Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <sec id="cae21554-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>This article presents a teaching–learning methodology for the course "Hydropower and Ocean Power" in the Master of Renewable Energy Program at the Technical University of Cartagena (Spain). In line with the famous "Bologna Declaration, " a new teaching approach is proposed, in order to ensure that students acquire skills related to the ability of analyzing and designing Hydraulic Machinery. The roles of the <italic>tutor facilitator</italic>, as well as the use of freehand sketches and the Matlab programming to optimize the management of commercial CFD packages, are some specific features of the project.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
