Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module is based on knowledge achieved in the project module Automation including power electronics or similar.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about control of industrial electronic applications in forms of apparatus or systems including power electronics, electric drives or motion controls for applications such as robotic systems, electric propulsion systems, electric and autonomous vehicles, etc.
• Have development-based knowledge and understanding within the profession and the discipline’s practice and applied theories and methods
• Be able to understand scientific methods and theories compared to the semester theme and be able to see the project in a larger context

Skills

• Be able to apply knowledge about designing power electronics system, electrical drive and/or motion control for applications such as robotic systems, electric propulsion systems, electric and autonomous vehicles, etc. using digital platforms
• Be able to apply the discipline’s methods and tools and master the skills associated with employment in the profession
• Be able to assess practical and theoretical issues and the reasons for and select the options
• Be able to present practical and professional issues and solutions to partners and user
• Be able to analyse results from simulations and laboratory work or real measured data series, and assemble them to give an overall impression of the system's performance

Competences

• Have the ability to provide robust time and work plans for own project.
• Be able to handle complex and development-oriented situations in study or work contexts within electrical machine and power electronics and/or motion controls for applications such as robotic systems, electric propulsion systems, electric and autonomous vehicles etc
• Have the ability to enter into professional and interdisciplinary collaboration with a professional approach in the field as electrical machine and drives and power electronic engineering and/or motion controls for applications such as robotic systems, electric propulsion systems, electric and autonomous vehicles etc
• Be able to identify own learning needs and structure learning in different environments in industrial electronics
• Be able to translate academic knowledge and skills in the field of industrial electronics including electrical machines, power electronic and/or motion controls for applications such as robotic systems, electric propulsion systems, electric and autonomous vehicles etc to a practical problem

Type of instruction

Problem based and project organised work in project groups focused on self-critical reflection and proactive participation. The project may be discipline-oriented, interdisciplinary or part of a multidisciplinary project depending on project choice.

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 15 ECTS project module, the work load is expected to be 450 hours for the student.
