After absolving the module the students should be able to:

• Present and criticise the potential, benefits, boundary conditions, and prospects of employing fuel cell and hydrogen technology today and in future markets;

• Describe the Physics, Chemistry and Engineering of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies and be able to apply this knowledge to moderately complex problems;

• Be able to choose appropriate technology when faced with a moderately complex engineering design task;

• Communicate information, concepts, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialists.

Completing a course is an written exam. The requirement for an exam is a completation of project to advance the topic.
