Module M0577: Non-technical Courses for Bachelors

Module Responsible Dagmar Richter
Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge None
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The Non-technical Academic Programms (NTA)

imparts skills that, in view of the TUHH’s training profile, professional engineering studies require but are not able to cover fully. Self-reliance, self-management, collaboration and professional and personnel management competences. The department implements these training objectives in its teaching architecture, in its teaching and learning arrangements, in teaching areas and by means of teaching offerings in which students can qualify by opting for specific competences and a competence level at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level. The teaching offerings are pooled in two different catalogues for nontechnical complementary courses.

The Learning Architecture

consists of a cross-disciplinarily study offering. The centrally designed teaching offering ensures that courses in the nontechnical academic programms follow the specific profiling of TUHH degree courses.

The learning architecture demands and trains independent educational planning as regards the individual development of competences. It also provides orientation knowledge in the form of “profiles”

The subjects that can be studied in parallel throughout the student’s entire study program - if need be, it can be studied in one to two semesters. In view of the adaptation problems that individuals commonly face in their first semesters after making the transition from school to university and in order to encourage individually planned semesters abroad, there is no obligation to study these subjects in one or two specific semesters during the course of studies.

Teaching and Learning Arrangements

provide for students, separated into B.Sc. and M.Sc., to learn with and from each other across semesters. The challenge of dealing with interdisciplinarity and a variety of stages of learning in courses are part of the learning architecture and are deliberately encouraged in specific courses.

Fields of Teaching

are based on research findings from the academic disciplines cultural studies, social studies, arts, historical studies, migration studies, communication studies and sustainability research, and from engineering didactics. In addition, from the winter semester 2014/15 students on all Bachelor’s courses will have the opportunity to learn about business management and start-ups in a goal-oriented way.

The fields of teaching are augmented by soft skills offers and a foreign language offer. Here, the focus is on encouraging goal-oriented communication skills, e.g. the skills required by outgoing engineers in international and intercultural situations.

The Competence Level

of the courses offered in this area is different as regards the basic training objective in the Bachelor’s and Master’s fields. These differences are reflected in the practical examples used, in content topics that refer to different professional application contexts, and in the higher scientific and theoretical level of abstraction in the B.Sc.

This is also reflected in the different quality of soft skills, which relate to the different team positions and different group leadership functions of Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates in their future working life.

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

  • locate selected specialized areas with the relevant non-technical mother discipline,
  • outline basic theories, categories, terminology, models, concepts or artistic techniques in the disciplines represented in the learning area,
  • different specialist disciplines relate to their own discipline and differentiate it as well as make connections, 
  • sketch the basic outlines of how scientific disciplines, paradigms, models, instruments, methods and forms of representation in the specialized sciences are subject to individual and socio-cultural interpretation and historicity,
  • Can communicate in a foreign language in a manner appropriate to the subject.
Skills

Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

  • apply basic methods of the said scientific disciplines,
  • auestion a specific technical phenomena, models, theories from the viewpoint of another, aforementioned specialist discipline,
  • to handle simple questions in aforementioned scientific disciplines in a sucsessful manner,
  • justify their decisions on forms of organization and application in practical questions in contexts that go beyond the technical relationship to the subject.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

Personal Competences (Social Skills)

Students will be able

  • to learn to collaborate in different manner,
  • to present and analyze problems in the abovementioned fields in a partner or group situation in a manner appropriate to the addressees,
  • to express themselves competently, in a culturally appropriate and gender-sensitive manner in the language of the country (as far as this study-focus would be chosen), 
  • to explain nontechnical items to auditorium with technical background knowledge.


Autonomy

Personal Competences (Self-reliance)

Students are able in selected areas

  • to reflect on their own profession and professionalism in the context of real-life fields of application
  • to organize themselves and their own learning processes      
  • to reflect and decide questions in front of a broad education background
  • to communicate a nontechnical item in a competent way in writen form or verbaly
  • to organize themselves as an entrepreneurial subject country (as far as this study-focus would be chosen)

Content

The lecture on drinking water supply provides students with a basic understanding of the entire water supply system, encompassing water catchment, water treatment including pump systems, water storage, and the distribution system that carries water to the consumer.

Initially, basics in hydraulics and pump systems are presented (system curve and pump curve). Students learn how the duty point of the pump is determined.  Students learn about different water resources and will be able to design groundwater wells. Students learn how to determine water demand and derive planning values for designing the different elements of a water supply system (e.g. firefighting requirements). The functions of reservoirs, their design and arrangement in the water supply system are explained.  Students will be able to design simple water distribution systems.

