| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO APPLY NOTIONS FROM BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS, THERMODYNAMICS AND HEAT TRANSFER, PLACING THEM IN INNOVATIVE CONTEXTS CLOSE TO RESEARCH AREAS APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING KNOWING HOW TO EVALUATE THE BEST SYSTEM SOLUTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEEDS OF THE USERS IN TERMS OF ENERGY SAVING AND OPTIMISATION OF THE ECONOMIC RETURN ON INVESTMENT, BOTH IN AREAS ALREADY KNOWN AND IN OTHER BROADER AND INTERDISCIPLINARY ASPECTS AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT (MAKING JUDGEMENTS) TO BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED FROM OTHER COURSES TO BE ABLE TO APPROPRIATELY FORMULATE ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY. STUDENTS MAY BE CALLED UPON TO: 1. CRITICALLY ANALYSE PROJECTS OF EXISTING COGENERATION UNITS, EVALUATING THEIR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY; 2. COMPARE DIFFERENT PLANT SOLUTIONS AIMED AT ENERGY RECOVERY, EVALUATING THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY IN TERMS OF ENERGY SAVINGS, EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND INVESTMENT COSTS; 3. RESEARCH AND ANALYSE DATA ON NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ENERGY POLICIES, EVALUATING THEIR OBJECTIVES, THE INSTRUMENTS USED AND THE RESULTS OBTAINED. COMMUNICATION SKILLS BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ONE'S OWN IDEAS AND ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS TO EXPERT INTERLOCUTORS, AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO TRANSFER THE SAME INFORMATION TO USERS WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY BUT WHO NEVERTHELESS HAVE TO INTERFACE WITH PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE. ENCOURAGE GROUP WORK ON PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES, ENABLING LEARNERS TO DEVELOP THEIR ABILITY TO COLLABORATE, COMMUNICATE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS EFFECTIVELY WITHIN A TEAM. TEACH LEARNERS TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH CUSTOMERS, UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS AND PROVIDE THEM WITH CLEAR AND CONCISE INFORMATION. THIS COURSE CAN HELP TRAIN GRADUATES TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY IN VARIOUS PROFESSIONAL SITUATIONS, FOSTERING THEIR SUCCESS IN THE ENERGY SECTOR. LEARNING SKILLS DEVELOP THE RIGHT COMPETENCES TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY USING THE TOOLS LEARNT IN THE COURSE, AS WELL AS SHOWING THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE BROADER NOTIONS LEARNT IN THEIR COURSE OF STUDY TO SOLVE INNOVATIVE CASE STUDIES. IN DETAIL: - ENCOURAGE LEARNERS TO TACKLE PROBLEMS IN DESIGNING AND OPERATING COGENERATION UNITS INDEPENDENTLY, DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR ANALYSIS, EVALUATION AND CHOICE OF THE MOST SUITABLE SOLUTIONS. - PROMOTE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES AND SIMULATIONS TO ENABLE LEARNERS TO APPLY THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE TO CONCRETE CASES, DEVELOPING PRACTICAL SKILLS AND PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITIES. - PROMOTE INTEGRATING KNOWLEDGE FROM DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES (ENGINEERING, ECONOMICS, ENVIRONMENT) TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEXITY OF COGENERATION UNIT PROJECTS, DEVELOPING A HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE ENERGY SECTOR. - TO GUIDE LEARNERS IN RESEARCHING AND CRITICALLY EVALUATING INFORMATION ON DIFFERENT PLANT SOLUTIONS, DEVELOPING ANALYSIS AND DISCERNMENT SKILLS. - PROMOTE COMPARING DIFFERENT PLANT SOLUTIONS REGARDING PERFORMANCE, COST AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, DEVELOPING CRITICAL EVALUATION SKILLS AND CONSCIOUS CHOICE. - ENCOURAGE LEARNERS TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AND PLANT SOLUTIONS IN THE ENERGY RECOVERY SECTOR, DEVELOPING A CAPACITY FOR CONTINUOUS LEARNING. - TO GUIDE LEARNERS IN ANALYSING DATA AND STATISTICS RELATED TO ENERGY POLICIES, DEVELOPING SKILLS OF INTERPRETATION AND CRITICAL EVALUATION OF DATA. - PROMOTE DISCUSSION AND DEBATE ON TOPICAL ENERGY ISSUES, DEVELOPING ARGUMENTATION, COMMUNICATION, AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. - ENCOURAGE LEARNERS TO DEVELOP PROPOSALS AND SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE EXISTING ENERGY POLICIES, DEVELOPING PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND CREATIVE THINKING. |

