課程大綱

THE FUEL CELL is an important component in Energy Engineering and can be defined as an electrochemical system that converts chemical energy in the fuel into electrical energy with the help of electrodes and redox electrochemical. There are many kinds of fuel cells that help us in meeting the energy demands of this modernizing world. Understanding them theoretically is very significant for research advancements in the field of Energy. This course ' THE FUEL CELL’ is a basic course taught entirely in English. The aim of this course is to provide introductory knowledge to students about the basics, types, working mechanism, applications and advancements in the field of fuel cells. This class will also deal with sustainable fuel cells for producing clean energy and thereby preventing hazardous environmental issues through significant energy efficiency improvements and sustainable use of resources. This course enables students to fully understand the basics of professional disciplines of the fuel cell, and to further inspire and enhance the knowledge of students about future energy technology. This course also has an important objective of motivating non-native English students to improve their English language skills like conversing, discussing and writing assignments in English. These practices will help them deliver better English presentations and also enhance their thesis and paper writing abilities. The students of this class will be separated into groups for weekly presentation purposes and every week the Teacher will assign a topic for presentation. In every class, the Teacher will initially finish the teaching. Then one person from every group has to give his/her presentation. The students can use Powerpoint and YouTube videos to make their presentations interesting.

評量方式

The Teacher will conduct one Midterm exam and one Final exam throughout the semester. The total score of exam will be for 100 marks, in which the Teacher will consider the assignment marks, class attendance and the weekly presentation of every student. The final score will be for 100% and it will be a sum of evaluations as 50% (from the final written exam) 25% (from the Midterm exam score) 15% (from the class presentations) 10% (from class attendance and attentiveness).
