Module objectives/int ended learning outcomes
ILO-1: An ability to use engineering principles in designing technology products related to the field of agricultural engineering science
ILO-3: An ability to manage and utilize natural resources (agriculture and environment) and the supporting resources (human resources, infrastructure, etc.) in an optimal way and sustainable
Objectives: This course aims to introduce several aspects of bioenergy. The courses includes an introduction and bioenergy material. The introduction consists of national energy demand and energy supply, energy planning
methodology and human needs, information on energy planning needs, energy sources and future energy needs. Bioenergy material consists of energy from biomass sources, biomass benefits, energy from biomass by direct combustion, pyrolysis, alcohol fermentation, anaerobic digestion, biogas technology, family biogas planning, community and institutional biogas planning, and biodiesel technology.
Knowledge: familiarity with bioenergy material consists of energy from biomass sources, biomass benefits, energy from biomass by direct combustion,
pyrolysis, alcohol fermentation, anaerobic digestion, biogas technology, family biogas planning, community and institutional biogas planning, and biodiesel technology
Skills: cognitive – Apply alternative energy according to its properties which can be converted into various forms of energy. Phsycomotoric - practical abilities to calculate energy requirements and planning methodologies for alternative energy processing for future needs
Competences: Student able to evaluate solid biomass energy conversion techniques, biodiesel processing techniques, pretreatment and hydrolysis, fermentation and purification, biogas, and gasification.
