Description

To be completed sequentially with SOLA2051. The main emphasis of this course is hands-on "projecteering", or project engineering.
A wide range of projects is made available for students or groups of students, and new projects regularly become available, giving students some degree of choice.
Examples of projects include monitoring and analysing existing installations, installing new PV, thermal solar, wind or micro-hydro generation systems, developing educational multimedia presentations, system design, modelling, developing country applications of renewable energy, biodiesel manufacturing and solar cell laboratory projects.
Each project will have a research component, a planning component, a hands-on component and a reporting component and may involve a peer-reviewed oral presentation component.
Lectures covering projecteering skills and practice are given in the early weeks, after which students work closely with their nominated project supervisor on their projects. A written project report must be submitted on each project to satisfy the requirements for SOLA2052.
