Course Objective THE FUEL CELL is an important component in Energy Engineering and can be defined as an electrochemical system that converts chemical energy in the fuel into electrical energy with the help of electrodes and redox electrochemical. There are many kinds of fuel cells that help us in meeting the energy demands of this modernizing world. Understanding them theoretically is very significant for research advancements in the field of Energy. This course ' THE FUEL CELL’ is a basic course taught entirely in English. The aim of this course is to provide introductory knowledge to students about the basics, types, working mechanism, applications and advancements in the field of fuel cells. This class will also deal with sustainable fuel cells for producing clean energy and thereby preventing hazardous environmental issues through significant energy efficiency improvements and sustainable use of resources. This course enables students to fully understand the basics of professional disciplines of the fuel cell, and to further inspire and enhance the knowledge of students about future energy technology. This course also has an important objective of motivating non-native English students to improve their English language skills like conversing, discussing and writing assignments in English. These practices will help them deliver better English presentations and also enhance their thesis and paper writing abilities. The students of this class will be separated into groups for weekly presentation purposes and every week the Teacher will assign a topic for presentation. In every class, the Teacher will initially finish the teaching. Then one person from every group has to give his/her presentation. The students can use Powerpoint and YouTube videos to make their presentations interesting.

Course Schedule Week 1: Fuel cells - Introduction Week 2: Types of Fuel Cells Week 3: Hydrogen- The significant Fuel cell fuel Week 4: Proton Electrolyte membrane fuel cells Week 5: Direct Methanol fuel cells Week 6: Alkaline Fuel Cells Week 7: Microbial Fuel Cells Week 8: Microbial Electrolysis Cells Week 9: Midterm Exam Week 10: Regenerative fuel cells Week 11: Molten carbonate fuel cells Week 12: Phosphoric acid fuel cells Week 13: Direct Methanol fuel cells Week 14: Solid oxide fuel cells Week 15: Hydrogen Energy Week 16: Fuel conversion technologies Week 17: Methanol Energy Week 18: Final Exam

Evaluation and grading policy The Teacher will conduct one Midterm exam and one Final exam throughout the semester. The total score of exam will be for 100 marks, in which the Teacher will consider the assignment marks, class attendance and the weekly presentation of every student. The final score will be for 100% and it will be a sum of evaluations as 50% (from the final written exam) 25% (from the Midterm exam score) 15% (from the class presentations) 10% (from class attendance and attentiveness).

Materials All right reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.

Foreign-language textbooks:Yes
The Teacher will use some related textbooks/bibliography materials for the class. The Teacher will also prepare some appropriate PowerPoints for some classes. The students will have to study the textbook materials and the Powerpoint presentations prepared and taught by the Teacher for their examinations.

The access to curricular consultation The students will have a new experience in learning and improving English skills.
For online classes, Google meet will be used

Expanding teaching and resources ● 混成學習 (Blended Learning)
課程結合實體授課與線上學習（同步視訊／非同步活動）。
Combines face-to-face instruction with online learning (including synchronous video sessions or asynchronous activities).
● 數位科技融入 (Digital Technology Integration)
運用生成式AI、VR/AR、IoT、IRS等新興科技輔助教學與評量。
Utilizes emerging technologies such as Generative AI, VR/AR, IoT, and IRS (Interactive Response Systems) to facilitate teaching and assessment.
● 參與式創新教學 (Participatory & Innovative Teaching)
強調學生參與與產出，導入翻轉、PBL/專題、設計思考或遊戲化等策略。
Emphasizes student engagement and outcomes by adopting strategies such as Flipped Classroom, PBL (Problem/Project- Based Learning), Design Thinking, or Gamification.
● 數位教材資源應用 (Application of Digital Resources)
採用影音多媒體或具開放授權之資源（如OCW、開放教科書）作為主要或輔助教材。
Adopts multimedia or open-licensed resources (e.g., OCW, Open Textbooks) as primary or supplementary teaching materials.

The course corresponds to the SDGs SDG3：良好健康和福祉（Good Health and Well-being）
SDG4：優質教育（Quality Education）
SDG5：性別平等（Gender Equality）
SDG7：可負擔的潔淨能源（Affordable and Clean Energy）
SDG9：產業創新與基礎設施（Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure）
SDG13：氣候行動（Climate Action）
SDG16：和平正義與有力的制度（Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions）

Does the course incorporate AI ● 鼓勵學生使用生成式AI工具（Encourage students to use generative AI tools）
● 簡單介紹AI的基本概念（Briefly introduce the basic concept of AI）
