The Master’s course:

The main goal of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EJMJD) in Sustainable Transportation an Power Systems (STEPS) is the training of qualified staff in areas related to electrical energy management, emphasizing in power systems for renewable energies and electrified transportation systems. The Master presents a double approach: scientific and professional. In the scientific vision, training focuses on the design of two main applications: Electrical Power Systems and Electrical and Hybrid Traction Systems. On the other hand, in the professional scope, training is focused on the management of electrical energy (attending to two main issues, such as the management of energy in large consumers and the generation and transmission of electrical energy in a liberalized market). Three main lines have been considered as keystones in the Master:

·       Electrical Power Systems

·       Electrical and Hybrid Vehicles

·       Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies

The third semester (Univ. of Oviedo):

This subject belongs to the third semester, which has streamed in Sustainable Transportation or in Power Systems. 

The subject:
The basic aim is to integrate previous knowledge to develop a project of some importance, learn how to deal with the specific instrumentation material of a power systems laboratory, understand safety issues when handling electrical equipment, and develop learning skills and independent work.

The students must certify that they have passed basic skills and competences in power electronics, power plants, electric machines, and control systems and automation. This can be either accomplished at his/her incoming student profile and CV or, if not covered there, by completing the related subjects of the first semester.

These are the maximum, minimum, and proposed values for the evaluation of the students:

The final student’s qualification will be obtained as follows.

• 50% of the student’s mark comes from the assessment of the proposed projects. It is a mandatory proof.
• Another 10% will come from the simulations developed by the student, considered as a simulated task performance test. It is a mandatory proof.
• A 30% will come from an oral presentation of the developed project by the students. It is a mandatory proof.
• Finally, the 10% left comes from the assistance to the presential hours (a minimum of 50% is required).

Exceptionally, in the event that health conditions require it, non-presential evaluation methods may be included. In this case, the student body will be informed of the changes made.
