The course offers an introduction to the methods and techniques of online experiments used in experimental Economics, Psychology, and Business Administration. The course is targeted at participants with no or limited experience. It pursues the agenda of providing the practical, theoretical and tool knowledge to find a research question, deduce hypotheses and design and run an experiment. Hence, the focus will be on general methodological, design and process issues. The course is not surveying the existing experimental evidence but rather pinpoints towards selected well knowns experiments. We will follow a learning-by-doing approach. We will have a short introduction to data evaluation using non-parametric statistics as well as to relevant software tools (oTree). At the end of this course you will have gained not only the know-how needed to develop and implement an experimental research design online but you have also gained the basic skills required to gather, analyze and interpret experimental data.

Presentation slides, examples, and case studies from the lecture.

Scientific knowledge grows continuously but also experiences certain alignments over time. For example, early cultures had the believe of a flat earth while latest research has a spherical earth model. Also in social science and business management, from time to time certain concepts that have even been the predominant paradigm are challenged by new observations and models. Consequently, certain controversies emerge and build the base for advancing theory and managerial practice. With this lecture, we put ourselves in the middle of heated debates for informed academics and practitioners of the day after tomorrow.

The lecture targets several controversies in the domain of technology strategy and innovation management. By the classical academic method and the novel problem based learning format of a structured discussion, a given controversy is scrutinized. On selected topics, students will discuss a dispute and gain a thorough understanding. Specifically, based on a brief introduction of a motion, a affirmative constructive as well as a negative constructive is presented by two different student groups. Each presentation is followed by a response of the other group and questions from the class. Topics range from latest theories and concepts for value capture, to the importance of operating within a global marketplace, to cutting edge approaches for innovation stimulation and technology management. Consequently, this lecture deepens the knowledge in technology strategy and innovation management (TIM), enables a critical thinking and thought leadership.

Configuration management in complex projects and plans with high development shares, long runtimes and the use of high technology.

Configuration management (KM) is thus becoming increasingly important, especially in public, national and international tenders/projects, as well as in the aerospace and shipbuilding industries, among others. It is a tool of project management.

The essential terms and processes of KM are explained. The common basis is the DIN ISO 10007. KM is classified and delimited to the essential other processes of project management such as systems engineering, scheduling, quality management, risk management, controlling, contract management, etc.. The necessary structures in the products to be developed and manufactured and within the project organization itself are shown. KM supports the interface between the Project Management Office (PMO) and the executing departments, as well as the subcontractors involved. A key discipline of KM is change control, starting from the identification of the need for change to its implementation in planning, design, manufacturing and product. Special attention is given to the involvement of the client, often the public sector client. The classical project phases, acquisition, realization, commissioning and utilization require commonalities as well as different requirements for the respective KM.

The content taught is intended to enable students to work purposefully on new projects from the outset, to drive existing projects forward and to use KM in the process.

The Seminar teaches the basics of project management, which constitutes the foundations for technical as well as for business projects. It also includes a sideline about process management. The participants will work on the following questions:

• What is a project and what challenges does it imply?
• What methods have been developed to meet those challenges?
• How have this methods evolved over time? What is “state of the art” today?
• What basic skills should project members have?
• What is the difference between project and process? How can the latter be analyzed?

The approaches are not just taught theoretically, but put to use in group work. Through this approach, participants are enabled to work successfully on actual projects - and manage projects later on. As project work is increasingly important in work life, project management is a key skill for job applicants.

Main topics of the seminar include:

• The “magic triangle” of project objectives
• Typical project phases
• Key instruments and methods (project structure plan, RACI, Gantt chart)
• Project organization and steering
• Team communication and collaboration
• The agile approach of Scrum
• Process levels and cascading
• Process improvement

With the knowledge and experience from the seminar, participants should be able to acquire a basic certificate in project management with relatively little additional effort. The certification is available through institutions like GPM.

Participants already start working on their homework paper in the group work. It comprises 5 to 10 pages and a structure plan for the chosen project, which can be done in Excel for example. Ideally, the members of the work groups write their homework paper together. The expected scale of the paper would increase in this case, yet not proportionally with the number of group members (4 participants would be expected to hand in a paper of 15-20 pages).

Risks are inherent in every aspect of business, and the ability of managing risks is one important aspect that differentiates successful business leaders from others. There exist various categories of risk, such as credit, country, market, liquidity, operational, supply chain and reputational. Companies are vulnerable to risks. What makes such risks even more complex and challenging to manage is that the risks are often not within the direct control of the business executive. They can exist outside of the company boundary, and yet the impact to the company can be huge. The awareness and knowledge of how to manage risks in companies, will become increasingly important.

