Osaamistavoitteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

The student should be able to understand the ‘big picture’ in energy and climate; different techno-economic-social issues linked to energy, how to approach energy from different disciplines and how to apply your own discipline into energy problems. Learn that energy is more than just a technical solution and involves major economic and social dimensions as well.

Sisältö (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

The course discusses foundational elements and solutions for energy through combining science and engineering, economics and business, social sciences and human behavior. The links between these disciplines often define the complexity of energy. Applying multi-disciplinary thinking to real-life energy problems. Such dimensions are high-lighted through a range of examples and cases. The course has 4 learning elements: lectures, exercises, group work, and team study.
Lectures (subject to update):
1 Introduction to Energy and Multidisciplinary Thinking
2 Sustainable Energy
3 Energy, Resources and Markets
4 Energy, Models and Decision-Making
5 Energy Perspectives - Business Models and Value-based Performance
6 Information Technology and Energy (Green-ICT)
7 Energy Harvesting
3 group works on multidisciplinary energy aspects (in 2-4-person teams):
1 "Science and Technology" (Solar microgrids)
2 "Business and Economics" (Energy Frugality)
3 "Social Sciences and Human Behaviour" (Consumer Willingness to Pay for Climate Change)
Team study (in 2-4 person teams): Typical topics from the the past (subject to change)
1: Energy Resource Adequacy and Conflicts: Bioenergy and Biofuels
2: Reverse Innovation in Energy
3: Crowd-funding in Energy
4: Own topic (t.b.d)
