Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Identify circular economy concepts and the role of energy in recycling
- Recognize the material choice effect to degradation mechanisms of the system

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
At this course, the students learn the theoretical context of circular economy and how activity, durability and recyclability of an energy storage application will be effected by material selection. The students get to evaluate the whole life cycle of different solutions and their effect on recyclability. The students prepare different scenarios for future energy storage applications that will take into account circular economy aspects and designs for recycling.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Online modules, Personal assignments, project work
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
5 cr = 135 h
Including, online video + reading material, personal assignment preparation and group work.
Applies in this implementation:
The course has 4 separate modules, that are quite independent. They are each 4 weeks long. The whole course will last for 6 weeks + evaluation week.
