A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fundamentals of research in solar thermal energy

Fundamentals of research in solar thermal energy cover the cycle of scientific inquiry—identifying a problem, reviewing literature, formulating hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting and analysing data, and drawing conclusions. Mastery of these steps is essential for designing credible experiments, interpreting results, and communicating findings in the NUC CCMAS / NBTE / NCCE exams.
