Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The module is based on knowledge achieved in the project module
Energy Systems of the Future or similar.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have the knowledge and understanding to develop an energy
technology product, a machine and/or some components
- Have knowledge and understanding of their functional principles
and their use
- Have knowledge of how to draw up requirements and
specifications for a product
- Be able to understand basic principles in mechanics,
thermodynamics and energy conversion and storage
- Be able to understand basic principles of syntax of common
programming languages
Skills
- Be able to select, describe and apply relevant technical,
scientific and contextual models, theories and methods for
analysis, processing and problem solving of the chosen energy
engineering issue
- Be able to process the chosen energy engineering problem with
the inclusion of relevant contexts and/or perspectives, including
ethical ones
- Be able to make a critical assessment of the relevance of the
acquired knowledge in relation to the project work, including
assessing the suitability of the chosen models, theories and/or
methods
- Be able to carry out a methodical and consistent assessment for
an energy technology product, technically as well as socially
- Be able to set up simulation models for selected parts of the
product
- Be able to carry out practical tests of the product in the
laboratory or process relevant data from other experimental
work
- Be able to analyse the obtained or used data and compare them
with simulated values
- Be able to analyse and develop technical solutions from a
sustainability perspective
Competences
- Be able to plan, manage and perspective a project work,
including overseeing meeting planning and delegation
- Be able to make a systematic choice of methods for knowledge
acquisition in connection with problem analysis and problem
processing of an energy engineering problem
Type of instruction
Problem-based and project-organised work in groups.
The project may be discipline-oriented, interdisciplinary or
part of a multidisciplinary project depending on project
choice.
Documentation of applied data must be attached to the P2 report
in the form of well-structured and methodical records. The project
work is documented in a P2 project report and participation in a
presentation seminar.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 15 ECTS project work, the work load is expected to
be 450 hours for the student.
