The studies in the programme of electrical and automation engineering aim at diverse skills in electrical and automation engineering, with a strong focus on technology and mathematics.
The annual themes for the studies describe both the learning goals as well as the professional growth stages for each year. Each year you will carry out design, survey and measurement tasks together with other students. The structure and implementation of the studies emphasise the ”finding out” principle which is central in the field.
1st year theme
The business of electrical and automation engineering, basic engineering skills and finding out your own learning needs.
2nd year theme
Basic engineering skills, basic professional skills of the chosen study path, working as a member of a project group.
3rd year theme
Improving the basic professional skills, improving the learning principles behind “finding out” and working responsibly in different groups.
4th year theme
Skills to develop into an expert of the field, the use, design and maintenance of electrotechnical systems.
You may complete some of the 3rd and 4th year studies in international exchange or working in business life projects.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
As a Bachelor of Engineer from the study path of automation engineering you may work in design, use and management tasks in automation, technical sales, administration as well as entrepreneurs in both Finland and in international tasks.
Bachelors of Engineering from the study path in electrical power engineering work in design, use and management tasks in the industry, electric energy and electrical installations. They also work in technical sales, administration and as entrepreneurs in Finland and in international tasks.
From the study path in intelligent machines you will graduate as an engineer with strong basic competences in automation and electric power engineering as well as the ability to work in challenging, multidisciplinary innovation projects.
As you gain more experience, you can progress in your career into supervision, management or demanding expert tasks.

Objectives (course unit)
The student can
• understand the basic concepts of electrical circuits and understand their origin
• use current-voltage equations of circuit components for analyzing electrical circuits and understand the principles of basic components
• systematically analyze electrical circuits.
In addition to analyzing skills, the student has a strong understanding that any circuit can be systematically solved by the Kirchhoff Voltage Law, Kirchhoff Power Law, and component current-voltage equations, and that the primary goal of various circuit resolution methods is merely to reduce the workload required for analysis.
Content (course unit)
Direct current circuits: options for connecting resistors, principles of circuit analysis, construction of different solution methods from Kirchhoff's laws.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)
The student is able to analyze simple DC circuits.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
The student has such a strong routine for analyzing DC circuits that the complexity of the task does not substantially complicate the task, but only increases the workload. The student has also developed a strong circuit reading skill, which is needed, for example, to simplify complex circuits.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)
The student knows the background of circuit analysis so well that he understands that different solution methods are just the application of the same rules in different ways. As a result, the student is able to solve any circuit by any method and is aware that the difference between the methods is ultimately only in the workload.

The group does not have clear rules of the game for its operations, the project progresses to some extent guided by the director or the client. The members of the project group focus on their own parts, the cooperation between the members and with the client and the utilization of the strengths of the group members are insufficient. The share produced by the student in the project remains insufficient.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
In a managed manner, the group agrees on the rules to be followed in the group and, as a rule, follows them in its activities. The team members act according to the agreed rules and the instructions of the project manager, listening to the views of others and cooperating with the customer. However, taking responsibility for the project varies in its different phases. As a rule, the output of the project corresponds to the assignment. The group's and the client's views on the quality of the work are relatively similar.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)
The group agrees on its own initiative and jointly the rules to be followed in the group and takes care of their compliance in its activities. Each member of the group contributes to the achievement of the project's goals through their own activities in cooperation with other members of the group and bears responsibility for the progress of the project throughout the project. The team members cooperate naturally with the customer and modify the plans according to the feedback they receive. The project is progressing on schedule or the changes have been agreed together with the customer. The project team can realistically assess the quality of the output in relation to the project's goals and reflect on the progress of the project.

Objectives (course unit)
The student can
- understand the basic concepts of electrical circuits and understand their origin
- use current-voltage equations of circuit components for analyzing electrical circuits and understand the principles of basic components
- systematically analyze electrical circuits
In addition to analyzing skills, the student has a strong understanding that any circuit can be systematically solved by the Kirchhoff Voltage Law, Kirchhoff Power Law, and component current-voltage equations, and that the primary goal of various circuit resolution methods is merely to reduce the workload required for analysis.
Content (course unit)
Direct current circuits: options for connecting resistors, principles of circuit analysis, construction of different solution methods from Kirchhoff's laws.
Alternating current circuits: utilization of complex numbers in the description of alternating current quantities (pointer computation), impedance concept, repetition of computational methods using pointer computation.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)
The student is able to analyze simple DC and AC circuits.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
The student understands the functional differences between DC and AC circuits. In addition, the student has such a strong routine for analyzing electrical circuits that the complexity of the task does not substantially complicate the task, but only increases the workload. The student has also developed a strong circuit reading skill, which is needed, for example, to simplify complex circuits. The calculation of AC power is smooth.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)
The student knows the background of circuit analysis so well that he understands that different solution methods are just the application of the same rules in different ways. As a result, the student is able to solve any circuit by any method and is aware that the difference between the methods is ultimately only in the workload. As a result of a strong understanding, the analysis of AC circuits is not substantially more difficult than DC power circuits.

