Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student qualification will be carried out using written test and oral questions concerning the topics developed during lectures.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
During the written test the student has to demonstrate his knowledge in using quantitative methods for designing a mechanical and indutrial plant. During the oral section the student has to show his skills in identifying the most important variables and equations in designing an industrial plants.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Final score will be assigned using 30 points

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
Coursework will be weighted as follows: final written exam (50%), oral examination (50%). It will not be possible to pass the exam if the final written exam has a negative mark.
