Working in projects - Luleå University of Technology

Real student projects with a focus on sustainability

Festive atmosphere at the final presentation day

90 graduation students had ironed their shirts and perfected their Powerpoints when it was time for the final presentations of theses at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics.

Students help orphanage in Tanzania with water supply

20 students at Luleå University of Technology participate in a project in Tanzania via the organization Engineers Without Borders. In July, they will go to the village of Bumilayinga in western Tanzania to build a water reservoir for an orphanage.

The students presented creative prototypes

A smart bicycle rack, an optimized seeding tool and a functioning wind turbine. These were some of the exciting prototypes that engineering students had developed in the Sustainable Living project course.

Strong effort by the students in Delsbo Electric

For the fourth consecutive year, students from Luleå University of Technology participated in the Delsbo Electric competition. The aim of the competition is to drive a rail vehicle as energy-efficient as possible on a stretch of 3.36 km. The students stood for a strong achievement when they beat last year's world record and finished second.

"Like the day of a dream"

For the fifth consecutive year, the Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics had gathered all of the spring's theses presentations at the same day. This year, over 60 degree projects were presented in various technical areas, most of which were conducted in the form of sharp projects at the companies.

Hard work behind smart prototypes

Developing smart products with sustainability in focus, that is what the project course Sustainable Living is about. This year's edition offered a portable car lift and a compactor for plastic waste.

Aiming for victory with improved rail vehicle

Ten students at the MSc engineering programmes in Sustainable Energy Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are preparing for the Delsbo Electric competition on 27 May. This is the third time Luleå University of Technology is participating with a team, and now they are aiming for the first victory.
