module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge and comprehension within the area of electrical
power systems and high voltage engineering at the highest
international level
- Be able to critical judge knowledge and identify new scientific
problems within the area of electrical power systems and high
voltage engineering
- Have comprehension for 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
electrical power systems and high voltage engineering
- Be able to use advanced laboratory set-ups, data analysis
methods and analysis and modelling methods within the field of
electrical power systems and high voltage engineering
- Be able to communicate about scientific problems both to
specialists and the public
- Have obtained skills related to the industrial area within
electrical power systems and high voltage engineering
Competences
- Be able to control complex/unexpected working and development
situations within electrical power systems and high voltage
engineering, and be able to develop new solutions
- Independently be able to define and analyse scientific
problems, and based on that make and state the reasons for
decisions made
- Independently be able to continue own development in competence
and specialisation
- Independently be able to be the head of professional and
interdisciplinary development work and be able to undertake the
professional responsibility
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
electrical power systems and high voltage engineering. The project
may be of experimental nature, and will often be in collaboration
with an industrial company or other research institution performing
research in the area of electrical power systems and high voltage
engineering.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 50 ECTS project module, the work load is expected
to be 1500 hours for the student
