Scientific work:            The student, 1-2 person, choose an interesting subject within Sustainable Power Production and Transportation subject, read some scientific papers and write a small report, 5-10 pages. Present the work, 5 minutes, at a seminar at the end of the course (estimated working time 30 hours). Chosen subject should be reported to Ola Carlson before 12 Sept. The final report should be sent to Ola before 20 of October.

                                      The report should include judgements that include reflecting on scientific, societal and ethical responsibilities and discuss awareness of ethical aspects on research and development work, also discuss
the possibilities and limitations of technology, its role in society and the responsibility of humans for its use, including, social, economic as well as environmental and occupational health aspects.

                                      The work will be evaluated and give extra points that can increase you grade, special attention is the quality of content with your own text, figures and conclutions. See table below. Extra points to the exam, between 0-7.

7. Plan and physically arrange a test set-up in a safe way as well as minimize and assess risks with respect to personal safety and integrity within the electric power engineering area for wind generatiors and solarcells
8. Evaluate performed tests, make necessary corrections due to external influences (e.g. atmospheric conditions) and estimate confidence in obtained results
9. Take part in the national and international discussion on various subjects in sustainable power production and transportation by reading, presenting and discussing international reports and journal papers

With respect to Formulation of judgements and professional attitudes with integrity, graduated students will be able to:

10. Formulate judgements that include reflecting on scientific, societal and ethical responsibilities and to achieve awareness of ethical aspects on research and development work
11. Get insight into the possibilities and limitations of technology, its role in society and the responsibility of humans for its use, including, social, economic as well as environmental and occupational health aspects
12. Work in teams and collaborate in groups with different compositions
13. Continue studies in a largely self-directed and autonomous manner, and contribute to research and development
