Project-Oriented Study in an External Organisation
2024/2025
Content, progress and pedagogy of the module
The module is based on knowledge achieved when studying the previous semesters on the Master of Science in Energy Engineering, the Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Engineering, the Master of Science in Advance Power Electronics or similar.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about analytical, numerical and/or experimental methods for analysis of advanced tasks within the field of the external organisation
- Understand the connection between theory and practice
- Have knowledge about the organisational structure and the work of an organisation seen from an engineering/managerial perspective
Skills
- Be able to apply analytical, numerical and/or experimental methods for analysis and solving of advanced tasks within the field of the external organisation using digital platforms
- Be able to compare and evaluate assumptions, limitations and uncertainties related to the methods applied in connection to finding solutions of advanced challenges within the field of the external organisation
Competences
- Be able to handle development-oriented situations in connection to either studying or working
- Be able to use the correct terminology in oral, written or graphical communication and documentation of challenges and solutions within the field of the external organisation
- Be able to analyse the academic, professional and social benefits of the traineeship
- Be able to communicate these results in a project report
- Be able to evaluate the learning result of the traineeship
Type of instruction
The student works in a company providing experience in solving advanced and relevant engineering tasks on a level corresponding to the study programme’s 3rd semester and with a progression in the degree of difficulty of the tasks during the period. The type of work must allow for an academic report to be made. The student writes a project report within the theme of the third semester of the specialisation, cf. “Guidelines for Project Work in an External Organisation (Voluntary Traineeship)”.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 30 ECTS project module, the work load is expected to be 900 hours for the student.
