Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The UE (Educational Unit) comprises two Apprenticeship Activities (AA) : -  The « Fluid Power Actuators » AA - The « Fluid actuators technology » AA 
 
The overall rating of the EU is the result of an integrated examination test on the two AA. This integrated examination test consists of 2 parts: - An oral part of theory, maximum 1h, 50% - a written part of exercises, maximum 1:30, 50% This integrated examination est held on a half-day during the session.
