About the course

Can be taken as a single subject.

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 involving laboratory work. Lectures on design of printed circuit boards and a soldering course will be provided if required.

Admission requirements

A relevant undergraduate Bachelor degree in Engineering program in power electronics and electrical machines. Basic knowledge in power systems is also an advantage.

In addition, the following requirements must be met:

- minimum 25 credits in mathematics (equivalent to Mathematical Methods 1, 2 og 3), 5 credits in statistics and 7,5 ects i physics on a higher level is required.

Application code: 9371

Objectives of the course

After completing the subject, the candidate will have the following learning outcome:

Knowledge:

  • The candidate will have knowledge about the working principle of the chosen project topic.
  • The candidate will be able to explain the relevant theory for the chosen project.
  • The candidate will know how to write a technical project report.
  • The candidate will have knowledge on running experiments and conducting measurements in a laboratory environment.

Skills:

  • The candidate will be able to mathematically describe the project case.
  • The candidate will be able to implement a simulation model of the project case.
  • The candidate will be able to build an experimental prototype setup for laboratory tests.
  • The candidate will be able to perform laboratory measurements, analysis and troubleshooting using scientific instruments.

General competence:

  • The candidate will be able to see general electrical engineering theory in a practical perspective.
  • The candidate will have a basic knowledge of scientific working methods.

More info about the assignment

The work on a chosen topic among the available choices can be performed in small groups or individually. The report should be written according to current scientific and technical standards.

More info about the practical exam

A individual practical exam will be arranged in a laboratory setting. The examination will be partly related to the project topic, and partly to perform general electrical engineering scientific laboratory work and measurements.

Re-sit examination

Students who do not pass the previous ordinary examination can gain access to a re-sit examination. A re-sit opportunity is offered on the practically exam only.
