Tavoitteet (OJ)

Student:
- Can write and use equations, units, and multiple units for calculations and for presenting results
- Can assess the validity of the results and knows the correct order of different quantities
- Can present a numeric result in proper accuracy
- Knows how to function as a member of a group and takes responsibility for the success of the group

- Solves practical problems from technology and everyday life

Sisältö (OJ)

Course consist of measurement and modelling exercises done in small groups, and students will study creating simple algorithms and functions. Studied topics are:
- Mechanics: quantities and units, linear and constrained motion, rotary motion
- Thermal physics: quantities and units, thermal energy and power, heat transfer, fluid mechanics
- Air humidity: relative and absolute humidity
- Mechanical oscillations and waves: natural frequencies of different systems and structures, resonance
- Sound: logarithmic scale, level quantities (dB), noise spectrum

Arviointikriteerit, tyydyttävä (1-2) (OJ)

Student actively participates in learning and solving given assignments. Student can use quantities and equations to solve given problems with the help from the group. Student needs a lot of support to finish the computer aided problems.

Arviointikriteerit, hyvä (3-4) (OJ)

Student actively participates in learning and solving given assignments and helps the rest of the group to solve exercises. Student needs very little help with computer aided problems.

Arviointikriteerit, kiitettävä (5) (OJ)

Student is involved in examining topics. Student can come up with their own solution methods to given problems.

Tenttien ja uusintatenttien ajankohdat

Assessment is continuous and it is based on the points collected from measurement assignments (8 x 5 p) and topic tests (8 x 5 p). However, the maximum points are 60 p. This means that students can choose which 12 of the 16 assessed tasks to do. If s student does all 16 tasks, then the points of 12 best assignments are taken into account. There are NO RETAKES of measurement tasks or topic tests - the extra 4 act as a backup for absences.
The dates:
Measurement assignments:
4.9.2023 (kinematics)
18.9.2023 (work, energy, power)
2.10.2023 (rotational motion, torque, moment of inertia)
23.10. 2023 (heat, heat capacity)
6.11.2023 (fluid flow, viscosity)
27.11.2023 (mechanical oscillations)
11.12.2023 (sound pressure level)
before 15.12.2023 (own measurement)

The final DL for all topic tests is 15.12.2023


There are also two retake exams of the whole course. They are own separate exams in which the points of measurement assignments or topic tests are not taken into account. The retakes will be on January 2024. Dates will be discussed with the students.
