Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Description of the teaching unit:
The course examines the main energy flows with the objective of quantifying and identifying the environmental impacts all along the flows, from the resource extraxtion to the management of the wastes. Environmental impacts include the analysis of the interaction between the energy processes and the climate
Table of contents:
The course includes two parts:
- Climate: caracterisation; physical processes; interaction between energy flows and climate; measurement of the climate; prospective and climate change
- Energy: Introduction and definitions; caracterisation of energy flows; measurement of energy flows; energy management: evaluation tools of enerfy systems; prospectives about energy flows
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will have a knowledge of the main energy flows and their environmental impacts. He will have a knowledge of the metrological aspects of the thermal energy flows and the meteorological variables. He will be able to understand and interpret a multicriteria analysis as well as a life-cycle analysis applied to energy processes
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
None
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Theoretical course in alternance with concept application sessions. Two sessions are devoted to the use or exploitation of data provided by measurement sensors.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The course is given face-to-face.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
If the University moves to red code, the course will be given online using the LifeSize platform and the broadcasts will be made available to the students on MyULiège.
The examination will also be online: oral exam with class notes available (10 minutes preparation of a broad question and 20 minutes presentation) organized using the LifeSize platform.
Recommended or required readings
PowerPoint presentations available on MyULiège
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.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
In-person: Oral exam with closed notes on a rather open question: 30 minutes of answer preparation and 30 minutes of presentation with discussion on other parts of the course
Remote: Oral exam with open course notes; 30 minutes without preparation time
