Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Each academic year, different group projects in the field of energy are proposed and are carried out in groups of maximum 3 students.
For the academic year 2017-2018, 3 topics are proposed :
- Performance of the ULiège PV plant;
- Study and realization of a demonstrator for a solar water heater;
- Performance of a demonstrator for an energy storage plant by compressed air.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objectives of the integrated project in energetics are :
- Development of the ability to manage and to carry out a project in the energetics field;
- 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;
- Incompressible fluids machines;
- Heat exchangers;
- Heat and cold production equipments;
- Measurements of themofluid quantities;
- Control of linear systems.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
If needed, oral presentations given by the academic and scientific staff and discussion with the same staff are organised all along the duration of the group project.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
- Preliminary presentation (problem description, methodology, envisaged solution, work already performed and planning for the future work) : 20%;
- Final presentation : 20%;
- Personal investment in the project : 20%;
- Final report : 40%.
The mark for personal investment will be given at the end of the academic year by the leaders of the projects and will be based on personal involvement in the group. This mark may vary from one participant to another.
