Objectives and competences
To gain in-depth knowledge and a functional understanding of how parts work in energy companies.
To provide basic knowledge about work in the work environment.
To train students for independent analysis and work in companies.
Develop skills to enable students to independently and creatively solve engineering problems and knowledge of the work environment in the field of energy.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Within the course, students will learn about working environments in the fields of energy technology, such as:
- nuclear energy technology,
- thermal energy technology,
- hydropower engineering,
- general energy technology,
- energy technology in the field of alternative sources and electric power.
Energy technology is an interdisciplinary professional field that deals with the role of energy sources, energy technologies and the use of technological forms of energy in society. In this way, in addition to natural science and technological issues, students will also learn about sociological, economic and environmental issues related to the work environment. In addition to work processes, students will also learn about the peculiarities of companies and energy markets. Students will get to know different sectors in companies such as maintenance department, development sector, sales and others.
