Delivery mechanisms
This second year Master programme in Renewable Energy in Civil Engineering will use standard lectures and tutorials (Practical Sessions, Projects, etc.) to deliver the courses.
In general, each module will follow the same format. During lectures (10 hours/module), the particular renewable energy resource will be first discussed, then the details of the technologies to harvest that resource, and finally how the technologies are built and integrated into systems for the practical exploitation of renewable energy. This part of the module will be assessed by a final examination (FE).
Then, for each module, a project will be carried out in groups of 4 students on the concerned renewable energy for quasi real configuration. This project will require approximately 30 hours of personal work and, as much as possible, in close collaboration with industry or R&D professionals. This project (PR) will have an important role in the total evaluation (TE) of the module, either TE = 66% FE+33% PR or TE = 50% FE + 50% PR.
