| COURSE DESCRIPTION |
Course objectives |
To familiarize students with the basic principles of electrodeposition.
Introduce students with the practical problems and applications of electrodeposition.
Acquisition of basic theoretical and practical knowledge which are necessary for work in electroplating facilities. |
Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course |
Enrolled in or passed the course Exercises in Electrodeposition
The condition for taking the exam: Completed the course ”Exercises in Electrodeposition” |
Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes) |
After successfully passing the exam, students will be able to:
1. Select the most appropriate metal coating for the corresponding metal surfaces.
2. Distinguish all process parameters that affect the quality of metal coatings.
3. Independently run or monitor the electroplating process.
4. Identify the causes of the occurrence of errors on the coating and find appropriate solutions. |

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
A student can pass a part or the entire exam by taking two partial tests during the semester. Students who do not pass the partial exams have to take an exam in the regular examination term. During the examination terms students take written and oral exam.
Scoring: <55% insufficient;55-66% sufficient (2); 67-78% good (3); 79-90% very good (4); 91-100% excellent (5) |