A further part of the lecture deals with the processes involved in drinking water supply. This includes a presentation of the essential mechanisms and layout parameters for sedimentation, filtration, coagulation, membrane treatment, adsorption, water softening, gas exchange, ion exchange and disinfection. The basics of process treatment technology will be built on with parallel analysis of the impacts on chemical and physical water quality parameters.

The lecture gives an introduction into the classical structural dynamics, whereas the focus lies on the practical applications. The theoretical basics are worked out in order to apply them for typical issues in practice. For an effective vibration isolation due to vibration excitations by e.g. railway traffic, operating machines oder moving people, different structural measures are presented. The lecture is completed by performing examples of vibration measurements as well as interactive dynamic experiments in the laboratory.

The following topics are covered:

Particular features in structural dynamics

Basic terms of time-dependent excitations

Free vibrations (natural frequencies)

Induced vibrations

Impact excitations of structures

Methods of amplitude reduction (vibration isolation)

Introduction to soil dynamics

Content

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

The course provides and overview over different transport projects in the metropolitan areas of developing countries. Considering different perspectives on urban growth, social justice, economic development, environmental and climate protection as well as the economic viability of public transport, the specific situation in the urban conglomerates of Asia, Latin America and Africa will be analysed and placed in a regional and global context. Specific public transport systems will be examined to establish, whether they are a suitable example for sustainable urban development.

The following examples could be suitable case studies: Singapore (Metro), Lagos (BRT Light), Guanghzou, Bogota, Jakarta (Full BRT), Sao Paulo, Medellin (Cable Car Systems), Johannesburg (Minibus-Taxi).

The course will be designed interactively with the students and will partly be in English as is the majority of the literature in this area (also: Skype online interviews with international experts in the transport sector).

Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge

Basic knowledge of building materials, building chemistry, building construction and building project management

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

Students are able to reproduce essential features of sustainable construction and material cycles. They can also name the constructional and environmental properties of recyclates and describe the sampling and analysis process. They are able to give an overview of the history, definition and to provide strategic approaches to the sustainability discussion from a constructional and environmental perspective. Furthermore, they can explain relevant objectives, strategies and exemplary fields of research in the field of sustainable construction (e.g. environmental impacts of the production and use of building materials, life cycle assessment, energy and climate-optimised planning and construction, material principles of renewable raw materials). Students will be able to discuss the fundamental relationship between the origin and type of construction waste, quantities produced and methods for characterising them.

Skills

Students can relate relevant legal requirements to practical problems of environmentally sound design and construction and thus justify the application of specific limit values for individual areas of application. Students are able to assess risks that may arise from hazardous construction waste in a concise manner. They are able to critically examine innovative areas of application of sustainable construction on the basis of central engineering, economic and legal criteria. They can thereafter evaluate and propose approaches for alternative solutions exemplarily, e.g. for the processing and recycling of construction waste.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

The students are able to work out their own solutions for specific problems of recycling building materials in small groups. For this purpose, they can organise themselves in a division of labour and can give themselves a work and project plan. Furthermore, they are able to appoint group members to coordinate the cooperation with other working groups of the module and to moderate the presentation of work results in the seminar.

Autonomy

Students can coordinate their individual work performance with the other members of the group and prepare for it efficiently by use of scientific media.

In all three parts, first the phenomena are described, followed by the derivation of corresponding model and computational methods. The topics cover:

Part 1: Geometrically non-linear methods

  • geometrically non-linear structural behaviour
  • force and displacement load cases
  • equilibrium in the deformed configuration
  • geometrical stiffness
  • second order theory
  • displacement method and direct stiffness method considering second order theory
  • stability analysis
  • bifurcation problems and snap-through problems

Part 2: Pre-stressed systems
  • basic principle of pre-stressing
  • internal and external pre-stress
  • compressive pre-stress
  • pre-stressed concrete
  • tensile pre-stress, cables and membranes

Part 3: Material non-linear methods
  • non-linear material behaviour
  • loading and unloading, self-stressed states
  • theory of plasticity
  • plastic hinge theory
  • ultimate limit states

The seminar ""Infrastructure Management Wastewater"" develops the understanding of infrastructure systems in relation to wastewater systems, but also addresses other infrastructure systems. 

