Aim

This course aims to provide the students knowledge to formulate, perform and report a project on an Energy Technology issue. The students should achieve skills in applying the knowledge from previous energy related courses on a relevant problem

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to describe the relevance of the chosen problem
• be able to explain the basic concepts and important parameters of the problem
• be able to perform advanced analysis and synthesis of an energy related problem
• be able to describe the chosen method of analysis and explain its reliability
• be able to understand when analytical and empirical methods are applicable

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to actively participate in discussions and negotiations concerning the chosen subject
• be able to in oral and written ways present the performed task and the results of the project
• critically review selected methods and results of energy engineering analyses

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to analyse an energy relevant problem and suggest a method for analysis
• be able to judge the reliability in the approach and the assumptions made
• be able to critically examine the chosen methods and results of analyses of energy technology problems

Contents

A practical/experimental or theoretical/numerical/analytical study within a subject the student likes to achieve a deeper knowledge. The course might be a pre-study for a Master of Science thesis or a deeper study related to a regular course or a Master thesis.
