...along with their contact details. If the course have external guest lecturers or such, give a brief description of their role and the company or similar they represent.

If needed, list administrative staff, along with their contact details.

Course purpose

Short description of the course purpose and content: can be copied from syllabus in Studieportalen. Additional information can be added.

Schedule

TimeEdit

Course literature

List all mandatory literature, including descriptions of how to access the texts (e.g. Cremona, Chalmers Library, links).

Also list reference literature, further reading, and other non-mandatory texts.

Course design

Description of the course's learning activities; how they are implemented and how they are connected. This is the student's guide to navigating the course. Do not forget to give the student advice on how to learn as much as possible based on the pedagogy you have chosen. Often, you may need to emphasize concrete things like how often they should enter the learning space on the learning platform, how different issues are shared between supervisors, etc.

Provide a plan for

  • lectures
  • exervises
  • laboratory work
  • projects
  • supervision
  • feedback
  • seminars

Should contain a description of how the digital tools (Canvas and others) should be used and how they are organized, as well as how communication between teachers and students takes place (Canvas, e-mail, other).

Do not forget to describe any resources that students need to use, such as lab equipment, studios, workshops, physical or digital materials.

You should be clear how missed deadlines and revisions are handled.

Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

  • Describe the parts in  Li-Ion Battery, materials and functionalities
  • Make calculations of capacity and energy efficiency of a LiB.
  • Use key equations for the physical modelling of a LiB
  • Perform EIS sweeps and capacity determinations
  • Make EECM (Equivalent electrical circuit models) of LiB EIS sweeps, with various complexities such as ZARC, and E-R-RC*n links
  • Interpret EECM of lower complexity into physical foundations in LiB
  • Describe a BMS and present its needed functionalities
  • Present important safety aspects of a LiB
  • Build a coin-cell provided that the needed equipment is at hand under guidance
  • Analyze a battery model using Comsol
  • Set up a test description for performing an ageing test of a LiB
  • Describe key ageing factors in LiB and be able to perform basic approximate ageing calculations
  • Give examples how batteries can be design to lower negative environmental impact.
  • Describe how battery systems can be designed for different applications
  • Perform thermal calculations on a LiB cell and system
  • Perform energy and power calculations on supercapacitors as well as describe to key parts of a supercapacitor

Study plan

If the course is a joint course (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet) you should link to both syllabus (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet).

Examination form

Description of how the examination – written examinations and other – is executed and assessed.

Include:

  • what components are included, the purpose of these, and how they contribute to the learning objectives
  • how compulsory and/or voluntary components contribute to the final grade
  • grading limits and any other requirements for all forms of examination in order to pass the course (compulsory components)
  • examination form, e.g. if the examination is conducted as a digital examination
  • time and place of examination, both written exams and other exams such as project presentations
  • aids permitted during examinations, as well as which markings, indexes and notes in aids are permitted

Do not forget to be extra clear with project assignments; what is the problem, what should be done, what is the expected result, and how should this result be reported. Details such as templates for project reports, what happens at missed deadlines etc. are extra important to include.
