HUT Advanced Energy Systems
Courses and Seminars, Spring 2008
HUT / Department of Engineering Physics and Mathematics / Advanced Energy Systems / Courses and Seminars, Spring 2008


The laboratory of Advanced Energy Systems is responsible for a wide variety of courses. While the emphasis is on courses with quite highly specialized topics, the selection includes also a few mandatory, basic physics courses. In addition to lecture-type courses, we also offer laboratory courses and several seminar-type courses, both of which develop skills directly relevant to ‘real life’: searching for information independently, documentation skills, and presenting complicated issues in a comprehensive manner.

The present credit system unit (below ocr) will be abandoned in favour of an European Credit Transfer System unit (below cr) for measuring progress in studies. This is done in order to improve international comparability. The old unit, ocr, equals approximately 1.5 new units, cr. The old unit, ocr, was defined as 40 hours of effective work by an average student, i.e. one week of full-time study. During the transition period of 2006-2010 both units are in use. Unfortunately, we had chosen to call the old unit cr, i.e., in our web pages of spring 2006 and earlier cr should read ocr.
