Environomical Pathways for Sustainable Energy Systems (SELECT)
Sustainable energy services is one of the key issues for humanity, considering the complete environmental footprint for the services delivered.
The SELECT Masters programme starts from the concept basic renewable energy sources (sun, wind, geothermal and Moon driven tides) to establish the environomical pathways towards a future sustainable energy system. SELECT curriculum rests on a strong foundation in thermal sciences, emphasising the thermodynamic tools of exergy and thermoeconomic analysis. The SELECT Master programme offers a unique education, at a high academic level. It is an integrated programme from seven European top universities in the energy area, and prepares the students for a direct industrial engagement.
Programme outline
SELECT gives a two semester advanced introduction to the overall environomical pathways concept at one university (KTH, UPC, or TU/e), followed by a specialisation at one other partner university during year 2 (semesters 3 and 4 at Aalto, PoliTo, IST, AGH, KTH, TU/e or UPC). Mobility between year one and two is mandatory. The second year of studies in SELECT also include the MSc thesis project in an industrial setting in common supervision with researchers from any of the participating universities. The programme offers extended industrial contacts integrated throughout the whole programme, and especially as part of internships and seminars/workshops. The curriculum is highly integrated, first of all regarding to student and teacher mobility for certain common lectures, but also related to the extended use of remote teaching by the specialist teachers at all seven universities, in conjunction with “face-to-face” and “virtual” interactive workshops and project courses. The programme offers a unique, modern and highly interactive learning material which enhances the student learning process.
