Lectures were heldtwice a week in a classroom setting and discussed fuel cell fundamentals. Table 1 shows thediscussion topics such as fuel cell thermodynamics, electrode kinetics, performance andefficiency, transport process, classifications, fueling issues, and fuel cell systems andapplications. In order to compensate for some student’s lack of general chemistry principles,basic concepts were briefly introduced and appropriate examples were provided. After sevenweeks, students were given a midterm exam incorporating basic analysis of electrochemical andthermodynamic principles while including some response questions

In these environments, students are presented with (or may self-select) a problemor challenge to solve or a project (e.g., software development) to complete. The efficacy of PBLhas been demonstrated at multiple levels of education [31]–[36]. It has also been shown to beeffective in numerous disciplines.

many lab stationsclose to distance learners. The limited availability of instructors to verify students’ work hasmade it difficult for students to receive the help they need to complete projects. Multiplemethods, such as lab simulators or a remote laboratory, have been proposed and used toaddress these challenges based on the idea that simulators can replace the physicalexperiments. There are multiple software programs that enable students to design electroniccircuits. These programs contain virtual instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators,and logic analyzers that can be used to simulate and observe the voltages and currents atvarious points of a circuit. However, no simulator can completely replace the actual hands-onlaboratory

important to be able to adapt to any different culturalenvironment.Another fact, which is not new, is that many engineering students have a lack of knowledgeabout what being an engineer really means. The first 3 years are particularly intense and hard. Apossible way to improve their perception about the profession is to implement a new kind ofcourse, more enticing and dynamic. This is one of the proposals of COPEC’s engineeringeducation research team: - to embed a course with a more interesting activity for students,sooner, in the first year.
