THE COURSE, HELD IN THE SECOND SEMESTER OF THE SECOND YEAR OF THE MASTER’S DEGREE COURSE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, IS OF 6 CREDITS (ECTS). KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDINGS: - KNOWLEDGE OF FUEL CELLS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS AND STATIONARY ELECTRICITY GENERATION. - BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF HYBRID PROPULSION VEHICLES, INCLUDING HYBRID/ELECTRIFIED AIRPLANE PROPULSION. - KNOWLEDGE OF THE DESIGN METHODOLOGIES FOR THE PROPOSED SYSTEMS AND THEIR RELATED CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES. - KNOWLEDGE OF CONTROL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT ISSUES OF FUEL CELL SYSTEMS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS. - KNOWLEDGE OF ENERGY INTELLIGENCE METHODS EXPLOITED FOR MONITORING, CONTROL, DIAGNOSIS AND SUPERVISION OF ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS. THE MAIN SKILLS (I.E. THE ABILITY TO APPLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE) WILL BE: - ACQUISITION OF ANALYSIS METHODS FOR FUEL CELL SYSTEMS AND SIZING AS A FUNCTION OF THE FINAL APPLICATION. - DEVELOP COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS TO ESTIMATE PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN FUEL CELL ENERGY SYSTEMS - QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION CAPACITY OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE THROUGH EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY ACTIVITIES. - ABILITY TO DEVELOP ENERGY AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR FUEL CELL AND ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT THE STUDENT IS CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING THE MOST SUITABLE APPROACH TO ANALYZE FUEL CELL AND COMPLEX ENERGY SYSTEMS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS BEING CONFIDENT WITH TEAMWORK AND HAVING THE CAPABILITY OF PRESENTING AND DISCUSSING FUEL CELL AND COMPLEX ENERGY SYSTEMS RELATED TOPICS. LEARNING SKILLS KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS DISCUSSED USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED.

	Verification of learning
	THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH AN EVALUATION EXAM (30 IS THE MAXIMUM MARK). THE VERIFICATION CONSISTS OF A TEAM PROJECT AND AN ORAL EXAM. IN THE FIRST TEST, THE STUDENT HAS TO PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE SOLUTION OF A TYPICAL ENGINEERING PROBLEM ASSIGNED AND CARRIED OUT DURING THE CLASSROOM EXERCISE HOURS. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS IN A DISCUSSION, LASTING NO MORE THAN ABOUT 40 MINUTES, FOCUSED ON THE EVALUATION OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, AUTONOMY OF ANALYSIS AND JUDGMENT AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. PARTICULARLY, QUESTIONS ARE MADE ON FUEL CELLS WORKING PRINCIPLES, THE THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL METHODS ADOPTED FOR DESIGNING AND EFFICIENTLY CONTROLLING COMPLEX ENERGY SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS THE CRITERIA USED TO SELECT THE MOST APPROPRIATE FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY, DEPENDING ON END-APPLICATIONS. THE EVALUATION OF THE TESTS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CAPABILITIES OF SELECTING THE MOST SUITABLE METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX ENERGY SYSTEMS, EXPRESSING IN A CLEAR AND CONCISE WAY THE OBJECTIVES, THE METHOD AND RESULTS OF THE PROPOSED PROBLEM SOLVING PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS DEEPENING THE TOPICS WITH REFERENCES DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SUGGESTED. THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT EXHIBITS LIMITED COMPETENCE IN SELECTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY, LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE STUDIED WORKING PRINCIPLES AND STILL IMPROVABLE COMMUNICATION SKILLS. THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (30/30) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT PROVES HIS COMPLETE AND WIDE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SYSTEMS WORKING PRINCIPLES AND HIS COMPETENCE IN USING THE STUDIED DESIGN AND CONTROL METHODOLOGIES. THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION WITH HONORS (30/30 CUM LAUDE) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT PROVES AN OUTSTANDING COMPETENCE ON THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TOPICS, AS WELL AS HIGH COMMUNICATION AND INVESTIGATION SKILLS ALSO IN CONTEXT DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED DURING THE LECTURES.
