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.
