Evaluation

Students can
- use professional vocabulary systematically
- look for information in the key information sources of the field
- identify interrelated tasks
- use the key models, methods, software and techniques of the professional field

In addition, competence evaluation according to STCW code table A-III/1 column 4 are used:
- construction and operating mechanisms can be understood and explained with drawings/instruction
- identification of important parameters for fabrication of typical ship-related components is appropriate
- use of equipment and hand tools, machine tools and measuring instruments is appropriate and safe
- safety procedures followed are appropriate
