Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All students are expected to attend the lectures. Instructor will assign several problems related to transport phenomena in fuel cells during the semester. The students will be asked to solve the given problem analytically and/or using a software. Students are required to work individually.

Students will be expected to produce a project report and make an in-class oral presentation. This project is intended to allow students to study a topic related to fuel cell technologies. The topic chosen must be approved by the course instructor. A list of suggested topics and guidelines on preparing the report and presentation will be provided. One purpose of the student project presentations is to provide an important educational experience for the rest of the class. Therefore, all students must attend these presentations.
