• know the quantities that describe pipe flow, such as flow rate, volume and mass flow, their units and the dependencies between the quantities, and you know how to model frictionless flow
• can calculate the thermal resistance of a simple structure, the heat transfer coefficient and the heat flow through a plane and cylinder surface
• know the effect of thermal insulation on electrical building technology

Content (course unit)

• Electric field, magnetic field
• Force in an electromagn field

• partially knows how to relate objects and phenomena related to the topic to technology and everyday applications
• knows the quantities related to the objects and phenomena of the subject area, the related units and the laws between the quantities only in familiar, exemplary situations.
• has a basic idea of the phenomena related to the subject area of insufficient qualitative level
• Recognizes the basic phenomena of physics appearing in problems related to the topic, the whole is partly unstructured and incomplete.

Assessment methods and criteria

Hyväksytyn arvosanan edellytykset:
- Säännöllinen opiskelu
- Kotitehtävien ja laskuharjoitustehtävien laskeminen ja osallistuminen loppukokeeseen
- Riittävän kurssipistemäärän kerääminen
Kurssipistesuoritukset

Toteutuksella noudatetaan yleisesti korkeakouluyhteisön ohjetta tekoälyn käytöstä.​
Toteutuksella opettaja voi antaa sekä sellaisia tehtäviä, joissa saa käyttää tai joissa ei saa käyttää generatiivista tekoälyä. ​
Mikäli opiskelija käyttää sallitusti oppimistehtävissään tekoälytyökalu(j)a apunaan, on hänen viitattava käyttämiinsä tekoälyihin ja toimitettava käyttämänsä syötteet (promptit) tehtävävastauksiensa yhteydessä.​

Mikäli opiskelija esittää tekoälyn tuottamat tulokset ominaan ilman viitteitä, lähteitä ja/tai syötteitä, opettaja voi olla hyväksymättä tuotosta tai vaatia sen tekemistä uudelleen.​
Opettajalla on oikeus kysyä opiskelijalta, onko hän mahdollisesti käyttänyt tekoälyä oppimistehtävässään.​
