Will be announced on the Moodle learning platform or during the courses.

The module is divided in two parts: The first will take the first 10 weeks of the semester and will focus on knowledge transfer to make sure that the students have all information and data they need to carry out the project. The last part of the semester is dedicated on a project that the students will carry out as their exam. The project will focus on the application of high temperature heat pumps in real world cases, drawn fro the research projects of the chair. The students will be divided in groups of five. The whole topic will be structures in puzzle groups. The final exam will be organizeas a closure of the puzzle groups t answer the overarching research question
