Electrical Engineering and Data Networks (5 ECTS)

Learning outcomes

The student is familiar with the technology of electrical and data networks used in live performance arts. The student understands the safety risks associated with electricity, and can account for them appropriately. The student can apply this knowledge and these skills to live performance and theatre technology, including building typical data networks. The student knows the basics of wired and wireless signal transmission and understands the physical principles of electrical interference, and is able to consider its effects in live performance and theatre systems.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

No exam. Assessment is based on assignments and continuous assessment.

Student workload

Work required is heavily dependent on students earlier knowledge in the subject.

One credit is approximately 27 hours on students work. This course is 5 credits which means 135 hours of work in average.

Further information for students

The final submission date for the tasks is 15.12.2025. The partial completions of the course are valid for one year from the start of the course. Similarly, the final submission date for any separately agreed make-up tasks is one year from the start of the course.

Partial use of AI-based tools is possible. The instructions for using AI-based tools are task-specific.

Assessment methods and criteria

Assignments and continuous assessment.