Some of the main topics covered in this lecture include:

• Targets and legal aspects of risk management
• Risks and their impact
• Risk types (classification)
• Risk management and human resource
• Steps of the risk management process and their instruments
• Methods of risk assessment
• Implementation of risk management
• Management of specific risks

Mayor Issues in Patent Law:

The seminar covers five mayor issues in german patent law, namely patentatbility, prosecution, ownership and employee inventions, infringement and licensing and other commercila uses.

The lecturer will give an introduction to each issue which will be followed by in-depth inquiry by the participants through group work, presentation of results and moderated discussion.

Global supply chains are networks of buyers and suppliers that often span continents. Mostly, they are not linear chains but rather complex networks of many independent companies. Governments and civil society organizations such as environmental and human rights advocates put increasing pressure on companies operating in global supply chains and demand better sustainability standards. These demands evolve around examples like avoiding hazardous chemicals in textile supply chains, ensuring sustainable fishing or securing human rights in the toys industry. Corporations take different measures from the area of sustainable supply chain management in order to meet these demands. It is the goal of this class to understand and explain these measures. Students will hold group presentations and write a short term paper. Possible topics of the groups: Challenges and opportunities of hydrogen supply chains in the automotive industry - Challenges and opportunities of battery supply chains - Challenges and opportunities for Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the cocoa industry - Challenges and opportunities for Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the area of textile recycling - Challenges and opportunities for sustainable fishing - Blockchain technology as a solution for Sustainable Supply Chain Management - Auditing standard SA8000 as a solution for Sustainable Supply Chain Management 

The Management Consulting lecture teaches students knowledge that is complementary to their technical and business administration studies. They learn the basics of consulting and agent-principal theory and are given an overview of the consulting market. They are also shown how management consulting works and which methodical building blocks (processes) are needed to deal with a client’s concerns and to undertake a consulting process. By means of practical examples students gain an insight into the extensive range of management consultancy services and of functional consulting.

General description of course content and course goals

We negotiaate everday in privat and professional contexts. Leading negotiations successfully has a significant impact on future careers. Yet, we tend to have limited knowledge about the theory and empirical evidence regarding successful negotiating. Many people approach negotiations in a rather intuitive and unplanned way which often results in sub-optimal negotiation outcomes.

The purpose of this interactive and problem-based course is to theortically understand the strategies and process of negotiation as practiced in a variety of business-related settings (e.g. negotiations about working conditions, negotiations with customers and suppliers). The course will highlight the components of an effective negotiation (strategy, perparation, execution, evaluation) and offer the students the opportunity to analyze their own behavior in negotiations in order to improve.

The course structure is experiential and problem-based, combining lectures, class discussion, mini-cases and small erxercises, and more comprehensive negotiation practices in longer sessions. Through participation in negotiation exercises, students will have the opportunity to practice their communication and persuasion skills and to experiment with a variety of negotiating strategies and tactics. Students will apply the lessons learned to ongoing, real-world negotiations.

Content:

The students will find answers to the following fundamental questions of negotiation strategies in theory and practice:

• How do negotiations influence everyday life and business processes?
• What are key features of negotiations?
• What are different forms of negotiations? What kinds of negotiation can be distinguished?
• Which theoretical approaches to a theory of negotiation can be distinguished?
• How can game theory be applied to negotiation?
• What makes an effective negotiator?
• Which factors should be considered when planning negotiations?
• What steps must be followed to reach a deal?
• Are there specific negotiation tactics?
• What are the typical barriers to an agreement and how to deal with them?
• What are possible cognitive (mental) errors and how to correct them?

Knowledge

Students know...

• the theory basics of negotiations (e.g. game theory, behavioral theories)
  
• the types and the pros and cons of diffrent negotiation strategies
• the process of negotiation, inlcuding goal formulation, preparation/planning, execution and evaluation 
• about some key issues impacting negotiations (e.g. team building and roles, barriers to reaching a deal, cognitive biases, multi-phase negotiations)

Skills

Students are capable of...

• simultaneously considering multiple factors in negotiation situations and taking reasoned actions when preparing and conducting negotiations.
• Analyzing and handling the key challenges of uncertainty, risk, intercultural differences, and time pressure in realistic negotiation situations.
• assessing the typical barriers to an agreement (e.g. lack of trust), dealing with hardball tactics (e.g. good cop, bad cop; lowball, highball; intimidation), and avoiding cognitive traps (e.g. unchecked emotions, overconfidence).
• reflecting on their decision-making in uncertain negotiation situations and derive actions for future decisions.

Social Competence

Students can...

