Teaching methods

Teaching method is project oriented, with co-operative learning in groups, facilitated by a student design project in which simulation and model-based design of an electric drive system is performed.

A number of lectures and individual assignments, where theoretical issues in Power Electronics and Drives are given.

Assessment

Mandatory tasks

No mandatory tasks.

Assessment

Overall assessment based on Oral examination and compulsory project work.

The final evaluation will be based on an oral examination (counting 50%) and a project report (counting 50%) the grading of these are combined to a final grade.

Grading scale is from A (highest) to F (lowest), with E as the minimum pass grade.

Re-sit exam

Students can do a re-sit exam

Date for examination

Oral 19.10.2017;Take-home examination hand in date 16.09.2017

The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
