Teaching methods

Lectures and video lectures to watch at your own time.
In connection with the mini-tests, familiarity with the topics of the lesson is demonstrated, and the understanding of the topic is deepened with practice tasks.
When working in a group, you learn from a colleague and share insights, also between groups.
In joint calculation lessons, skills are honed with the power of examples.

Exam schedules

Unit processes exam
Fundamental of flow technology and
Fundamental of thermal engineering
Retake exams on EE technology exam days, which are announced at the beginning of the course in the learning environment.

International connections

Theory teaching, independent calculation exercises, calculation workshops
Continuous learning is based on constructive development, which is strongly based on the development of the previous process-technical thinking and on deepening the mathematical and physical and especially fundamental of thermodynamic basics.
In a situational learning environment, working in a group and learning through insight are emphasized towards the mastery of solid substance.
Knowledge of the subject area of the course helps in later studies to apply the subjects of the subject area to promote sustainable development.

Completion alternatives

Equivalent training acquired elsewhere (university level, bachelor of science level or equivalent), which is encouraged according to Turkuamk's instructions at the student's initiative.

Student workload

Student workload as a guideline 5 cr = 135 h
It should be noted that for some it does not take all of the aforementioned time to master the subject area, while for other learners the aforementioned time is not enough. In order to pass the course, you have to invest in learning the subject area.
The course lecture material is distributed in the ITS environment.
The student is responsible for doing the homework.
Participating is not enough to master the material management of calculus lessons, the tasks must also be done at home.
Completing laboratory tasks requires preparing the material in advance and understanding the subject. When the laboratory work starts, it is too late to familiarize yourself with the material.

Further information

All the communication is kept during the lectures and calculation lectures.
Also ITS-Learning notice board is actively used.
Email is used only in urgent matters. Student are adjured to communicate during the lectures.
Do not use any other possible communication methods like Peppi- messages or equivalent, those ARE NOT actively monitored.
