Contents

Each student group works on an energy project (RE,EE), which engages them in solving a real-world problem, testing new concepts, and answering challenging questions. Students demonstrate their knowledge and skills by written reports and oral presentations.
The projects are commissioned from the working life to the study program. Due to this, the assigned projects vary and they might exist in different phases, e.g. being in idea generation and targeting to the project plan format or being in testing phase and targeting to the feedback type and further development suggestions.
As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills in the context of doing an authentic, meaningful project.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.
