Intended learning outcomes
After completed course with an E, the student should be able to:
• describe general principles, methods and equipment used for operations and automation while, in a structured way, explain how to formulate problems in automation
• account for the function of control systems in the case of manufacturing equipment
• explain how industrial robots work and how they are used
• account for environmental, human and economical prerequisites for the systems construction and use
For a higher grade, the student should also:
• show competence within the aforementioned points in a deeper sense, and
• construct, program and deploy simpler automated facilities
• program industrial robots and show skills in complex problem solving within the context of said programming
• explain how components in automated systems are coordinated
• describe the transformation of industrial work toward digitalization and a higher level of automation
• identify problems in automated facilities from maintenance perspectives and suggest measures to mitigate them
• discuss the safety and environmental aspects related to automation and argument for or against different viewpoints in a nuanced way
