Course Objective FUEL CELLS are 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 ' FUEL CELLS’ 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.

Course Schedule Week 1: Fuel cells - Introductory class 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: Solid oxide fuel cells Week 9: Midterm Exam Week 10: Regenerative fuel cells Week 11: Molten carbonate fuel cells Week 12: Phosphoric acid fuel cells Week 13: Methanol Energy Week 14: Microbial Electrolysis cells Week 15: Hydrogen energy Week 16: Fuel conversion technologies Week 17: Fuel cell vehicles (FCV) Week 18: Final Exam

Evaluation and grading policy 1.The Teacher will conduct one Midterm exam and one Final exam throughout the semester 2. 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. 3.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).
