Master theses student, Hybrid Heater for Exhaust After Treatment System

Scania's Exhaust After Treatment System (EATS) development is an important part of meeting our ambitious environmental goals with an ecosystem of sustainable transport. Among other things, controlling the temperature of the EATS is important, and significantly affect the low greenhouse gas footprint Scania is known for.

Our sections are responsible for drive train control system pre-development, EATS hardware and software. Parts of the vehicle design with a major impact on the environmental impact and greenhouse gas footprint.

We are a strong multi-cultural team with different backgrounds and experience, where a devotion for technical development and requirements balancing are the common denominator. Together we normally supervise 10-20 theses students a year and we regularly get the feedback that our way of working is characterized by an inclusive, positive and helpful attitude.

With us, you will have the opportunity to do your thesis on a major company leading the development towards a sustainable future. You will have the opportunity to develop your engineering skills, to learn if the Scania work culture suits your future career goals and to show your abilities and talents over 20 weeks of thesis work.

Thesis assignment:

As for all theses the work will be divided in four phases. Starting with the tentative research question an iterative information survey will take place during the first four weeks ending with a more or less finalized introduction, motivation, research question, literature survey and method choice as well as a time plan. The following twelve weeks consists of the main thesis work, divided in two parts and split by a mid-term seminar feedback option. Finally it’s time to write up the thesis and present it orally both at Scania and the grading university.

The research of these theses will be focused on a new concept to heating the EATS. The study will be both experimental and theoretical. It will evaluate most aspects influenced by the concept i.e. emissions, fuel consumption, noise and GHG footprint as well as the TCO aspect and control/diagnostics.

Student profile:

We are looking for someone who is an imaginative, communicative, initiative-taking and structured problem solver who sees opportunities. You have a positive attitude, find it easy to make new contacts and appreciate working both in a team and on your own.

The would preferably be:

Educated in thermodynamics and compressible/incompressible flow.

With experience on laboratory work, preferably from an engine test bench or similar environment.

Having worked with Matlab evaluating and presenting results.

A Master of Science student in Vehicle Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Physics or similar.
