Type of course

Theoretical subject. Cannot be taken as a single subject.

Course overlap

If you pass the examination in this course, you will get an reduction in credits (as stated below), if you previously have passed the following courses:

ELE-3605 Electrical Engineering Project 5 stp

Course content

The student will choose one of the presented design projects within electrical engineering. Relevant topics includes power electronics, energy conversion, control systems, automation and communication. All project proposals will include both a theoretical and a practical part. Lectures on design of printed circuit boards using OrCAD and a soldering course will be provided.
