For The Energy Equation, Week 4 will see us move into our final module – Fuel the Future. In this module students will be undertaking a collaborative investigation or engineering design to address some of the current or future focussed energy challenges.
Students will have the opportunity to hear from Flinders University academics in this space at the start of the module to understand challenges relating to energy storage and transport in the real world and the cutting-edge research currently being undertaken.
In their investigation, students will be bringing together all the knowledge and skills they have been acquiring over the semester to design and iteratively test designs, gain and clean rigorous datasets and draw conclusions based upon the lenses of the drivers, methods, benefits and drawbacks of their chosen technology.
Over the course of this project, students will engage in log booking their design journeys like they would in real-world science and engineering laboratories.
