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.

Students examine CO2 emissions for the World Championships in Åre 2019

Three students at the Master Programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering have quantified carbon dioxide emissions in a project for the Alpine World Ski Championships in Åre, Sweden, in 2019. They have come up with recommendations for how emissions can be reduced.

The students' mission: Developing a city

Develop ideas for the future Skellefteå! This assignment was given to students at the Bachelor Programme in Business and Economics. The students have now presented their proposals, ranging from a new traffic app to an event calendar and recruitment solutions.

This year's project in Sirius was a success

Smart forestry machines and improved gearboxes were on the menu when students presented creative solutions to sharp projects in Sirius. Sirius is an appreciated project course given in the fifth year of the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

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.

The city meets the water

A group of students from the Master Programme in Architectural Engineering has produced proposals for a general problem in many Swedish coastal cities; roads that effectively cut off the water from the population. The city of Luleå has the same problem as in Gothenburg and many other cities.

Impressive innovations by students

In Sirius, the project course at MSc in Mechanical Engineering, students once again showed impressive engineering solutions to real problems in companies. For instance a new rear axle for the Scania truck that led to a patent application.

Student projects on sustainable energy

Interesting talks in the field of energy and sustainability were given when final year students at the MSc Programme in Sustainable Energy Engineering presented their projects.

Students behind the first driverless hauler

Students at Luleå University of Technology in collaboration with Volvo Construction Equipment has developed adriverless hauler. Besides better working environment it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 100 percent.

Beat the world record but finished second

Also this year mechanical engineering students from Luleå University of Technology participated in the competition Delsbo Electric, which involves driving a rail vehicle as energy efficient as possible. The students stood for a strong performance when they beat the old world record and finished second in the race.

Students built a Permobil for terrain

Building an all-terrain electric wheelchair with good traction and stability, that was the challenge chosen by engineering students Elias Löthman and Anton Danielsson for their thesis. The result was very successful, which is also the employer Permobil thought.

Smart solutions for a sustainable world

This year's edition of the project course Sustainable Living had ten smart solutions with sustainability as its theme. The aspiring civil engineers showed great creativity combined with technical expertise.
