RENEWABLE Energy

Semester-long graduation project:

  A semester-long graduation project aligned with the “renewable energy" course for Engineering students helps them apply theory to real-world design. It reinforces cross-disciplinary thinking—critical in areas like energy systems.

These projects are designed to evolve in complexity over the semester, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, develop design and analysis skills, and encourage cross-disciplinary thinking.

🎓 Semester-Long Graduation Project Ideas (renewable energy)

🔧 1. Solar heating system for residential buildings. 

Objective: Model and analyse the full system for this application (e.g., water pipeline, mechanical assembly, system operation).

Phases:

·        IIdentify components of the system.

·        Include real-world maintenance scenarios and optimize for reliability.

Disciplines: Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Systems Engineering

📈 2. Wind Energy Modeling.

Objective: Design a system for wind turbines.

Phases:

·        Collect (or simulate) time-series maintenance data.

·        Propose maintenance schedules based on predictive insights.

Disciplines: Mechanical, Mechatronics, Data Science, Industrial
