Program Overview

Introduction to the University Program

The university program in question is the Master of Science in Energy Engineering, with a focus on Fluid Mechanical Analysis Methods. This program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis methodologies for fluid flow.

Program Details

Learning Objectives

The program aims to equip students with the following knowledge, skills, and competences:

• Knowledge and comprehension of analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis methodologies for fluid flow.
• Knowledge and comprehension of the flow around or within simplified components.
• Ability to verify analytical and numerical approaches by means of simple laboratory experiments.
• Ability to document project work as a scientific paper and poster and make an oral presentation.
• Ability to control the working and development process within the project theme and develop new solutions within fluid mechanical analysis methods.
• Ability to define and analyze scientific problems within the area of fluid mechanical methods and make informed decisions.

Type of Instruction

The program utilizes problem-based project organized project work in groups. The project can be a disciplinary project, a cross-disciplinary project, or a part of a multi-disciplinary project. Students will investigate a simple fluid flow problem using analytical, numerical, and experimental methods, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, which will be verified by laboratory experiments.

Extent and Expected Workload

The program is a 15 ECTS project module, with an expected workload of 450 hours for the student.

Exam and Assessment

Prerequisite for Enrollment

Students with a bachelor's degree from AAU must participate in the Conference for MSc Energy Students (CES), where they will present a scientific paper and a poster.

Exam Format

The exam will be an oral exam based on a project, assessed on a 7-point grading scale. The criteria of assessment are stated in the Examination Policies and Procedures.

Additional Information

Project Documentation

The project should be documented in a scientific way, including a summary report, a paper, and a poster. The paper and poster must be presented at a conference arranged within the Department of Energy Technology.

Project Summary Report

The project summary report should elaborate on the project details and conclusions, with a maximum length of 50 pages (excluding appendices).

Conference Participation

All group members must attend the conference and the poster session to be allowed to participate in the project examination.
