Project Course Advanced - Technology for Sustainable Development

Aim

The course aims to give knowledge and understanding concerning setup, planning, implementation and presentation regarding project work within the areas energy, materials science, thermodynamics and/or heat transfer.

• Identify, choose and apply relevant theoretical areas for a situation specific problem.
• Plan and realize an industrial and/or research related project within the area.
• Systematically integrate the knowledge acquired during their studies to run a project within the area.
• Utilize method and subject specific knowledge within the area of engineering materials.
• Analyze and evaluate technical solutions.
• Assimilate the contents of relevant literature and relate their work to it.

Content

The focus of the project within this course is on the technology that shall contribute to sustainable development. The project work can contain a combination of problem analyses within the areas of materials science, thermodynamics and heat transfer and more advanced calculations of thermodynamic and energy relations. The project can be performed in close collaboration with industry, other local actor or be a part of an ongoing research project within the divisions of Engineering materials or Applied thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The work is presented in a written report and orally on a seminar. Part of the course is also to perform a written and oral opposition on another project group.
