Enabling students to practice self-learning, to find solutions to designproblems that are sustainable, helping them recognizing that they are part of community are justa few of our educational goals. Energy and power engineering education has undergonesignificant changes over the last decades, together with an increased student interests into suchengineering programs.

Thesemester-long project – a mini e-commerce web site – was a good one. It used a model-view-controller architecture, involved both front-end and back-end development, and required aconnection to an SQL database. The implementation of that project, however, already felt a bitdated. The front end used Java more than JavaScript, and the back end used on an olderframework that concealed underlying design patterns. Since a major goal of the course was toexpose students to current technologies and
