Abstract

In the Master’s course in Energy, taught at the Faculty of Physics of the Complutense University of Madrid, the optional subject “Modeling and Simulation of Energy Systems. Projects” is part of the courses, among other subjects. This course has a practical nature, which facilitates the dynamisation of the class. The learning-by-doing approach is proving very useful for students to acquire new concepts and learn to use software tools they are not familiar with. This paper describes a series of actions that have been carried out with the aim of making classes more dynamic and facilitating learning. The range of activities has been very varied, from the presentation of articles, the discussion of practical cases, computer practices, team work, ... The results both in grades and in the degree of satisfaction of students and teachers are very good.
