Learning outcomes for the course

The goal of the thesis work is for students to apply anddevelop in-depth knowledge about solar energy technology by conducting a work comprising 2. 5 months of full-time study that is research or industrial in 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 education
  • critically and systematically identify, integrate and use 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, justify the methodology chosen 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
  • reporton the thesis work in both oral and written form, and present conclusions that correspond to initial research questions and objectives in the thesis
