| dc.description.abstract | A Master/Magister program in sustainable energy engineering was planned and developed as part of the project “Webbbaserat magisterprogram i energiteknik”, sponsored by NSHU. The program had substantial discussions during the preparation phase and substantial progress was made towards a common strategy from the six partner universities (Umeå, Gävle, Linköping, Uppsala, Karlstad, KTH) who decided to participate in the endeavour. The program was first launched in 2007 with 18 initial students. It was re-launched in 2008 with 15 students and is now in the application phase for the fall 2009 intake.
The present report covers the final part of the project from the point of view of NSHU, but the educational efforts, and the cooperation between most of the partners, will continue into the fall 2009 intake at least, with own funding from the partner universities. The continuation of the project for 2010 onwards will be re-evaluated in the autumn 2009 based on decisions by the Swedish government regarding eventual tuition fees for non-European students.
This final report covers the background to the application, the development phase and gives some conclusions of what went well and where the major challenges were.
The project has been used as example for a national cooperation in the energy education at a few workshops and keynote speeches at conferences over the last two years. | en |
