The course provides an introduction to selected key components in mechanical and process engineering. Components that will be looked at are, for example engines / engine principles, pumps and compressors. Furthermore, the technologies for extraction and processing of oil and gas, both from traditional fosil sources and based on biological sources. Biorefinery technology for the production of biodiesel / biogas / bioethanol, bioplastics will also be discussed. Each student will during the course put themselves into a single topic, search information on their own and present the results to the other course participants

After completing the course the student should know the structure and function of the important components in mechanical and process engineering.
