Energy Engineering - Specialization

The following study plan assumes start of study in September, such that 1. semester is fall, 2. semester is spring, 3. semester is fall and the thesis work is carried out in spring. It includes only one spring semester of courses.

The study plan is not mandatory but is a recommended study plan that fulfills the requirements. All other study plans also have to fulfill the requirements, including maximum 2 years of study for obtaining 120 ECTS.

Focus is on energy conversion in power plants, cooling systems and heat pumps, combustion engines, fuel cells, and industrial installations as well as analysis, numerical simulation, and optimization of systems in which these machines and installations form part. The discipline is based on thermodynamics, including heat transfer, combustion processes, and material properties, as well as elements from fluid dynamics.

Energy Engineering

Focus is on energy conversion in power plants, cooling systems and heat pumps, engines, fuel cells, industrial plants and analysis, numerical simulation, and optimization of systems based on these machines and plants. The discipline is based on thermodynamics, including heat transfer, combustion processes, properties of fluids and solids, as well as parts of fluid dynamics.

The list below includes elective courses recommended for the Engineering Design and Product Development specialization. The courses are not required to be taken to obtain the specialization.

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
