Teaching methods
Teaching includes lectures, calculation exercises, assignments and laboratory demonstrations. In addition, some independent study work is given during the course. Traditionally, course has utilized 1-2 visitor lecturers. The course utilizes web learning environment.
Practical training and working life connections
Possibly some visiting lecturers from working life.
Exam dates and retake possibilities
Lopputentti joulukuussa ja kaksi uusintatenttiä tammikuussa.
International connections
The course includes aspect to bioenergy production and use in Europe, and some global examples are also covered. However, the main attention is in Northern European biomasses and conditions, and Finnish energy production systems.
Student workload
Contact lessons 45 h; independent working (material reading, assignments, homework) 90 h.
Content scheduling
Lähiopetusta viikoittain pääsääntöisesti 2*2-3h
