Competence aims and assessment
Competence aims after energy and management systems
The pupil is expected to be able to
- plan, execute, assess and document work assignments related to energy control systems, individually and in cooperation with others and ground their choices
- programme and put into operation systems to control rotational direction and engine speed, explain the principal behaviour of motor control systems, and discuss power loss
- assemble, programme and put into operation a demand-driven system for lighting, heating and various power outlets, and discuss energy saving in relation to the chosen control system
- use the correct hand tools and machines to produce metal parts and other materials based on blueprints
- assemble and put into operation a small system for producing and storing renewable energy, including rectifiers and inverters, and explain the conversion of DC voltage into AC voltage
- assemble and put into operation control systems that use movement, pressure and temperature measurements as input data
- assemble a small distribution system with the associated earthing system and describe the principal construction of TN, IT and TT networks
- choose suitable leads, cables and guards, calculate and assess voltage drops, and document protection against overloading and electric shocks
- identify the components in an air handling and heat pump system, explain how the main components work and measure CO2 and temperature
- carry out risk assessments and work in compliance with electrical safety routines, machine safety routines, and health, safety and environment routines
- carry out lifesaving first aid
- use documentation and appropriate instruments to troubleshoot electrical installations
- work professionally on energy control systems in accordance with regulations, assembly and installation instructions, and use appropriate hand tools and machines
- calculate electricity, voltage, resistance, impedance and power in DC voltage and AC voltage circuits, and use appropriate instruments to measure and assess the measured result against the expected result
- explain various types of production, storage and transmission of electric power and reflect on and discuss the potential impact of these on climate and environment
- explain and assess how social partners cooperate to develop a better workplace
- use and handle materials and equipment in energy control systems in a responsible and sustainable manner in accordance with applicable internal control systems
Formative assessment
The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in energy control systems when they use knowledge, skills and critical thinking to solve assignments in the programme subject.
The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through a variety of assignments. The teacher can give assignments that cover multiple or all the programme subjects. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development within energy control systems. The pupils shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and reflect on their own academic development. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in the programme subject.
Assessment of coursework
The grades awarded for coursework reflect the overall competence of the pupil in energy control systems at the end of the education in the programme subject. The teacher plans and facilitates the pupils in demonstrating their competence in various ways. Using the competence aims as a starting point, the teacher shall assess how the pupil demonstrates understanding, reflection and critical thinking, and how the pupil masters challenges and solves assignments in various contexts. The teacher awards grades in energy control systems based on the competence the pupil has demonstrated by planning, completing, assessing and documenting their own academic work
