- Ability to establish synergy between theoretical and practical aspects;
- Applied sciences approach (report structure, criticism, search for information in the scientific literature);
- Analysis and criticism of experimental measurements;
- Management of a group project (planning, collaboration, ...);
- Application of previous courses and development of the knowledge in energetic systems;
- To raise up its own creativity by means of learning by group project;
- The ability to give an oral presentation and to present a report on a scientific topic.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

- Applied thermodynamics and introduction to thermal systems;
- Heat transfer;
