CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    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 for whole curriculum period:

    Online modules, Personal assignments, project work

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    5 cr = 135 h

    Including, online video + reading material, personal assignment preparation and group work.
