Course PM
Course PM for FSD3900 valid from Autumn 19, edition 1.
General Description The aim of this course is to provide an awareness of both the challenges and opportunities involved in sustainable vehicle design. This is done by adopting global-, societal- and agent-level perspectives. The course consists of preparatory reading, lectures, group discussions, workshops and assignments.
Intended learning outcomes After completing the course, the student should be able to:
* Discuss the main challenges faced in realising sustainable transport vehicles and explain the key global drivers and barriers behind transitioning to these.
* Reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of different modelling approaches, assessment methods, and design theories relevant to the design of sustainable vehicles and motivate the choice for given approaches.
* Assess the ecological and economic aspects of their own research and relate these to the needs of a future sustainable society.
* Perform simple benchmark simulations and assessment calculations and evaluate the results.
Course main content The bulk of the scheduled course activities is organised into three consecutive days where the focus is put global-, society- and agent-level considerations on the respective days.
Structure The course is delivered through preparatory reading, lectures, discussions and exercises. The language for the course is English.
Schedule The course offering in Autumn 2019 will be focussed around three consecutive days of activities in December. Attendance is expected throughout these days.

Final summary discussion
This schedule is a draft and may be subject to change.
Literature The course literature consists of scientific papers and reports.
Examination The course consists of one component:
* 6.0 credits with grade scale: Pass/Fail.
Requirements for final grade To complete the course students are required to read the course literature and actively participate during the course lectures, discussions and workshops. Students must also satisfactorily complete an assignment, which includes writing a report; presenting and discussing the report contents at the course seminar; and writing a peer-review about the report of a fellow course-student. In the assignment, the student should demonstrate their completion of the course’s intended learning outcomes by relating their own research to the need for sustainable vehicles. Here, the student should take both a top-down and bottom-up holistic perspective, and also refer on the course content.
Eligibility The course is open to all doctoral students whose project topic is related to sustainable vehicle design.
