Education level First cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Industrial Work Environment Subject group (SCB) Work Science and Ergonomics Entry requirementsIn order to meet the general entry requirements for first cycle studies you must have successfully completed upper secondary education and documented skills in English language + Swedish upper secondary school courses Physics 2, Chemistry 1, Mathematics 4 (specifik entry A9). Or: Swedish upper secondary school courses Physics B, Chemistry A, Mathematics E (specifik entry 9) More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on final school grades or Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test.Course AimA student who has passed the course will master theories, methods and computer tools for 3D visualization supporting the three following stages in the development of production concepts. Explore: visualization as a tool in the exploration of alternative solutions. Explain: visualization as a tool for explanation of solutions. Express: visualization as a tool to achieve acceptance of design solutions. An eligible student should be able to use this knowledge to ensure a good user and client involvement in the design and development of production concepts. An eligible student must be able to: demonstrate knowledge and understanding of visualization of production concepts, explain how visualization can and should be used in this field analyze visualizations within the area, perform a visualization using computer tools, use of a reflective and critical approach to the different ways of using visualization, self-critically reflect on and justify intramural visualization task. Contents Theories of visualization Presentation theory, picture and sound theory, perception theory Applications of visualizing Technologies and tools for visualization Programs suitable for modeling Text, lighting and sound Theory and practice of production layout design Simplified systematic layout planning based on proximity needs Practical recommendations for the design of factory layouts Application of visualization Visualization of a production concept (a fictional work ) Research in production visualization Literature review of relevant research papers RealizationThe course begins with lectures on theories that can be applied to visualization, after which current computer tools and technologies are introduced. Thereafter students must undertake an investigation and reporting of the present research front for production visualization. The results are presented as a written background in a fictive research application or a research outline application. This is followed by supervised exercises in three application areas; explore, explain, express. After the exercises the students solve tasks in each area, guided by teachers who give constructive feedback. Once this is completed the students start an individual project with production visualization of a fictitious industrial production environment that they model. A factory layout should be designed according to layout theories and practices. In this work teachers offer guidance tailored to current individual needs LecturesExaminationStudents are assessed through critical examination of their solutions of the following assignments and through supervision during the project work. Literature review of theoretical research, presented in a written Assignments in the areas explore, explain, express Individual project, visual and oral final presentation RemarksStudents must register for the courses themselves, or contact ETS educational administration eduets@ltu.se, not later than three days after the quarter commences. Failure to do so can result in the place being lost. This rule also applies to students with a guaranteed place.ExaminerMagnus StenbergLiterature.
