MAT 300 Vector Analysis – 10 ECTS

Course Description

• After completion of the course, the
  student will be able to calculate double and triple integrals as well as surface
  and line integrals. The student will be able to apply Green's, Divergence, and
  Stokes' theorems and have sufficient knowledge in vector analysis to handle the
  mentioned topics. The student will also be introduced to partial differential
  equations.
  
• Vector calculus, directional
  derivatives, multiple integrals, line and surface integrals, vector fields,
  Stokes', Green's, and Divergence theorems. Introduction to partial differential
  equations.
  
• Assessment: Written exam.
• Differentiation, integration, elementary differential equations,
  linear algebra, series (Taylor and Fourier series) and multivariable functions.
  
• Six hours of lectures
  and problem solving per week.
  

MSK 250 Finite Element Methods – 10 ECTS

Course Description

• After the completion of
  the course, the student will have sufficient knowledge and basic understanding
  of the finite element method. They will be able to solve basic problems of trusses,
  frames, and two-dimensional structures. Furthermore, with the use of finite
  element computer programs, the student will acquire skills in solving
  mechanical and structural engineering problems.
  
• Main topics of the course include an overview of the Finite
  Element Method, Mathematical Background, Linear Spring Elements, Bar Elements,
  Trusses, Beams, Frames, the principle of Minimum Potential Energy for 1-D
  Elements, Elasticity equations for 2-D and 3-D solids, the principle of Minimum
  Potential Energy for 2-D and 3-D elements and Finite Element modelling of Heat
  Transfer.
  
• Assessment: Written exam and project.
• Structural Mechanics, Linear
  Algebra, Computer Programming (e.g. MatLab or Mathematica)
  
• 4 lecture
  hours per week. 2 hours of exercises and project work for 4 weeks with a tutor.
  Grading is based on compulsory assignments throughout the semester and a teamwork-based
  project.
  

MSK 260 Production and Manufacturing Technology – 10 ECTS

CourseDescription

• After completion of the
  course, the student will be able to solve both technical and management related
  tasks in the production/manufacturing industry.
