PDC124634 - Fuelling a Hydrogen Future – STEM Skills for Secondary Learning (Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10)

Course Details

Course Summary

Energy is the single biggest contributor to global warming, but without energy, our economies and societies would not be sustained. Most of the world's energy comes from non-renewable resources which pollute the air and land, and interest in cleaner, renewable energy resources that can power the planet is growing. The hydrogen industry in Queensland is set to provide a source of energy storage which can be utilised nationally and internationally, reducing carbon dioxide emissions globally and positioning Queensland as a sustainable energy powerhouse. Students undertaking this micro-credential will learn how hydrogen can support the world's growing energy demands while reducing the global carbon footprint, as well as develop the STEM skills relevant to participating in the emerging hydrogen industry.

This is a non-creditable micro-credential which is awarded a digital badge and Certificate of Completion which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Course Structures

Study Mode Definitions

  • Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
  • Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.

*All study modes may include Vocational placement and/or work integrated learning.
