At the start of lp vt 1 working groups of about four students are formed. Every group chooses a project assignment. The groups are supervised by lecturers from the other ESS courses.

In the end of lp vt 1 the work groups have a project meeting with their supervisors, where the time scheduleĀ and block diagram are presented.

During lp vt 2 each group should meet their supervisor once a week. The group work will result in a written report and an oral presentation.

During lp vt 2 lectures and discussion seminars are held on subjects like global environmental issues, climate, natural resources, project management and report writing.
