Program description

Content

One of the main challenges in modern society is the reliable, environmentally benign and sustainable supply of energy. An efficient energy supply is moreover essential to secure the economic future of the country.

The exponential increase in world population, the raised living standards and the continuously increasing hunger for feedstocks, acreage and energy make the sustainable handling of natural resources imperative. This includes the reduction of emissions and the minimization of environmental impact. An example with growing significance is the control of the CO2 emissions that are responsible for the greenhouse effect. For this, possibilities are sought after that bring energy savings or involve increased use of renewable energy sources. In a continued utilization of fossil fuels the reduction of CO2 emissions is pursued by increasing efficiency and also through separation and underground storage of the CO2 emitted. The latter approaches make a close cooperation between Energy Engineering and Environmental Engineering unavoidable.

The consecutive degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering had been started already in the beginning of the century in the form of a corresponding Diploma course. The motivation for this development was on the one hand the increasing significance of environmental protection through CO2 separation in large power stations and, on the other, the growing supply of electricity from regenerative energy sources. Both these key developments in electricity generation are taken into consideration in designing the Bachelor course. Not only for the CO2 separation technologies but also for other environmental protection purposes, as for example air pollution protection, a wide spectrum of chemistry lectures is incorporated and this contrasts markedly the classical power station engineering curriculum. Renewable electricity generation is covered in the Bachelor degree from a generalist viewpoint only. First in the Master degree of Energy and Environmental Engineering special renewable energy topics are included, to expand the conventional energy systems engineering curriculum. At Master level and in addition to the above mentioned air pollution prevention, also the environmental protection of water and soils are covered.

The Bachelor of Energy and Environmental Engineering conveys a wide and well-founded multidisciplinary fundamental knowledge in the disciplines of Energy Engineering and of Environmental Engineering. This includes a well-grounded understanding over the basic methods of engineering (mathematics, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, chemistry, process engineering, materials engineering and engineering construction). Moreover, basic skills in environmental assessment and environmental technology and particle technology, along with non-technical subjects, are conveyed. These provide necessary qualifications for elaborating the supporting processes during system development. At the skills level the Bachelor degree prepares the student for a Master study or even a PhD research, too, so that after graduation also professional qualifications suitable for a potential future research career are gained.


Career prospects

The operating conditions of the energy market and the environmental protection are subjected to increasingly accelerating changes. To account for this in the degree study, special attention is given to convey future-proof knowledge. This enables the students to be easily adaptable to market changes, so that also in future developments they can react autonomously, adapt successfully to their desired placement targets and extend their professional horizons independently. Towards this aim the Bachelor of Energy and Environmental Engineering covers a wide scientific and methodological basis curriculum.

The graduates, after completion of the study program, possess a wide spectrum of fundamental knowledge in the subject areas of energy systems and environmental engineering. They are thus in a position to articulate the fundamental principles of modelling and simulating energy conversion systems encompassing energy, mass and momentum transport processes, while they pay particular attention to sustainability. The graduates are able to analyze energy processes, evaluate the energetically and economically optimal operation of energy systems, draw balances of energy plants and comprehend the technical and economic interplay between conventional and renewable energy technologies. The graduates are in a position to describe the construction, operation and organization of power plants and to explain the constructive characteristics of energy systems and their components. They can also master the automatic control measures used. They can identify the environmental impact in general and develop specific strategies for mitigating the various environmental risks emanating from industrial plant. The students obtain practice in critically studying a problem of their discipline, classify it within their subject area and orally elaborate suitable solution procedures.

The graduates are in a position to undertake responsibly engineering tasks in various activity fields within energy and environmental engineering and carry them out competently. They are allowed to use the professional title “Ingenieur/Ingenieurin“ in accordance with the legal framework (IngG) of the German Federal Lands. They furthermore acquire the necessary scientific knowledge for a subsequent, deeper Master study.

Continuous interaction with Industry within the framework of joint research or through further contact opportunities enables to closely follow the increasingly accelerating changes in qualification profiling demanded by the market. This facilitates the continuous adjustment of the curricular contents of the Bachelor of Energy and Environmental Engineering to the prevailing market conditions.


Learning target

The Bachelor of Energy and Environmental Engineering endeavors to give to the graduate not only a professional qualification but also prepare the student for a consecutive Master study program. The essential basic methodological skills to do this are conveyed through a combination of basic and advanced learning modules from Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering and Environmental Engineering.

Through contributions in the lectures by professional engineers from industry, by using software tools established in the praxis for performing simplified tutorials or by means of on-site visits, the students are able to acquire during their study a realistic overview of the multifaceted professional field of Energy and Environmental Engineering. This strengthens the future career chances of the graduates substantially. The possibility to perform external Bachelor thesis work offers an additional exposure to real professional practice.

The graduates can undertake engineering tasks in various fields of activity in energy and environmental engineering and complete them responsibly and competently. In addition, they acquire the necessary scientific skills for a subsequent more focused Master study.

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,

Skills

Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

  • apply basic methods of the said scientific disciplines,

  • 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 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

Content

In the physics lab a number of key experiments on physical phenomena in mechanics, oscillatory and wave motion, thermodynamics, electricity, and optics will be conducted by the students under assistance of a lecturing tutor. The experiments are part of the physics education program presented in the course "Physics for TUHH-VT Engineers".

Beyond teaching of fundamental physical background the objectives are basic skills in preparation and performing physical measurements, usage of physical equipment, analysis of the results and preparation of a report on the experimental data. The students receive instructions in terms of scientific writing as well as feedback on their own reports and level of scientific writing.

Before every experiment an colloquium takes place in which the students explain and discuss the theoretical background and its translation into practice with the corresponding experiment.

The experiment demonstrates the effect of ionic strength on the binding of dissolved zinc and phosphate by soil surfaces. From the results it can be inferred that the potential of soil surfaces is modified by the application of salt. This has consequences for the retention of nutrients and pollutants. The experiment is carried out with iron oxide rich soil material.

Within the lab course students discuss the various technical and scientific tasks, both subject-specific and multidisciplinary. They discuss different approaches to the task as well as it's theoretical or practical implementation.

  • "Heat Transfer"
  • "Fluid Mechanics"
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The students can evaluate the development of the electricity demand and the energy conversion routes in the thermal power plant, describe the various types of power plant and the layout of the steam generator block. They are also able to determine the operation characteristics of the power plant. Additionally they can describe the exhaust gas cleaning apparatus and the combination possibilities of conventional fossil-fuelled power plants with solar thermal and geothermal power plants or plants equipped with Carbon Capture and Storage.

The students have basic knowledge about the principles, operation and design of turbomachinery

Skills

The students will be able, using theories and methods of the energy technology from fossil fuels and based on well-founded knowledge on the function and construction of gas and steam power plants, to identify basic associations in the production of heat and electricity, so as to develop conceptual solutions. Through analysis of the problem and exposure to the inherent interplay between heat and power generation the students are endowed with the capability and methodology to develop realistic optimal concepts for the generation of electricity and the production of heat. From the technical basics the students become the ability to follow better the deliberations on the electricity mix composition within the energy-political triangle (economy, secure supply and environmental protection).

Within the framework of the exercise the students learn the use of the specialised software suite EBSILON ProfessionalTM. With this tool small practical tasks are solved with the PC, to highlight aspects of the design and development of power plant cycles.

The students are able to do simplified calculations on turbomachinery either as part of a plant, as single component or at stage level.

Personal Competence
Social Competence An excursion within the framework of the lecture is planned for students that are interested. The students get in this manner direct contact with a modern power plant in this region. The students will obtain first-hand experience with a power plant in operation and gain insights into the conflicts between technical and political issues.
Autonomy

The students assisted by the tutors will be able to develop alone simple simulation models and run with these scenario analyses. In this manner the theoretical and practical knowledge from the lecture is consolidated and the potential effects from different process combinations and boundary conditions highlighted. The students are able independently to analyse the operational performance of steam power plants and calculate selected quantities and characteristic curves.
