Programnamn
Study Programme in Energy Systems Engineering, Co-op
The course commences with an introduction on the topic of automation. This is so that you can quickly get a general outline of the subject and a better understanding of subsequent courses. Exciting project work is a part of many of the courses, which is a normal form of study both at the University and in working life in the future.
Possible changes in the courses may occur. If you are reading a course with a "Co-op" experience then the course is four years long. For further information see the course plan that describes your studies
Overview of the courses that make up the programme:
Year 1
|
Semester 1
|
Introduction to Energy Systems and Sustainable Energy Engineering 7.5 cr
Field Energy Systems
|
|
Semester 2
|
Building physics 7.5 cr
Field Energy Technology, Building Engineering
|
On completion of the course, the student should have advanced knowledge about and be able to explain heat and moisture transfer occurring in connection to buildings. The student should be able to calculate thermal and moisture-technnical states in building components and buildings, and quantitatively determine the effect and energy demands of these.
Year 2
|
Semester 1
|
Measurement techniques for energy systems 7.5 cr
Field Energy Systems
|
The course intends to provide the measurement-technical expertise required for a thorough mapping of the energy use and indoor climate of a building. An important part of the course consists of laboratory sessions intended to provide skills in applying different methods of measurement.
|
Semester 1
|
Mobility and Sustainable Transportation 7.5 cr
