specialisation in Thermal Energy and Process Engineering or
similar.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge and comprehension within the area of thermal
energy and process engineering at the highest international
level
- Be able to critically judge knowledge and identify new
scientific problems within the area of thermal energy and process
engineering
- Have knowledge about the implications within the research work
(research ethics)
Skills
- Be able to judge the usefulness of different scientific methods
and tools for analysis and problem solving within the field of
thermal energy and process engineering
- Be able to use advanced laboratory set-ups, data analysis
methods and analysis and modelling methods within the field of
thermal energy and process engineering
- Be able to communicate about scientific problems both to
specialists and the public
- Have obtained skills related to the industrial area within
thermal energy and process engineering
Competences
- Be able to control complex/unexpected working and development
situations within thermal energy and process engineering, and be
able to develop new solutions
- Be able to independently define and analyse scientific
problems, and based on that make and state the reasons for
decisions made
- Be able to independently continue own development in competence
and specialisation
- Be able to independently be the head of professional and
interdisciplinary development work and be able to undertake the
professional responsibility including reporting
Type of instruction
Problem based project oriented project work. The final project
may study new subjects or be an extension of the project work from
previous semesters. The subject matter will remain in the area of
thermal energy and process engineering. The project may be of
theoretical or experimental nature and will often be in
collaboration with an industrial company or other research
institution performing research in the area of thermal energy and
process engineering.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 30 ECTS project module, the work load is expected
to be 900 hours for the student
