Electrical and Automation Engineering: Electrical and Automation Engineering
Code: TXJ23K1
Descriptions
The learner’s track curriculum in Electrical Engineering and Automation Technology consists mainly of 15 ECTS study modules, which are all organized within one study period of 10 weeks. The study modules are the following:
• compulsory studies of the first year (four courses) 60 ECTS
• second year compulsory studies of the major (four study modules) 60 ECTS
• two elective study modules of the major 30 ECTS
• two totally elective study modules 30 ECTS
• innovation project and the studies of the second national language 15 ECTS
• two internship periods 30 ECTS
• bachelor thesis 15 ECTS
ALTOGETHER 240 ECTS
The studies of the first year of study are compulsory and common to all the students in the degree programme. The major (specialization) is selected at the end of the first year of study. There is four options: automation technology, electronics and electrical power engineering. The studies of the second year of study are compulsory and common to all the students within the major.
During the last two years of study the students have to complete two elective study modules of the major and two totally elective study modules, the innovation project and one course of their second national language. The students have to complete as well two internship periods of 10 weeks and finally carry out a bachelor thesis on a topic related to their major.
The learner’s track of the students selecting electronics as their major is merged to the learner’s track of the students studying in the Degree Programme in Electronics (tuition in English) and therefore their studies in electronics after the first year of study will be in English. Alternatively those students may select all (or some) of their study modules related to medical engineering (in Finnish).
The students may relatively freely plan the timing of their studies of the third and fourth year based on the timing of the elective modules etc. The innovation project and the possible course of the second national language are usually completed during the third year of study. The internship periods may be carried out during the study periods of the third or fourth year or alternatively during the summer periods between the semesters.
