Course abstract

The Bachelor work is the final work of the second-level professional bachelor's studies, in which the student independently solves the problem in the field of energy engineering. In this work, the student shows the skills of working with industry literature, carrying out its analysis, formulating a problem and addressing engineering challenges in the field of energy, gathering and systematising the results obtained, demonstrating professional maturity and the ability to deal with the challenge independently, providing solutions to the problem.
