Students who complete the course are expected to have the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

On successful completion of the course, the student:

• has a good understanding of the latest developments in the field.
• has a deep understanding of the fundamental scientific theories, standards and methods that are applied in the field.
• can evaluate the appropriateness and application of various scientific methods and approaches to research and development in the field.
• can contribute to the development of new knowledge, theories, methods, standards, interpretations and documentation in the field.

Skills:

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

• deal with complex technical questions and challenge established knowledge and practices within the field.
• formulate questions, and plan and carry out research development work at an international level in the field.

General competence:

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

• manage complex interdisciplinary tasks and projects
• pursue their research ethically and with professional integrity.
• participate in debates in international fora.
• communicate research and development though recognised national and international channels

The presentation will be assessed by the course leader, whereas the tool summary document will be assessed by the course leader together with an additional examiner. External examiner is used periodically.

Students who complete the course are expected to have the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

On successful completion of the course, the student in depth knowledge:

• Identify contemporary issues and challenges in healthcare delivery in particular diagnostics.
• Identify unmet biomedical and/or healthcare needs and apply engineering and life science principles for designing appropriate solutions.
• Apply appropriate engineering and analytical principles to decipher, understand, and describe situations and problems in living systems.
• Describe the key design considerations relevant to the development of diagnostics.
• Describe the experimental tools and techniques used in diagnostic applications.

Skills

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

• Solve quantitative problems in living systems using appropriate engineering and analytical concepts and calculations.
• Collect, analyze, and critically evaluate experimental data.
• Define the technical and practical factors that influence the performance of diagnosis.
• Design solutions to current unmet biomedical and healthcare needs, taking into account key technical and practical considerations.

General competence

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

• Communicate technical information clearly and concisely in oral and written form.
• Demonstrate effective technical and scientific communication skills through the execution of various laboratory modules and projects.
• Read scientific journal papers with a cross-disciplinary approach.

The exam consists of two parts:

1. An individual written assignment (project report) of 5-7 pages (excluding references and appendices).
2. An oral seminar (other students present) and an oral examination (no other student present).

The student's project report and seminar are based on the same topic. Both 1 and 2 need to be passed in order to pass the course and are graded separately.

The student needs to pass the written assignment (project report) to be able to sit for the oral seminar/ oral examination.

The written report can be appealed, the oral part of the examination cannot be appealed.

Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering science or related fields.

Referring to the examination's two parts listed above:

1. All aids are allowed.

2. None, except that the students are allowed to bring their individual assignment (project report) to the seminar and oral examination.

Two internal examiners. An external examiner is used periodically.

Closed book examination. No handwritten notes are permitted. A basic electronic calculator may be used.

Internal examination, with two examiners present. External examiner is used periodically.

The course includes the following specific topics:

• indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and health for human occupants: in-depth study of indoor air quality (IAQ), user control, thermal preferences and adaption. Advanced methods for field studies of IEQ/IAQ.
• design of building envelopes, including building form, materials and their environmental assessment, and climate-adaption.
• HVAC and building automation, including demand-control, automated commissioning, and optimisation of operation and facilities management.
• building-integrated and city-wide renewable energy supply, including solar energy and energy storage.
• methods for numerical simulation of indoor climate and energy use in buildings
• theory and application of life-cycle analysis (LCA), and its methodological issues

Pass or fail.
