Learning outcomes

The course learning outcomes, specific knowledge, skills and competences of an appropriate level, which the students will acquire with the successful completion of the course are described.

Consult Appendix A

·    Description of the level of learning outcomes for each qualifications cycle, according to the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area

·    Descriptors for Levels 6, 7 & 8 of the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning and Appendix B

·    Guidelines for writing Learning Outcomes

By the specific knowledge of this course, the student who will attend It, will be able to:

1.         Use the graphical language of drawing in order to communicate with other engineers, constructors and entrepreneurs.

2.         Understand and interpret electrical and mechanical drawings.

3.         Get acquainted in practice with the design of electrical installations and simple engineering constructions and equipment.

At the end of this course, the student who will attend It, will have further developed the following skills and competences:

1.         Check proper implementation of circuits, correct or modify existing circuits.

2.         Trace errors as early as in the study phase.

3.         Get acquainted with subjects connected with his study and the “language” of engineering drawing.

4.         Skills connected with the methodology of implementing studies, which are prerequisites for the development of the professional career of an engineer.

5.         Capability of cooperating with other scientists for the solution of interdisciplinary problems.

6.         Skills needed for completing studies for electrical installations and systems, which are reliable and safe for people and the environment.

Introduction to Computer Aided Design (CAD). Practice on orthogonal projection. Full section: definition and design. Complex sections. Introduction to electrical design. Lighting circuits. Simple electrical installations. One line diagrams for domestic electrical installation. Design of electrical service panels. Basic principles and design of automation circuits. The aim of this series of lectures and laboratorial exercises is to introduce students to technical drawing. The students also practice the application of fundamental drawing rules in Electrical and Mechanical drawing.  A widely-used Computer Aided Design (CAD) software is installed in the department’s main computer centre, where the exercises take place. Extra preparation material is published in the module’s eClass, containing notes and video-demos. Exercise 1: Introduction to Computer Aided Design (CAD) Exercise 2: Practice on orthogonal projection Exercise 3: Full section: definition and design Exercise 4: Complex sections Exercise 5: Introduction to electrical design Exercise 6:Lighting circuits Exercise 7: Simple electrical installations Exercise 8: One line diagrams for domestic electrical installation Exercise 9: Design of electrical service panels Exercise 10: Basic principles and design of automation circuits Exercise 11: Repetition of an exercise for students that missed no more than two exercises.

DELIVERY
Face-to-face, Distance learning, etc.

Face-to face.

USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY
Use of ICT in teaching, laboratory education, communication with students

All lectures include Powerpoint presentations. The laboratory exercises are taking place under a CAD platform and focus on realistic problems that an engineer may face, with respect to issues covered by the lectures. There is also study material in eClass and Video presentations of the theory and technicalities of drawing.

TEACHING METHODS

The manner and methods of teaching are described in detail.

Lectures, seminars, laboratory practice, fieldwork, study and analysis of bibliography, tutorials, placements, clinical practice, art workshop, interactive teaching, educational visits, project, essay writing, artistic creativity, etc.

The student's study hours for each learning activity are given as well as the hours of non-directed study according to the principles of the ECTS

STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Description of the evaluation procedure

Language of evaluation, methods of evaluation, summative or conclusive, multiple choice questionnaires, short-answer questions, open-ended questions, problem solving, written work, essay/report, oral examination, public presentation, laboratory work, clinical examination of patient, art interpretation, other

Specifically-defined evaluation criteria are given, and if and where they are accessible to students.

Greek language is used in the examination procedure. Examinations may be given in English in case of foreign students attended the course.

Assessment takes place with three means:

1)     Oral questions during laboratory exercises.

2)     Correction and assessment of written exercises submitted at the end of each laboratory exercise.

3)     Combinational exercises from the whole study material at the written exams at the end of the Semester.

Greek grading scale: 1 to 10. Minimum passing grade: 5.

Grades ≤ 3 correspond to ECTS grade F.

Grade 4 corresponds to ECTS grade FX.

For the passing grades, the following correspondence holds:

5 (or 5.5)↔E, 6 (or 6.5)↔D, 7 (or 7.5)↔C, 8 (or 8.5)↔B,
