Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about how offshore surroundings and
other processes affect the properties of materials
- Have knowledge and understanding within loads from waves,
currents and wind
- Have knowledge and understanding within modelling of loads from
waves, currents and wind
- Have understanding of various types of actuation, including
electrical and hydraulic actuation systems
- Have understanding of the modelling, and its necessity, of
hydraulic systems
- Have understanding of methods and choices of hydraulic
actuators, sensors, technologies and interfacing between
technologies

- Be able to calculate design loads due to waves, currents and
wind compared to existing standards
- Be able to calculate forces on subjects exposed to wave, power
and wind loads
- Be able to model and analyse hydraulic systems
- Be able to assess the suitability of different technologies for
a given application
- Be able to apply ideas, principles and methods for selecting
and interfacing sensors and actuators
Competences
- Be able to handle developments in connection with offshore
technology and hydraulic systems
- Participate independently in professional and interdisciplinary
cooperation with a professional approach in offshore engineering
and hydraulics
- Identify own learning needs and structure own learning in
offshore engineering and hydraulics
Type of instruction
The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem
oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on
the following types of instruction that combine skills and
re-flection:
- lectures
- class teaching
- project work
- workshops
- exercises (individually and in groups)
- teacher feedback
- professional reflection
- portfolio work
- laboratory work
Teachin is in English and/or Danish depending on the
participation of international students, or if the supervisor is of
foreign origin.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 5 ECTS course, the work load is expected to be 150
hours for the student.
