Explanation

1. Calculation of the final mark

The final mark of this course is calculated based on the published component marks with the following weighting factors

• Lectures: 40%
• Robotics in Manufacturing Experience: 25%
• Computer-Aided Manufacturing: Experience: 25%
• Simulation of Industrial Environments: Experience: 10%

The only exception to this rule is described in the complementary regulation of the Faculty of Engineering Technology to article 66 in the Regulations on Education and Examinations.

2. Calculation of the published component marks

The component mark for ‘lectures’ is a whole number between 0 and 20. It is an evaluation of the student’s performance based on the following weighted marks:

• Exam during examination period: 100%

The component mark for ‘’Robotics in Manufacturing Experience" is a whole number between 0 and 20. It is an evaluation of the student’s performance based on the following weighted marks:

• Permanent evaluation: 20%
• Solution to a robot station task (simulation + robot control): 40%
• An individual test (questions about robot programming in general + simulation exercise): 40% 

The component mark for ‘"Computer-Aided Manufacturing: Experience" is a whole number between 0 and 20. It is an evaluation of the student’s performance based on the following weighted marks:
        -Permanent evaluation during sessions: 20% (more than one unauthorized absence leads to NA for the OLA) 
        -Solution of the CAM program: 30%
        -Individual test: 50%

 The component mark for ‘’Simulation of Industrial Environments: Experience" is a whole number between 0 and 20. It is an evaluation of the student’s performance based on the following weighted marks:

• 100% on report at the end of the sessions if less then 2 unauthorized absences.
• When report submitted and more than 1 unauthorized absence then 50% on the report and 50% on the work during the sessions

3. Absences

• Unauthorized absence during the exam leads to NA as a component mark for the lectures OLA.
• Unauthorized absence during one or more tests leads to 0 for these tests for the OLA.
• Unauthorized absence during one or more lab sessions leads to NA as a component mark for the lab sessions for "Computer-Aided Manufacturing: Experience" and ‘"Computer-Aided Manufacturing: Experience"
• More than 1 unautorized absence and no submission of a report leads to NA as a component mark for the lab sessions for ‘’Simulation of Industrial Environments: Experience"

For absences during the teaching weeks, please contact the education ombuds on the first day of your absence. If you missed one or more obligatory sessions, please contact your professor as soon as possible and certainly within a week. For absenc es within the exam period, please contact the exam ombuds on the first day of your absense.

4. Partial transfers 

Component marks of at least 10/20 published in the academic progress file are transferred to the next examination period within the same academic year and to the following academic years, except for temporary marks and marks for intermittent tests.

When needed, additional information on the evaluation activities is provided during the lessons and/or made available on the toledo pages of the course.

If the university decides that it is confronted with situations of general force majeure or situations where the safety and health of members of the academic community of KU Leuven may be endangered and changes to the teaching and evaluation activities occur as a result, these changes will be communicated via Toledo.

Information about retaking exams

This course unit allows partial mark transfers in case of partial pass mark:

• H04W8a - Computer Integrated Production: Lecture (during and beyond academic year)
• 42AMPl - Robotics in Manufacturing: Experience (during and beyond academic year)
• 42lCAM - Computer-Aided Manufacturing: Experience (during and beyond academic year)
• 42lSIE - Simulation of Industrial Environments: Experience (during and beyond academic year)

The evaluation characteristics and/or the computation of the final mark in the second exam period differs from that in the first exam period:

• All scores for permanent evaluation are retained in the different OLA's
• For Computer-Aided Manufacturing: Experience: The "skills test" can be redone , according to the same procedures, only if all the labs, and with sufficient commitment, were followed during the academic year
