Lectures|Laboratory work|Compulsory assignments

Supplementary information:
- The course requires that the software SolidWorks 2017 is used for exercises and assignments (free student version available).
- NTNU has limited availability on PCs, so use of own laptop is required (the machine must be suitable for CAD).

Compulsory Requirements:
- There will be up to 3 compulsory seminar days according to plan distributed at the beginning of the semester.
- 2 major assignments must be delivered according to plan and approved in order to take the final assignment.
- Compulsory laboratory work may be part of the assignments.
