Energy Engineering - Focus area

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.
