Tiivistelmä
The on-going conflicts in different parts of the world has resulted in growing the number of asylum seekers in many countries. Finland, being one of the most developed countries with a high living standard is one of the top destination for the asylum seekers. Metropolia UAS is particularly interested in providing solar energy training to the asylum seekers.
The purpose of this thesis was to study different university courses and design a course and course assignments for asylum seekers. The plan was to study the courses offered by partner universities, but due to lack of enough Metropolia partner universities providing solar courses, universities other than partner universities were taken into account. Due to the lack of a complete overview of laboratory assignments provided by the universities, the assignments designed in this project had to be improvised.
As solar energy is the focus of training to be offered, a course on solar energy was designed for understanding of solar terminology and principles. A total of four laboratory assignments were designed in this project. The first two is for better understanding of the solar energy system and the final two for getting familiar with solar devices and for gaining experience in building them.
