By the end of the module students should be able to

• Present and criticise the potential, benefits, boundary conditions, and prospects of employing HT-FC technology today and in future markets;

• Describe the theoretical basis of HT-FC with respect to the electrochemistry and thermodynamics 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;

• Select appropriate materials for HT-FC designs and define crucial properties;

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

Completing a course is an oral exam. The requirement for an oral exam is a graduation project defence.
