About the course
Course content
The specialization project in hydropower and hydraulic engineering will give the student in-depth knowledge within a hydropower and hydraulic engineering. The student will complete a project work which can be an analysis of a specific topic, a pre-feasibility project study, experimental work in the laboratory, fieldwork with data collection, or computer program development. The project will include setting up a project plan with important milestones, status reporting during the project and a final report with the main findings in the project.
