Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Have knowledge about fundamental thermal, fluid mechanical and electrical theories and methods and their application and limitations
  • Comprehend the function of the sub-components used
  • Have knowledge and experience within laboratory work with energy conversion systems
  • Comprehend scientific methods and theories in relation to the theme of the semester

Skills

  • Be able to explain simple technical energy conversion processes
  • Be able to apply theories and methods in the project work to model sub-components and/or the total energy conversion system
  • Be able to analyse results from simulations and laboratory work under the project theme

Competences

  • Have achieved an ability to translate academic knowledge and skills in basic thermal, fluid mechanical and electrical situations to a practical problem that can be processed and to which a solution can be found
  • Have achieved an ability to engage in disciplinary and interdisciplinary field of electrical, fluid mechanical and thermal engineering

Type of instruction

Problem based and project organised work in groups where the collaboration process to find the technical solutions focuses on an effective team collaboration with the ability to actively listen, give constructive feedback and motivation as well as responsibility for own learning. The project can be discipline-oriented, interdisciplinary or a part of a multidisciplinary project depending on project choice.

Extent and expected workload

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