Initially, an overview of the entire system is given, including water catchment areas, water distribution, the origin of wastewater in households and industry, stormwater runoff management, and the treatment and reuse of water (constituents ). Thereby the design tools especially of digital modelling are understood by practical application. Energetic considerations as well as planning and restoration of pipeline systems are covered.  

For wastewater treatment, the basis developed in Sanitary Engineering I will be deepened and significantly expanded, especially the resource recovery of nutrients and water. Sanitary solutions for different socio-economic and climatic conditions are understood and calculated.

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

The seminar ""Infrastructure Management Wastewater"" develops the understanding of infrastructure systems in relation to wastewater systems, but also addresses other infrastructure systems. 

Initially, an overview of the entire system is given, including water catchment areas, water distribution, the origin of wastewater in households and industry, stormwater runoff management, and the treatment and reuse of water (constituents ). Thereby the design tools especially of digital modelling are understood by practical application. Energetic considerations as well as planning and restoration of pipeline systems are covered.  

For wastewater treatment, the basis developed in Sanitary Engineering I will be deepened and significantly expanded, especially the resource recovery of nutrients and water. Sanitary solutions for different socio-economic and climatic conditions are understood and calculated.

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

Students are able to reproduce essential features of sustainable construction and material cycles. They can also name the constructional and environmental properties of recyclates and describe the sampling and analysis process. They are able to give an overview of the history, definition and to provide strategic approaches to the sustainability discussion from a constructional and environmental perspective. Furthermore, they can explain relevant objectives, strategies and exemplary fields of research in the field of sustainable construction (e.g. environmental impacts of the production and use of building materials, life cycle assessment, energy and climate-optimised planning and construction, material principles of renewable raw materials). Students will be able to discuss the fundamental relationship between the origin and type of construction waste, quantities produced and methods for characterising them.

Skills

Students can relate relevant legal requirements to practical problems of environmentally sound design and construction and thus justify the application of specific limit values for individual areas of application. Students are able to assess risks that may arise from hazardous construction waste in a concise manner. They are able to critically examine innovative areas of application of sustainable construction on the basis of central engineering, economic and legal criteria. They can thereafter evaluate and propose approaches for alternative solutions exemplarily, e.g. for the processing and recycling of construction waste.

Content

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

The course provides and overview over different transport projects in the metropolitan areas of developing countries. Considering different perspectives on urban growth, social justice, economic development, environmental and climate protection as well as the economic viability of public transport, the specific situation in the urban conglomerates of Asia, Latin America and Africa will be analysed and placed in a regional and global context. Specific public transport systems will be examined to establish, whether they are a suitable example for sustainable urban development.

The following examples could be suitable case studies: Singapore (Metro), Lagos (BRT Light), Guanghzou, Bogota, Jakarta (Full BRT), Sao Paulo, Medellin (Cable Car Systems), Johannesburg (Minibus-Taxi).

The course will be designed interactively with the students and will partly be in English as is the majority of the literature in this area (also: Skype online interviews with international experts in the transport sector).

The seminar ""Infrastructure Management Wastewater"" develops the understanding of infrastructure systems in relation to wastewater systems, but also addresses other infrastructure systems. 

Initially, an overview of the entire system is given, including water catchment areas, water distribution, the origin of wastewater in households and industry, stormwater runoff management, and the treatment and reuse of water (constituents ). Thereby the design tools especially of digital modelling are understood by practical application. Energetic considerations as well as planning and restoration of pipeline systems are covered.  

For wastewater treatment, the basis developed in Sanitary Engineering I will be deepened and significantly expanded, especially the resource recovery of nutrients and water. Sanitary solutions for different socio-economic and climatic conditions are understood and calculated.

The contents of this module follow the recommendations of the German Association of Computing in Civil Engineering (www.gacce.de) for the BIM courses taught at German universities in the subject area of engineering informatics. The module aims to present methodological knowledge to enable students to introduce, to design, to monitor, and to improve BIM processes in companies and public institutions. An in-depth understanding of the methods and technologies relevant to BIM is essential. Emphasis is placed on generally valid principles and techniques independent of specific software products and valid for several decades. The theoretical content taught in the lecture is complemented by practical exercises, in which state-of-the-art software tools will be used. Topics include computer-aided design and geometry modeling, digital modeling of buildings and infrastructure, BIM data exchange and cooperation (focusing on Industry Foundation Classes), process modeling, job descriptions and BIM applications, BIM tools, and advanced aspects. A central component of this module will be a project work.
