Project duration: 1 January 2018 – 31 March 2021

Objective

OSMOTI combines education in process metallurgy with innovation and entrepreneurship to tackle tough competition within the steel producing industry, which demands innovative solutions. OSMOTI does this by digitalising the course content and explicitly including innovation and entrepreneurship into the course lecture material, assignments and grading criteria.

The solution (technology)

In the course the students will solve problems of industrial relevance using state-of-the-art simulation software for computational fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. In addition, the course also enables students to develop their project management, innovation and entrepreneurship skills. Early in the course there will be a problem formulation seminar (Dragon’s Den) in which an evaluation board consisting of both academia and industry will evaluate the student project ideas. At the end of the course students will present their solutions to the industrial problems at an open seminar.
