The goal of the thesis work is for students to apply and develop in-depth knowledge of solar energy technology by conducting a work comprising five months of fulltime study of a research or industrial nature. The student should acquire a deeper methodological knowledge of the subject. More specifically, the student will be able to:
show substantially more in-depth knowledge and understanding of current research and development in one or more of the following areas: technologies and systems for solar heating or solar electricity; solar energy technologies that are integrated into buildings for lower and more efficient energy use; measurement or calculation of insolation
identify his/her need of further knowledge and take responsibility for his/her knowledge development
critically and systematically identify, integrate and apply this knowledge of solar technology for the planning, execution and reporting of the thesis work
contribute to the development of knowledge in the chosen field of thesis work
critically, independently and creatively identify and formulate qualified questions and goals with clear limitations in the thesis work
choose appropriate methods, and give reason for the choice of methodology and explain its strengths and weaknesses
work with reliability in empirical data or computations
critically and systematically analyze and evaluate the results obtained in the thesis work
complete the work within specified timeframes
report in both oral and written form the thesis work, and present conclusions that correspond to initial research questions and objectives in the thesis
Bachelor degree of 180 HEC and at least 60 HEC of the courses of the Master Programme in Solar Energy Engineering as well as the course Scientific Communication and Information Retrieval or equivalent have to be passed.
