Learning objectives and syllabus
Learning objectives:
- critically and creatively identify and/or formulate advanced architectural or engineering problems
- master problems with open solutions spaces which includes to be able to handle uncertainties and limited information.
- lead and participate in the development of new products, processes and systems using a holistic approach by following a design process and/or a systematic development process.
- work in multidisciplinary teams and collaborate in teams with different compositions
- show insights about cultural differences and to be able to work sensitively with them.
- show insights about and deal with the impact of architecture and/or engineering solutions in a global, economic, environment and societal context.
- identify ethical aspects and discuss and judge their consequences in relation to the specific problem
- orally and in writing explain and discuss information, problems, methods, design/development processes and solutions
- fulfill project specific learning outcomes
- Describe the fundamental thermodynamic and electrochemical process that underpin the mechanism through which batteries store energy.
- Describe battery materials from the molecular level to the battery pack level, with an in-depth theoretical understanding of materials, and practical ability to assemble and test battery materials, with competence gained in key battery terminology and testing
- best practice.
- Describe battery Management Systems, what happens to batteries after their useful life, and considerations needed for the practical application of battery systems.

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

- 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.
