Learning Outcomes

General competencies

Teach the basic principles of heat and mass transfer, specifically oriented towards applications in electronics and electrical systems. Basic equations and their solution methods, coupled to solving practical problems.

It is expected that the student knows the basic laws of conduction and diffusion, and their application in energy and material balances. The student should be able to derive a model and make simple calculations.

This course contributes to the following programme outcomes of the Bachelor in Engineering Sciences:

The Bachelor in Engineering Sciences has a broad fundamental knowledge and understanding of
1. scientific principles and methodology of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering;
2. engineering principles and the ability to apply them to analyse key engineering processes and to investigate new and emerging technologies;
4. fundamental, basic methods and theories to schematize and model problems or processes.

The Bachelor in Engineering Sciences can
5. define, classify, formulate and solve engineering problems, identify the constraints and is able to delimit and formulate the tasks in order to submit these to a critical examination and to check the solutions for their sustainability and social relevance;
6. monitor, interpret and apply the results of analysis and modelling in order to bring about continuous improvement;
7. apply quantitative methods and computer software relevant to the engineering discipline in order to solve engineering problems;
10. correctly report on design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a paper;
12. reason in a logical, abstract and critical way;
13. conduct open dialogues, discussions and negotiations, and can write scientific reports and to hold presentations using the most modern ICT technologies;
14. work in team, shows creativity and entrepreneurship, and has intellectual mobility.

The Bachelor in Engineering Sciences has
16. a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation;
17. a critical attitude towards one’s own results and those of others;
18. acquired the tools for knowledge collection towards life-long learning;

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 100% of the final mark.

Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

Schriftelijk theorie with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

Note: Schriftelijk examen: 2 theorievragen met bijvragen, gesloten boek. 50%.
Schriftelijk oefeningen with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

Note: Schriftelijk examen: 1 of 2 oefeningen (vergelijkbaar met de oefeningen van het WPO), open boek. 50%

Additional info regarding evaluation

Written examination theory: 2 questions, with minor additional questions (closed book). 50%

Written examination exercises: 1 or 2 exercises (comparable to exercises of the WPO) (open book). 50%

Allowed unsatisfactory mark

The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
