About the course.

In the course the student learns the electrical engineering needed in the role of medical technician. The course will provide sufficient knowledge to measure voltage, current, resistance and power and to carry out basic troubleshooting in electrics and electronics, as well as diagram reading, troubleshooting and assembly in electrical engineering. The course covers electrical engineering, computer engineering and operation and maintenance technology. The course also includes exercises in planning and carrying out work in automated processes using system documentation, for example drawings and manuals. The course will also provide sufficient knowledge to understand safety, standards and concepts and to apply them in the future role of medical technician. The course will provide such knowledge that after completing the course the student can independently prevent and remedy faults in automated processes and plan and safely carry out work on electronic circuits. The course includes practical exercises and lab work.
