning methods

    Teacher-led classroom activities, problem based, independent studies, team work

    Objects, timing and methods of assessment

    Supervised exercise (1 pieces) are evaluated on a scale (0 when the exercise is not done at all, 0.5 when only the measurements have been made and 1-2 when the report has also been approved).
    Making and reporting of other exercises (10 pieces) are evaluated on a scale of 0-5 (0 when the exercise is not done at all).
    There is a larger preliminary task for the Electric circuit exercise that evaluates on a scale of 0-2.
    There are 11 laboratory exercises and 1 of these are evaluated on a scale of 0-2, 9 of these on a scale of 0-5 and 1 of these are evaluated on a scale of 0-7, so maximum points are 54 (1 x 2 + 9 x 5 + 1 x 7 points) from laboratory exercises.
    Maximum points are 26 from the final exam.
    So total maximum is 80 points.

    Assessment scale

    H-5

    Exam dates and retake possibilities

    Final exam at week 49 or 50.
    The re-exam could be done within the exam of next course.
    Other complementary work to the course must be agreed with the teacher.

    Pedagogic approaches

    During the course, you will learn the basic skills of measuring physics and analyzing the results, which are the basis of the engineering work. Tasks include sectoral application examples. The course uses international physics notation and terminology, which enables students to understand international engineering literature, standards, etc. Students are encouraged to work in teamwork. The course uses a digital learning environment.

    Student's schedule and workload

    Partification in classroom activities and exam: 30 h.
    Independent study, preparing to the exercise, reporting and preparing to the final exam: 100 h.
