Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to plan and independently carry out a major project work within a theme of relevance to efficient energy systems.
• be able to search, find and critically examine engineering/academic reports of relevance for the actual theme

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to orally and written present and defend the project report
• be able to critically examine other project reports and to defend the critics
• carry out a formal opposition on another student’s project report

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to actively participate in discussions on relevant themes
• be able to independently carry out analyses and to develop critical arguments over relevant problems

Contents

The study course will give knowledge about issues within the choosen theme, specific knowledge within the theme, as well as knowledge and practice in methods for oral and written presentation of engineering results. Methods for defence of a report and methods for doing a correct opposition on another student’s report.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The compulsory written project report is presented and discussed in compulsory seminars. Each seminar participant is expected to be prepared for active efforts but one of the participants is ordered the formal role as opponent. Teachers and student representatives form a grade-proposing group. Grades in the interval 2 (0,5) 6 are proposed for the project report, for the presentation/defense of the project report, and for the review (three grades). Final grades are decided by the examiner.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
