Goal

• Expansion and deepening of knowledge in the field of occupational safety and electrical safety in the operation of industrial electrical installations.

Objective

• Study of the device of electrical installations and electrical equipment, the main provisions of labor protection in industrial production at the use of electrical installations, the influence of electric current on a person; the formation of skills and abilities to ensure safe human activity in industrial production. The subject of the discipline is the following objects:production and transmission of electric energy;the main types of industrial electrical installations; safety of industrial activities;the effect of electric current on the human body;dangerous and harmful factors;protection measures against dangerous and harmful factors;the impact of energy on the biosphere

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• Theoretical foundations of technical and organizational measures of electrical safety aimed at reducing or eliminating the impact of hazardous factors of electrical equipment; Practical application of technical means from the impact or manifestation of an electrical source.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• Conducting an assessment of the level of electrical safety of the means used, devices for working on production equipment; - The practice of identifying the causes of electrical injury and predicting the level of safety during the operation of production equipment; - selection of modes and functional protective systems and devices of production equipment; -develop technical solutions and measures to ensure electrical safety of production processes

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• Implementation of regulatory-technical and regulatory-environmental documentation related to the electrical safety of life and environmental protection - to have an idea of the problems of electrical injury-rational methods of Electrical Safety

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• To professionally carry out its production and public activities in the required amount of professional competencies; - to participate in the development and implementation of methods and programs in the field of electrical safety of the production environment, prevention of emergency or emergency situations

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Improvement of knowledge in the methodology of development and design of circuits, devices, apparatuses and systems used for electrical safety and protection of the industrial environment; - tendency to training in improving knowledge in the field of advanced scientific methods of knowledge and their use at the level necessary for the operational solution of electrical safety problems of the industrial environment

Teaching methods

Contextual learning technology-training in the context of a profession (implemented in training tasks that take into account the specifics of the direction and profile of training). Interactive learning technology (implemented in the form of educational tasks that involve the interaction of students, the use of active forms of feedback). E-learning technology (implemented using the resources of the Electronic Library system, using the electronic educational environment of EKSTU when conducting automated testing).

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
