Course content
Academic content must be agreed with assigned supervisor within the field.The master thesis is aimed at analysis, planning, design and manufacturing/transport and installation of offshore bottom-fixed and floating wind turbines. The master thesis work is related to research and/or development within a chosen area. The thesis may comprise theoretical, numerical, experimental or field studies; or development of novel wind turbine design or installation methods. When the focus is on theoretical/numerical studies the thesis work can be a specialization within aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, structural mechanics or geotechnics. Analytical or numerical studies of the interaction between the structure and air, water or soil; or an integrated global dynamic analysis of wind turbines in the permanent phase or under transport/as well as development and dimensioning of wind turbines are also relevant topics for the MSc thesis.
The students have to attend a mandatory introduction seminar (in the fall semester) to the master thesis beyond the established ECTS. The content of the seminar prepares the student for writing their thesis; such as searching for literature, writing reports, scientific publishing and ethics.
Learning outcome
Students will complete a master thesis within the engineering field.
Knowledge: Use scientific methods in the implementation of an independent work in the field.
Skills: Students will be able to prepare a project plan with milestones, reporting partial results and write a thesis in accordance with established standards.
General competence: Documented scientific qualifications through completion of a master thesis in the field.
Further on evaluation
A thesis defence with an oral presentation of the work is required. The final grade for MSc thesis will be based on an evaluation of the thesis report, taking into account the performance of the student in the thesis defence.