• provide appropriate feedback and handle feedback on their own performance constructively.
• constructively interact with their team members in role playing in negotiations sessions

Lying press - there is a revival of the disparaging invective. Journalists use to shoot it down by leading it back to its supposed roots in the NS-propaganda. This is less convincing as several parties and ideologies have used it since the middle of the 19^th century to discredit the media of other parties and ideologies. And it is missing the core of the problem. Critics are reasonably afraid that the choice of “lying press” to the “non-word of the year” 2014 has blocked the question, if there is a justified criticism of information media and journalism - or more precisely of the relationship between journalism and its audience. If this is the case both - journalism and audience - are involved from the perspective of inter actionism.    

Against this background interactive instructions will be given by scholarly literature and practical examples from the German and international media business.

Questions like the following will be discussed:

• Is journalism really a profession? If so - since when?
• What is journalism for? (task and duties, functions, self-images)
• Do the audience and journalists themselves have a reasonable understanding of tasks, functions, practices, problems of journalism?
• What is the current concept of journalistic professionalism? Has it ever been the same?
• From an international perspective: Does journalism in Germany have special shortcomings - if so, how can they be removed?
• What are the economic challenges for journalism from the digital media upheaval?
• In which direction do journalistic professionalism and self-understanding change in the digital media world?

Objective is solid learning about professional tasks, ethics, techniques, endagerments, history and current problems of journalism including science journalism.

Popular novels and films significantly contribute to the public understanding of science and its representatives. How to define “good” or “bad” science is negotiated in a variety of artistic works. Stereotypes such as the “mad scientist”, which originated in early nineteenth century England, continue to persist. Mary Shelley created the prototype of the obsessive and reckless scientist in Frankenstein - The Modern Prometheus (1818) who conducts his forbidden experiments in a secret lab and crosses ethical boundaries. This masculine stereotype has been followed by further ones such as the noble, adventurous or clumsy scientist, whereas scholars have only recently begun to consider the representation of female science.

First, this seminar is devoted to selected formations of knowledge in relation to literature from classical antiquity to the present. Second, the focus shall rest on the production of persistent stereotypes in various media formats such as novels or films while paying particular attention to the aspect of gender. The overall goal of the seminar is an understanding of science as a cultural practice.  

Requirements for participation: Shelley, Mary: Frankenstein. New York: Norton, 2012. Please pay attention to the exact publication dates.

From Arts & Crafts to modern Design - applied arts focus on the design of all kinds of products. Therefore applied arts allow to come to more thorough conclusions about social, historical, cultural issues.

In the course the impact of social developments on these particular genres are discussed.

Seminarapparat

Master’s German course in cooperation with IBH e.V. - Master’s German courses at different levels

In the international studies program these are obligatory for non-native speakers of German and for students without a DSH certificate or equivalent TEST-DAF result. Grading after an aptitude test. All other students must sign up for a total of 4 ECTS from the catalog of non-technical supplementary courses.

The seminar wants to show the problems and challenges for the engineers, who built the Hamburger Speicherstadt and their sustainable architectural solutions, which are still of vital importance and the basis for becoming a world cultural heritage.

The course gives an introduction to the development of digitization in a media cultural perspective. In addition to technical aspects, we will focus on the cultural impact of digitization for current media users and the ermergence und development of media subcultures from the late 1970s to the 21st century. On the one hand, we will deal with questions such as: What is digitization? What is culture? What are digital (sub)cultures? In this context, the concept of ‚digital natives‘ and ‚digital immigrants‘, coined by Marc Prensky, will also be discussed. On the other hand, there will be a historical perspective on topics and developments such as the mediatization oft he children’s room in the early 1980s, the hacker scene, video game culture, the demo scene, digital culture in cinema, 8-bit culture, digital aesthetics , net art, post-digitality and ultimately the question of how digital subcultures have become part of the media mainstream at the beginning of the 21st century.

Digitalization is having a major impact on many areas of our lives and the use of digital technologies in art and design has increased rapidly. After all, art is not only subject to constant change, but also constantly adapts to technical conditions. After the photographic art of the mid-19th century and the video art of the 1960s, which already brought about major changes in artistic creation, digital art is becoming increasingly important in the field of media art. The first attempts to use the computer with corresponding graphic software as an artistic medium took place in the 80/90s of the 20th century. Since then, there has been a broad development in the field of digital art, which now encompasses the most diverse digital pictorial phenomena and art genres and is thus intertwined in its objects, theories and practices with digital media in a variety of ways. The seminar gives an overview of the history of digital art and its different genres. These include, for example, photopaintings, where digital manipulation, filtering processes and painting can process the image and transform it over many stages into a completely new form. Also 3-D images, vector graphics, mathematical art and computer art in general. At the same time, the digital development in art is to be illuminated, from the first beginnings on the computer with comparatively simple "digital aids", e.g. in the form of simple image processing programs, to the present sophisticated graphic tools.

In addition, the presentation, dissemination and conservation possibilities of digital art will also be discussed, which can be disseminated very well on the Internet primarily because it can be displayed on a computer screen. The great fascination with digital creative work and the almost inexhaustible possibilities offered by the medium of computers to artists, who will continue to ensure that digital art finds a permanent place alongside traditional media, will also be discussed. Finally, in contrast to the traditional production methods in the field of fine arts and design, there are always new manifestations of digital art, which ultimately give not only the "trained" artist but also the layman far-reaching possibilities for artistic expression. And all this in the spirit of the performance artist Joseph Beuys , who postulated, every human being is capable of creativity, indeed "every human being is an artist".

The seminar will also discuss the question of how digital art can be described as "the" contemporary art, i.e. contemporary art in the age of digital technology. Furthermore, it is of great interest to what extent the perception of art per se has already changed and will continue to change in a digitalized society.

• Basic concepts, opportunities and limits of organisational change 
• Models and methods of organisational design and development
• Strategic orientation and change, and their short-, medium- and long-term consequences for individuals, organisations and society as a whole
• Roles, perspectives and stakeholders in change processes
• Initiating and coordinating change measures in engineering
• Phase models of organisational change (Lewin, Kotter, etc.) 
• Change-oriented information policy and dealing with resistance and uncertainty 
• Promoting commitment and empowerment
• Successfully handling change and transformation: personally, as an employee, as a manager (personal, professional, organisational)
• Company-level and globally (systemic)
• Sharing experience with specialists and managers from the engineering sector
• Documenting and reflecting on learning experiences

The seminar imparts basic journalistic knowledge and skills to convey technical content to a broad public.
Technical topics are increasingly being taken up and discussed not only in specialist and special interest magazines, but also in the public media such as daily newspapers, television, radio and on the Internet.
The participants of the seminar receive skills that can enable them to actively contribute to such discussions.
Technology journalism is a comparatively young branch of professional journalism and includes reporting on topics from the areas of construction and housing, energy and the environment, transport and transportation, trade and industrial production, trade and services, as well as information and communication. The topics of climate and sustainability have recently been added. From these areas, journalistic topics for the final presentations are conceived, researched and implemented in small teams.
The seminar uses digital and analog communication channels in technology journalism. The handling of often very complex subjects and their understandable presentation is trained, the reporting is analyzed, the research is conceived, and typical forms of presentation and linguistic peculiarities are learned. The relationship to science, research and public relations also plays a role here. The seminar is rounded off by an overview of legal and ethical framework conditions.

In the Field of the Nontechnical Complementary Courses students are able to chose foreign language courses. Therefore the Hamburger Volkshochschule offers a special language programm on TUHH campus for TUHH Students. It includes courses in english, chinese, french, japanese, portuguese, russia, swedish, spanisch and german as a foreign language. All lectures impart common language knowledge, english courses although english for technical purposes.

„Words can build bridges or create rafts“ - this is also true for the scientific and business world. For example, how do I react if I get attacked in a professional debate by an opponent or by a colleague in my team, or if a fight arises during the planning of a project? In a challenging situation, what will help me to communicate respectfully and with appreciation? How can I express criticism or irritation honestly, directly and without reproach? 

Nonviolent Communication is a concept developped by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D., intended to help create an appreciative attitude towards oneself and others, and to live by it. Nonviolent Communication opens paths to express oneself in a mindful and responsible way, so that a bridge can be built even in challenging situations of conflict. Effective and satisfactory cooperation is only possible with well functioning communication between all parties involved, otherwise things will become difficult and inefficient.

By working with their own examples and anticipating questions that might arise in their future professional lives, the students of Engineering Sciences will be able to reflect their own communicative behavior and learn ways of cooperation and conjoint solution finding. This course will impart the essential competencies of communication necesary for that.

This course covers theory and practice of being a student teaching assistant in small-group instructional settings at TUHH.  As part of the seminar, the participants have the opportunity to reflect on their work, e. g. through mutual observation and discussion.

For prior knowledge / the event requirements:

This event requires basic first work / collaboration experiences in the academic work structures of a higher education institution, which Master's students have acquired as part of the qualification for the Bachelor's degree at a university.

These presumed work experiences include specific self-study experiences at a college.

These are picked up, reflected, expanded and further developed both theoretically and practically with regard to learning from and in groups and later guiding this learning process.

Furthermore, experiences with different types of learning / group types of higher education, which are part of a degree program acquired during the bachelor's program, are assumed, taken up, reflected on, expanded and further developed here in the master's program.

The course also requires basic knowledge of presenting scholarly work results obtained by Master's students with a Bachelor's degree.

In the course, this experience with and in representation in a group situation will be expanded and further developed in the direction of students' involvement with their own role as well as their design in face-to-face interaction as well as in group processes, learning and leadership situations, as masters graduates Graduate unlike bachelor graduates professionally stronger in a moderating role and with the guidance of humans because with the guidance in subject matters are demanded.

According to the later professional role, the work of the seminar promotes and enables graduate students significantly more than graduates' qualifications for independent work and learning, transferring what they have learned to new areas, contributing, involving discussion and contributing their own examples and interests.

As young professionals with technical background you may often tend to focus on communicating numbers and statistics in your presentations. However, facts are only one aspect of convincing others. Often, your personality, personal experience, cultural background and emotions are more important. You have to convince as a person in order to get your content across.

In this workshop you will learn how to increase and express your cultural competence. You will apply cultural knowledge and images in order to positively influence communicative situations. You will learn how to add character and interest to your talks, papers and publications by referring to your own and European Cultural background. You will find out the basics of communicating professionally and convincingly by showing personality and by referring to your own cultural knowledge. You will get hands-on experience both in preparing and in conducting such communicative situations. This course is not focussing on delivering new knowledge about European culture but helps you using existing knowledge or such that you can gain e.g. in other Humanities courses.

Content

• How to enrich the personal character of your presentations by referring to European and your own culture.
• How to properly arrange content and structure.
• How to use PowerPoint for visualization (you will use computers in an NIT room).
• How to be well-prepared and convincing when delivering your thoughts to your audience.

Literaturhinweise werden zu Beginn des Seminars bekanntgegeben.

Literature will be announced at the beginning of the seminar.

The subject of the course is the deepening of the intercultural dimension of international management in relation to fundamental challenges, the importance of culture in team work and leadership of large multinational companies. In addition, culture-awareness trainings are discussed and carried out.

TOWARDS A EUROPEAN MICRO-CREDENTIALS INITIATIVE

https://www.eciu.org/news/towards-a-european-micro-credentials-initiative

Join multidisciplinary and international teams at the ECIU University and solve standard challenges linked to the SDG11 - Sustainable cities and communities, provided by business and societal partners across Europe. Participation in standard challenges will allow you to make a real impact in the community, city, or region by solving real-time local, national, and global challenges with a new way of learning - the challenge-based learning.

General procedure of a challenge:

1. The standard challenge is provided by a city, region or business stakeholder and is entered on the ECIU University Challenge platform (challenges.eciu.org).
2. You register to the standard challenge you find relevant on the platform.
3. An international and interdisciplinary team is formed from registered participants from all ECIU partner universities and a team facilitator from the host university is assigned.
4. You work with the team on the standard challenge, engage, investigate, and propose non-technical solutions using the challenge-based learning methodology (https://eciu.tuhh.de/challenge-based-learning/).
5. During the process, you can select relevant micro-modules from ECIU member universities that help you gain additional knowledge or skills that are relevant to solve the standard challenge.
6. Finally, teams deliver their outputs - which may include services, products, research questions, start-ups and spin-offs.

By working in multi-disciplinary and/or international teams, you will build up inter-cultural competences and increase your network of expertise by developing problem-solving and team-work skills.

TUHH is major part of the ECIU University leading institution related to the Challenge-based learning. All ECIU challenges will constantly be updated at the challenge platform: challenges.eciu.org

“Standard challenges” are challenges in the ECIU University that are supposed to be done within 3-6 months. Focus is to define your actual challenge, find suitable solution(s) and to implement as well as evaluate and publish them. https://eciu.tuhh.de/cbl-in-more-detail/

This course is aimed at Master students from member universities of the ECIU network (www.eciu.org). The course requires an independent approach to work, the willingness to learn independently about new non-technical topics and research methods, and the motivation to learn and actively participate in an international/disciplinary team.

TOWARDS A EUROPEAN MICRO-CREDENTIALS INITIATIVE

https://www.eciu.org/news/towards-a-european-micro-credentials-initiative

This course is for master students. In this seminar, we will explore different theories, models and methods from the fields of communication, psychology and cultural theory.

The participants will work on theoretical content and do group presentations. They will also use examples from their own experiences to apply models and methods in practical exercises.

The way we communicate shapes the way we experience our relationships, in the business world as well as in our private lives. We spend an overwhelming amount of time in group situations. This makes it worthwhile to explore how communication works within the group context and how, within these different groups, different cultures of communication develop. This particularly applies in highly specialized fields, such as engineering.

Our ability to flexibly and successfully move from one context to another helps us along in building successful careers and allows us to feel positive about our private lives.

However, this is not always simple. For example:

            If we are part of a context in which many conflicts arise

            If we have to switch between different contexts frequently

            Or if, on the one hand, complicated facts and data are our main focus but on the other hand, we have to communicate them to people who are not familiar with the subject. Maybe we even have to win their attention in order to help along our causes.

Oftentimes, this leads to misunderstandings. There also might be a lack of openness or willingness to embrace conflict. This might make it difficult for us to reach our goals. To be able to reflect on the way we communicate, to identify patterns of communication and the ability to actively build positive relationships through communication are useful skills to help overcome those obstacles..

The seminar LITERATURE AND CULTURE investigates what culture is, especially what characterises epistemic cultures.

Culture is to be understood as the creative response to a given situation and the capacity to integrate inputs and influences, therefore as an ongoing process of permanent readjustment and learning, and by no means as a fixed identity in terms of an “essence”.

There is a growing awareness that Europe cannot lay claim to possess the ultimate standards of knowledge.

A topography of our contemporary world is to be sketched by highlighting its historical and cultural premises.

The world wide walkover of the internet dramatically changed the perception of classical media like newspapers, magazines and even TV. In this seminar the reasons of and the consequences for the dramatic changes regarding our information habits will be analyzed and discussed. Has the media expert Neil Postman been right, when he one said, that we all one day will be „overnewsed but underinformed“?

Keeping a close eye on the real challenges of journalism, the seminar will discuss the standards of ethics in politics and media.

Wird im Seminar genannt

Scientists and engineers neither just strive for truths and scientific laws, nor are they working in a space far from politics.  Science and engineering have contributed to what we now call the Anthropocene, the first time in the history of mankind when essential cycles of the earth system, e.g. carbon cycle, climate system, are heavily influenced or even shattered. Furthermore, Peak oil is indicating the end of cheap fossil energy thus triggering the search for alternatives such as biomass.

Systems of knowledge, science and technology in the OECD countries have since roughly 30 years increasingly become divided. On the one hand new technologies such as modern biotechnology, IT or nanotechnology are developing rapidly, bringing about many innovations for industry, agriculture, and consumers. On the other hand scientific studies from earth, environmental, climate change, agricultural and social sciences deliver increasingly robust evidence on more or less severe impacts on society, environment, global equity, and economy resulting from innovations during the last 50 years. Technological innovation thus is no longer an uncontested concept. And many protest movements demonstrate that the introduction of new or the enlargement of existing technologies (e.g. airports, railway stations, highways, high-voltage power lines surveillance) isn’t at all a matter of course.

It is important to bear in mind the fact that all processes of technological innovation are made by humans, individually and collectively. Industrial, social, and political organizations as actors from the local to global level of communication, deliberation, and decision making interact in diverse arenas, struggling to promote their respective corporate and/or political agenda. So innovations are as well a problem of technology as a problem of politics. Innovation and technology policies aren’t the same in all countries. We can observe conceptual and practical variations.

Since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Agenda 21 constitutes a normative umbrella, indicating Sustainable Development (SD) as core cluster of earth politics on all levels from local to global. Meanwhile other documents such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) have complemented the SD agenda. SD can be interpreted as operationalization of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations and since amended many times. 

Engineers and scientists as professionals can’t avoid to become confronted with many non-technical and non-disciplinary items, challenges, and dilemmas. So they have to choose between alternative options for action, as individuals and as members of organizations or employees. Therefore the seminar will address core elements of the complex interrelations between science, society and politics. Reflections on experiences of participants - e.g. from other countries as Germany - during the seminar are very welcome.

The goals of the seminar include:

• Raising awareness and increasing knowledge about the political implications of scientific work and institutions;
• Improving the understanding of different concepts and designs of innovation and technology policies;
• Increasing knowledge about the status and perspectives of sustainable development as framework concept for technological and scientific progress;
• Understanding core elements of recent arguments, conflicts, and crises on technological innovations, e.g. geo-engineering or bio-economy;
• Improving the understanding of scientists’ responsibility for impacts of their professional activities;
• Embedding individual professional responsibility in social and political contexts.

The seminar will deal with current problems from areas such as innovation policy, energy, food systems, and raw materials. Issues will include the future of energy, food security and electronics. Historical issues will also be addressed.

The seminar will start with a profound overarching introduction. Issues will be introduced by a short presentation and a Q & A session, followed by group work on selected problems. All participants will have to prepare a presentation during the weekend seminar. The seminar will use inter alia interactive tools of teaching such as focus groups, simulations and presentations by students. Regular and active participation is required at all stages.

Scientists often like to believe that their work is non-political. Within this seminar we want to demonstrate how deeply both are interconnected and converged. Not only, scientific guidance is often needed to take a political decision but also scientific outcomes are a sub-ject to political interpretation. Also, politics are significantly influencing scientific progress by framing research agendas and by funding decisions.

Scientists often like to believe that their work is non-political. Within this seminar we want to demonstrate how deeply both are interconnected and converged. Not only, scientific guidance is often needed to take a political decision but also scientific outcomes are a sub-ject to political interpretation. Also, politics are significantly influencing scientific progress by framing research agendas and by funding decisions.

During this seminar we would like to show the different range of influences - scientific, economic, social, environmental, ethical/normative, security-related - affecting decision-making on science and politics. Using case studies on current debates on food security, public health, nuclear energy and terrorism to discuss the interrelation between science and politics illuminating the role of various actors in this process, such as:

• Governments,

• International organizations,

• Scientific associations,

• Industry,

• Civil society, and

• Individual scientists.

The guiding questions will be:

• How does and should science influence politics?

• How does and should politics influence science?

In order to take responsibility for the consequences of scientific work, engineers and scientists increasingly need to acknowledge the political dimension of their work and their role in the political process. We will address this political dimension of scientific work by discussing:

• Biographies and motivations of famous scientists,

• Individual responsibility of scientists for the implications of their work, and

• The role of codes of conduct as guidelines for responsible behaviour.

The goals of the seminar include:

• Raising awareness and increasing knowledge about the political dimensions of scientific work,

• Providing guidelines for evaluating political implications of scientific research,

• Improving the understanding of scientists’ and engineers’ responsibility for the results of their professional activities,

• Taking decisions at the institutional, national and international level about rules and regulations concerning scientific conduct, and

• Choosing arguments and defending positions in situations of conflicting interests.

The seminar will use current issues, such as dilemmas in the life sciences or bio fuels to demonstrate the problematic relationship between science and politics. The seminar, however, does not focus on providing in-depth knowledge of these current issues. We strongly discourage students that have participated in an “Ethics for Engineers” seminar to take this course, because the contents of the two seminars overlap.

Issues will be introduced by short presentations and a Q&A session, followed by group work on selected problems. All participants will have to prepare a presentation. Those requiring a graded certificate (“Schein”) additionally have to write a 3-4 page paper on selected issues. The seminar will use interactive tools of teaching such as role playing and simulations. Group work and active participation is expected at all stages of the seminar.

The group project: TUHH goes Circular addresses environmental challenges and studies non-technical aspects that support the circular economy and environmental initiatives. Topics are to be chosen matching the general scope of environmental challenges, i.e. the challenges of rising resource consumption and waste production. In a practical group task, students will gain experience in the research, design and execution of a sustainability action plan. Important aspects of action plan should be supported by scientific evidence and improved upon based on constructive feedback. In addition, students will be introduced to the importance of high-quality science communication for ecologically and socially sustainable development.

Desolate landscapes, destruction, violence - these are usually our first associations when we think of dystopias. But it is not that obvious. At first we often see an almost utopian-looking world without disease, without hunger, without poverty, in which many of our current problems have been solved. But the idyll is illusory and has its price.

What does this price look like? The seminar will focus on films in which technical progress and the development of artificial intelligence have opened up almost unlimited possibilities for people - to improve their living conditions, but also to gain complete control over them.

Who carries out this control? Is an individual life still possible? What about democratic structures? Do these films show us our future? How much freedom do we want to give up for a life that seems safe and carefree at first sight? And: Why are there no more social utopias? These questions, among others, will be focused in the discussion.

This seminar is intended to enable and promote social engagement for refugees and migrants and the social learning that goes along with it.

The term "social commitment for refugees" means active cooperation and participation in projects, initiatives or organizations that aim at supporting refugees/migrants in Germany. The recognition of activities within the framework of projects, initiatives or organizations with anti-democratic objectives is excluded.

The goal is "social learning within the framework of social commitment": On the one hand, this includes the acquisition or deepening of competencies on the part of the students through their commitment in the above-mentioned area; on the other hand, it includes the support/promotion/learning of the refugees/migrants through the competencies of the students.

In this course, students independently look for social projects in the above-mentioned sense and commit themselves for at least 50 hours. Previous social commitment in the above-mentioned area can be taken into account.

In this course, students engage in social projects for at least 50h. Previous social commitment in this field can be taken into account. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to exchange information with other students from the Social Learning seminars on their voluntary activities.

The participants will be closely accompanied and advised by the course instructor, especially in the search and selection of a suitable activity. Compulsory 20h of present teaching including consultation enable the students to reflect on the learning situation on site as well as their own competences in a reflection work / written elaboration

Obligatory 10 h of presence teaching including consulting time enable students to reflect the learning situation on site and their own competence in a structured and successful way, either accompanying or following their involvement in a reflection work / written elaboration  to be able to identify and evaluate their own learning process.

In addition, the participants are given the opportunity to specifically exchange information with other students from the Master's programs about their social activities.

Activities in projects, initiatives or organisations with anti-democratic objectives and in political parties are not accepted. In this course, students are volunteering in social projects for at least 32 hours. Previous social engagement in this field can be considered. In addition, participants are given the opportunity to exchange information with other students from the Social Learning seminars on their voluntary service. The participants will be closely accompanied and advised by the instructor, especially during the search and selection of a suitable activity. Obligatory 28 hours of presence teaching including counselling time enable students to critically reflect on their commitment. The focus is on the effects in society.

This seminar is intended to promote social engagement in the field of natural- and technical history and the associated social learning.

"Social commitment to preservation of historical cultural assets" means the active participation in projects, initiatives or organizations whose aim is to preserve natural-, social- and technological historical cultural assets. Possible contacts are natural history- and technology museums as well as monument protection foundations, which look after historic buildings, ships and port facilities or underground buildings. Activities in projects, initiatives or organisations with anti-democratic objectives and in political parties are not accepted.

In this course, students engage in social projects for at least 42h. Previous social commitment in this field can be taken into account. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to exchange information with other students from the Social Learning seminars on their voluntary activities.

The participants will be closely accompanied and advised by the course instructor, especially in the search and selection of a suitable activity. Compulsory 18h of present teaching including consultation enable the students to reflect on the learning situation on site as well as their own competences in a reflection work / written elaboration.

The world wide walkover of the internet dramatically changed the perception of classical media like newspapers, magazines and even TV. In this seminar the reasons of and the consequences for the dramatic changes regarding our information habits will be analyzed and discussed:

Taking a close look at the Middle East the political impact of the new media´s triumphal procession will be assessed and evaluated. How come that Twitter and Facebook on one hand facilitated the so called Arabic  Spring and caused hope for the rise of democracy in the region, while on the other hand the revolutionaries failed so dramatically - at least for now.

Keeping a close  eye on both fields, the Media and the Middle East, the seminar will discuss the standards of ethics in politics and journalism.

More than half world’s population live in cities. The UN estimates that by 2030 the figure will rise to 5 billion people. Cities are booming and „Urbanity“ is en vogue. But what is „Urbanity“? The specifics take on a tangible form when looking at the connections between people, buildings, materials, history and current affairs. This assemblage interlaces - at times invisibly - with technology. This seminar intensifies the view of properties, characteristics and qualities of cities. Various methods and perspectives of urban research from Social Science, Geography, Material Culture Studies, Art History and Cultural Anthropology will be presented.

Over the centuries, the philosophy is lined up as a discipline that provides complex and universal answers to contemporary history and circumstances. Often, she could design utopias that have led the way for political upheaval. While all scientific disciplines are subject to an increasing differentiation, the philosophy in the second half of the 20th century has lost its claim to universality. But what then are the topics of the philosophy of the 20th and 21st century and what impact have philosophical theories for processes of change?

We will provide an overview of Western philosophies of the 20th and 21st century. and take a critical look at the self-understanding of philosophy.

In the lecture methods for the reduction of emissions from industrial plants are treated. At the beginning a short survey of the different forms of air pollutants is given. In the second part physical principals for the removal of particulate and gaseous pollutants form flue gases are treated. Industrial applications of these principles are demonstrated with examples showing the removal of specific compounds, e.g. sulfur or mercury from flue gases of incinerators.

The lecture "Sustainability Management" gives an insight into the different aspects and dimensions of sustainability. First, essential terms and definitions, significant developments of the last years, and legal framework conditions are explained. The various aspects of sustainability are then presented and discussed in detail. The lecture mainly focuses on concepts for the implementation of the topic sustainability in companies:

• What is "sustainability"?
• Why is this concept an important topic for companies?
• What opportunities and business risks are addressed or are associated with it?
• How can the often mentioned three pillars of sustainability - economy, ecology, and social- be meaningfully integrated into corporate management despite their sometimes contradictory tendencies, and how a corresponding compromise can be found?
• What concepts or frameworks exist for the implementation of sustainability management in companies?
• Which sustainability labels exist for products or companies? What do they have in common, and where do they differ?

Furthermore, the lecture is intended to provide insights into the concrete implementation of sustainability aspects into business practice. External lecturers from companies will be invited to report on how sustainability is integrated into their daily processes.

In the course of an independently carried out group work, the students will analyze and discuss the implementation of sustainability aspects based on short case studies. By studying and comparing best practice examples, the students will learn about corporate decisions' effects and implications. It should become clear which risks or opportunities are associated if sustainability aspects are taken into account in management decisions.

As an introduction cases are presented in which geochemical engineering was used to solve environmental problems. Environmentally important minerals are discussed and methods for their detection. It is demonstrated how solution equilibria can be modified to eliminate elevated concentrations of unwanted species in solution and how carbon dioxide concentration affects pH and the dissolution of carbonate minerals. Modifications of redox conditions, pH, and electrolyte concentration are shown to be effective tools for controlling the mobility and fate of hazardous species in the environment.
