ME2321 Engineering and Global Challenges 3.0 credits
The course is an introduction to the master program. By identifying global challenges linked to the UN Goals for Sustainable Development, previous knowledge from the bachelor level is challenged. Really complex problems require more than subject-specific methods and must be understood on the basis of interdisciplinary knowledge, which includes analysis at several system levels and with several perspectives.
