Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

1. Describe the role of hydrogen in modern energy systems and its potential to support global energy transitions
2. Evaluate various hydrogen production methods, including electrolysis, natural gas reforming, emerging technologies, and their efficiencies and environmental impacts
3. Examine the applications of hydrogen technologies in sectors such as power generation, transportation, and industry
4. Design and analyse hydrogen storage and distribution systems, considering safety, technical feasibility, and economic factors
5. Develop solutions for integrating fuel cells and hybrid energy systems incorporating hydrogen and other renewable energy sources
6. Utilise simulation tools to model and optimise hydrogen energy systems for performance, efficiency, and safety.
