Course Description
The course covers systems for production, transmission, and distribution of electric energy under normal and abnormal conditions. The power blackout on a national level is used as a thematic example throughout the course. The course presents the structure and characteristics of the electric power system, which are lectured and studied in classroom and computer exercises and practical tests within the laboratory work. In industry, computer calculations are used for the analyses of international power systems. This type of calculation is part of the course, as well as calculations by hand, used to enhance the understanding of the computerized calculations. The course has relevance for an environmentally sustainable development: Electric energy is the most important form of energy for our prosperity. The course teaches how the power system works and can be controlled as effectively as possible and thereby minimize our energy consumption.

Course Description
In science, technology, and economics, linear and combinatorial optimization problems appear more and more often. The most well-known example is linear programming, where the so-called simplex method has been of utmost importance in industry since it was invented in the middle of the twentieth century. Other important problems, such as effective data processing, contain discrete variables (i.e. integers). In connection with this, the importance of combinatorial methods has grown. This course makes students aware of problems in linear and combinatorial optimization which are important in the applications, and provides knowledge about mathematical methods for their solution. The course also helps students develop their ability to solve problems, with and without the use of a computer.

Course Description
This is an interdisciplinary course that addresses sustainability, climate change and how to combine economic development with a healthy environment. Students explore greening the economy and the sustainable development goals on four levels – individual, business, city, and nation, and look at the relationships between these levels. Practical examples of the complexities and solutions across each level are discussed. A particular focus is placed on examples from Scandinavia, but the course also features examples from Europe and around the world.

Course Description
Modelling is often an important and time consuming part of an industrial control project. It is also important to describe the fundamental limitations given by the dynamics in sensors and actuators, and by measurement noise and actuator limitations. The course projects are typically performed on real model processes available at the department. In some cases the experiments are done at another department or in industry. The control design is first developed for a mathematical model. Software tools are used during the modelling, design, and simulation, and during the implementation. Some examples of model processes that may be used in the projects are inverted pendulums, model helicopters, quadruple tank processes, and industrial robots. Lego Mindstorm NXT is often used as an implementation platform. Project meetings are held regularly during the course. In the project the students must search for knowledge and information independently. In some cases regular seminars or guest lecturers are included in the course. The projects results and experiences are reported both in written and oral form.