| FOR MECHANICAL STUDENTS THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ATTAINMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES WILL TAKE THE FORM OF A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL TEST. THE WRITTEN TEST LASTS TWO HOURS AND IS CONDUCTED WITH THE CANDIDATE FREE TO USE A NON-PROGRAMMABLE POCKET CALCULATOR, A PEN AND ONE OR MORE BLANK SHEETS OF PAPER. IN THE EVENT THAT THE ASSIGNED TRACK REQUIRES THE CALCULATION OF THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF A SUBSTANCE, THE TEACHER WILL AGREE TO THE USE OF THE APPROPRIATE TABLES AND/OR DIAGRAMS. THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS OF TWO EXERCISES. EACH EXERCISE QUESTION CORRESPONDS TO A SCORE OF 15 POINTS AND THESE POINTS ARE AWARDED IN FULL IF THE EXERCISE IS ENTIRELY CORRECT, 80% IF THERE IS ONE OR MORE CALCULATION ERRORS, 10% TO 70% IF THE EXERCISE SUFFERS FROM MORE OR LESS SERIOUS CONCEPTUAL ERRORS, ZERO IF THERE IS NO ANSWER. THE WRITTEN TEST IS PASSED IF THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD OF 18 POINTS IS REACHED AND IS NOT RETAINED IN THE EVENT OF FAILING THE ORAL TEST AND REJECTION OF THE FINAL MARK. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF THREE QUESTIONS ON THE TOPICS ANALYSED IN THE LECTURE, THE AVERAGE DURATION RANGES FROM 15 MINUTES (IN THE CASE OF ANSWERS GIVEN QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY), UP TO AN HOUR IF THE CANDIDATE HESITATES IN THE ANSWERS AND TAKES TIME TO REASON THE LEVEL OF SUFFICIENCY CORRESPONDS TO THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS TO BE USED, TO SET OUT THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY FROM A PHYSICAL ENGINEERING POINT OF VIEW AND TO INDICATE VIABLE WAYS OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE IS REACHED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES THE ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY TACKLE ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEMS NOT EXPLICITLY COVERED IN CLASS. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ORAL EXAMINATION WILL BE MADE BY CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS: ABSENCE OF ANSWER (0 POINTS), CORRECTNESS OF ANSWER (1-9 POINTS), METHOD AND LANGUAGE OF OVERALL EXPOSITION (0-3 POINTS). THE MINIMUM EVALUATION THRESHOLD FOR THE ORAL TEST (18 POINTS) IS REACHED BY DEMONSTRATING THAT YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND ARE ABLE TO APPLY TO THE REAL WORLD THE NOTIONS TAUGHT BY THE LECTURER DURING THE COURSE. FOR THE PURPOSES OF DETERMINING THE FINAL MARK, THE PROJECT TEST WILL BE WEIGHTED 50% AND THE ORAL TEST 50%. FOR MANAGEMENT STUDENTS THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES WILL TAKE THE FORM OF AN ORAL TEST. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF THREE QUESTIONS ON THE TOPICS ANALYSED IN THE LECTURE; THE AVERAGE DURATION RANGES FROM 15 MINUTES (IN THE CASE OF ANSWERS GIVEN QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY), UP TO ONE HOUR IF THE CANDIDATE HESITATES IN THE ANSWERS AND TAKES TIME TO REASON. THE LEVEL OF SUFFICIENCY CORRESPONDS TO THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS TO BE USED, TO SET OUT THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY FROM A PHYSICAL ENGINEERING POINT OF VIEW AND TO INDICATE VIABLE WAYS OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
