The module is aimed at bachelors in technology management (maskinmestre) and engineers employed in the energy sector, either in a company or an authority working with thermal or chemical energy.

Your job functions could include jobs such as process engineer, project manager, or similar positions.

Participation in the module requires competences equivalent to a professional bachelor degree in the technical field, and it is possible to participate without prior knowledge of thermal system modelling. The module provides competences in the field at the highest international level.

Knowledge

• Have an understanding of fundamental thermodynamics in the form of energy, mass, and angular momentum conservation applied in modern modelling of thermal energy systems, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics
• Have knowledge about the advanced tools and methods used in thermal system modelling

Skills

• Be able to describe and design thermal systems using modern methods and tools
• Be able to define parameters involved in steady-state thermal system modelling, in both full-load and partial-load situations

Competences

• Be able to build models and use them to simulate and conduct parameter studies on fundamental thermal systems

The module is affiliated with the section of thermal energy engineering at Aalborg University, Department of Energy, and will be taught by world-leading researchers and lecturers in the field.

It is expected that the module will be taught via physical teaching, but online or hybrid teaching will also be used to the extent relevant. 

The module is assessed by an internal written or oral examination.

To be announced 

Pontoppidanstræde 105-111
9220 Aalborg

The module assumes a background in engineering at at least Bachelor of Science or professional bachelor degree level, e.g. bachelor of technology (maskinmesteruddannelsen), followed by at least two years of relevant work experience.