The members of the project group focus on their own parts, the cooperation between the members and with the client and the utilization of the strengths of the group members are insufficient. The share produced by the student in the project remains insufficient.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
In a managed manner, the group agrees on the rules to be followed in the group and, as a rule, follows them in its activities. The team members act according to the agreed rules and the instructions of the project manager, listening to the views of others and cooperating with the customer. However, taking responsibility for the project varies in its different phases. As a rule, the output of the project corresponds to the assignment. The group's and the client's views on the quality of the work are relatively similar.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)
The group agrees on its own initiative and jointly the rules to be followed in the group and takes care of their compliance in its activities. Each member of the group contributes to the achievement of the project's goals through their own activities in cooperation with other members of the group and bears responsibility for the progress of the project throughout the project. The team members cooperate naturally with the customer and modify the plans according to the feedback they receive. The project is progressing on schedule or the changes have been agreed together with the customer. The project team can realistically assess the quality of the output in relation to the project's goals and reflect on the progress of the project.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
In a managed manner, the group agrees on the rules to be followed in the group and, as a rule, follows them in its activities. The team members act according to the agreed rules and the instructions of the project manager, listening to the views of others and cooperating with the customer. However, taking responsibility for the project varies in its different phases. As a rule, the output of the project corresponds to the assignment. The group's and the client's views on the quality of the work are relatively similar.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)
The group agrees on its own initiative and jointly the rules to be followed in the group and takes care of their compliance in its activities. Each member of the group contributes to the achievement of the project's goals through their own activities in cooperation with other members of the group and bears responsibility for the progress of the project throughout the project. The team members cooperate naturally with the customer and modify the plans according to the feedback they receive. The project is progressing on schedule or the changes have been agreed together with the customer. The project team can realistically assess the quality of the output in relation to the project's goals and reflect on the progress of the project.

Objectives (course unit)
The student knows the basic principles and theories of human resource management. They understand the key concepts of work psychology and the differences between work cultures in the international environment. The student understands the connection between the know-how, well-being and performance of the personnel of the industrial unit, eg IoT / Big Data utilization in operational development.
The student is familiar with the company's strategy process and tools and understands the importance of strategy for the company's operations.
The student knows the principles of the work community change process, is able to motivate and reward the employees of the industrial unit in an appropriate way. The student is able to evaluate and develop himself / herself as a supervisor taking into account also sustainable development (social responsibility).
The student is familiar with the core content of the labor legislation of his / her field and is able to draw up an employment contract for an employee of an industrial company. The student is familiar with the different stages and regulations of the recruitment process and the dismissal process.
Content (course unit)
human resource management, strategy process, change management, self-management, motivation, employment law, employment contract
Location and time
Conjoint face-to-face processing between participants takes place in class room according to syllabus. Peer-groups decide to themselves the place and time for the peer-group processing, during those weeks which has been agreed to. It is also possible for teacher and students to construct timetable during the course, if need occurs. In case of pandemy teaching will take place with the help of digital tools.
Exam schedules
An exam will be organised only upon joint agreement between responsible teacher and course attendants. Baseline is that no exam will be held on this course (instead peer-groups will provide jointly one portfolio - portfolio process will be explicitly explained in the beginning of the course).
Assessment methods and criteria
The course will be assessed based on a written peer group work (=portfolio). All the rehearsals during the course will affect on the course note if connected to portfolio and presented as part of it. Group size, reporting, modus operandi, all will be closer discussed on first classes. NOTICE! With a joint agreement between teacher and students any part of the course can become subject to modifications. The grading will take place by teacher reflecting the (through Urkund's / TURNITIN's plagiation prevention platform) delivered final portfolio against Bloom's taxonomy - depending which level the peer-group members have achieved with their portfolio, decides for the note. NOTICE! Peer-groups are entitled to fire such a member who, regardless of exhortations is unable to follow the guidelines, agreed upon by the peer-group internally. Such a (dismissed) member's note for the course will be zero (0).
The general evaluation criterias of TAMK are considered as well: https://www.tuni.fi/opiskelijanopas/kasikirja/tamk?search=arviointi&page=2198 Note! The teacher reserves the right to specify and modify the content and principles of assessment – for example, grading may deviate from the "identical grade for all peer group members"-principle; however, any changes are discussed with the students first, giving them an opportunity to influence the alterations.
Assessment scale
0-5
Teaching methods
Processive learning, interactive discussions, rehearsals (written & oral). Can include also other type of activities
Learning materials
Teacher will define material to be used in the beginning of the course. During the entire course e-material will be provided and updated in cloud (/Moodle or equivalent platform). Each student is strongly encouraged on individual, preferably most focused, relevant data mining from any chosen source (dissertations / articles / magazines / literature / media / interviews / web) - the use of such sources will be further addressed and explained in the beginning of course.
Student workload
Course entity is thus planned that student's time usage equals at each time Tamk's preset requirement. Face-to-face occurring class room educational activities is only a part of the students' work load. Another part of student work is all the processing that takes via peer groups, e.g. in form of discussion, analytical processing of information and additionally continuos development of course report (=portfolio) throughout the course. Third part of students' work is individually performed data mining and principles of knowledge managing - each peer group are urged to agree on peer-group internal rules of conduct to be strictly followed during the entire course.
Content scheduling
Lectures & peergroup weeks take turns during entire course - however, changes to this may occur due to overlapping of excursions, Tamk-activities or other curriculum reasons. In such cases teacher usually informs peergroups by email or other, jointly agreed manner.
Completion alternatives
Should the group noting be rejected (;note = "0"), the peer group can re-edit their written report twice. After third hand-over of the report the entire course will be considered as failed, after which the entire course is to be taken anewly. Missing, single attendances can be substituted by participating any other later remittance on the same course. Out of a special reason a single student can equiponderate mangel on performance with an assignment individually agreed with responsible teacher. Baseline is however (taking notice of the networking-, interaction- and organisation skills) that this course will be carried out in form of a peer group work ONLY - this is to be understood as an emphasis towards individual responsibility acting as a productive member of an peer group.
Practical training and working life cooperation
No practical training is foreseen, but it is preferred that participants actively promote during the entire course their connections and understanding to comply with course outline. All the co-operative measures towards industrial, economic and business life such as direct contacts, interviews, data collecting or own work life practices are considered as additional value for course accomplishing.
Industrial & business cases are usually used as example.
International connections
It is preferred, that participants actively promote during the entire course their international connections and networking. Additionally can be agreed on separate arrangement for students to acquire special knowledge or information recarding international activities.
Further information
Entire course is strictly focused on peer group working, with help of which the presented substance will be reflected towards peer-group chosen portfolio goal. Used pedagogy is processive learning. As active mind setting as possible, parallelly working as a group, is worthwhile - there is a strong correlation between better grading and intensive group work. All the group member will receive equal note of the course. Each group defines their working rules, which team members are obliged to follow the entire duration of the course. Additionally, each group is entitled to expell any fellow teammate that is not honouring jointly established rules.

The student can
• understand the basic concepts of electrical circuits and understand their origin
• use current-voltage equations of circuit components for analyzing electrical circuits and understand the principles of basic components
• systematically analyze electrical circuits.
In addition to analyzing skills, the student has a strong understanding that any circuit can be systematically solved by the Kirchhoff Voltage Law, Kirchhoff Power Law, and component current-voltage equations, and that the primary goal of various circuit resolution methods is merely to reduce the workload required for analysis.
Content (course unit)
Direct current circuits: options for connecting resistors, principles of circuit analysis, construction of different solution methods from Kirchhoff's laws.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)
The student is able to analyze simple DC circuits.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
The student has such a strong routine for analyzing DC circuits that the complexity of the task does not substantially complicate the task, but only increases the workload. The student has also developed a strong circuit reading skill, which is needed, for example, to simplify complex circuits.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)
The student knows the background of circuit analysis so well that he understands that different solution methods are just the application of the same rules in different ways. As a result, the student is able to solve any circuit by any method and is aware that the difference between the methods is ultimately only in the workload.

Objectives (course unit)
The students are able to write product definitions and apply their skills in technology in a project which combines several fields of technology. The students know methods for product definitions and idea creations and can use those to write a technical product definition.
Content (course unit)
A product project starts with initiating the project, where the students set the goals for the project, define the resources and the schedule. The results of the initiation phase are a literature review and a project plan. The literature review presents the existing solutions and implementations of the topic. The project plan lists milestones, their schedules and various resources required for different tasks. The group organises itself.
As working methods, the students read literature about project work, familiarise themselves with project software and any background information and literature of the topic of the project. The group meetings look at the results produced after the previous meetings and agree on further activities. Each member of the group knows what the others are doing and collaborative learning takes place in the sharing of results. The students continue their learning diaries as specified in the previous course.
Further information (course unit)
Completing the course requires the students to work hard and with discipline and take an active part in the different roles of group work.

Objectives (course unit)
The students learn the significance of testing and commissioning as parts of project implementation and customer delivery. The skills are closely connected to the technical practices of the students’ field of study. The aim is for the students to learn the significance of safety, compliance to demands and life-cycle thinking as parts of project delivery.
Content (course unit)
In the testing and commissioning phase the students test the product and the technology used in its production.
The most important topic of the course is to verify, using various methods, that the project outcome meets the demands set in the specifications reliably, safely and in a sustainable manner. The implementation of a project also includes any documentation, including also possible maintenance instructions and testing documentation.
The result is an operational product which meets the definitions.
