working in the energy sector.Secondly, efforts will be made to expand student participation through research. This can includeproviding opportunities for students to conduct independent research projects related to energyconversion.Thirdly, the course will feature more projects with collaboration from local industry and fellowfaculty members. These projects will be designed to offer a wide variety of learningopportunities and to enable students to engage with the practical applications of energyconversion.Fourthly, the course will feature more hands-on learning opportunities. This can include the useof computer simulations, laboratory experiments, and other tactile learning methods. Thesemethods will be designed to allow students to gain
