Tutors: Ing R. Farrugia / Mr. M. Fsadni / Mr. C. Yousif
Objectives:
- To enable the student to formulate, plan and execute a particular energy project;
- To apply theoretical knowledge and acquire experience in using empirical analysis tools to solve a hands-on problem in energy technology;
- To enhance the capacity of independent research and provide an opportunity to build on personal skills in addressing an energy issue;
- To deliver results, as would be required in real-life working environments.
Content: The study course is based on defining a project within a field of energy technology, preparing a proposal, setting an appropriate methodology, targets and deliverables and implementing the whole project within the time frame of 12 consecutive weeks.
