Program description
Content
The Master degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering is based on the fundamental skills acquired in the Bachelor degree with the same name. After a joint familiarization in core competences in energy and environmental engineering, the students have the possibility to specialize by choosing independently lectures from three disciplines: Energy Engineering, Environmental Engineering or Energy and Environmental Engineering.
A further goal of the Master of Energy and Environmental Engineering is to prepare the graduates by also strengthening interpersonal competences through practice in technical communication. The theoretical knowledge is supplemented by practical laboratory courses. In addition, skills are conveyed that allow a subsequent appointment in a responsible position in industry or research.
Career prospects
After successful graduation the graduates are in a position to interpret in depth methods and techniques from the core disciplines of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and process engineering. They also possess well-founded knowledge in energy engineering and environmental engineering, encompassing both conventional and renewable energy sources. The theoretical skills are complemented by practical assignments within laboratory courses and seminars. The graduates are in a position to utilize specialist methods and tools, to draw whole process balances and design the corresponding apparatus. They can identify the environmental impact in general and develop specific strategies for mitigating the various environmental pressures emanating from industrial plant. The students become practice in critically studying a problem from their discipline, classifying it within their subject area and orally elaborate suitable solution procedures.
The graduates are in a position to undertake responsibly engineering tasks in various fields of activity within energy and environmental engineering and carry them out competently. They can perform engineering work in industry or embark into a research career.
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 Master study in Energy and Environmental Engineering to the prevailing market conditions.
Learning target
Knowledge
Knowledge consists of facts, basic fundamentals and theories, which are conveyed during the Master of Energy and Environmental Engineering in the following manner:
- The graduates obtain the capability to describe at greater depth methods and procedures from the core subjects Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Process Engineering, as an enabling basis for embarking in more advanced courses in energy and environmental engineering. The latter cover conventional as well as renewable energy.
- The specialist theoretical knowledge of the graduates is strengthened through practical assignments (laboratory practical courses and seminars).
- The graduates can describe the structure, operation and organization of conventional and regenerative energy plants and describe the construction characteristics of their components. They are competent to identify the facets for an energetically and economically optimal operation of energy systems, while also considering the additional criteria for conserving resources and enabling sustainability, environmental compatibility and cost effectiveness.
- The graduates are able to assess the environmental impact and choose suitable means for minimizing environmental risks and achieve resource savings.
- In the framework of a project course the graduates are trained in solving in teamwork complex process engineering assignments.
- Through the non-technical lectures or the Master thesis the graduates are put in a position to expand their knowledge beyond the purely technical level and win a social perspective on the profession.
Skills
The ability to utilize learnt knowledge for solving specific problems is strengthened in the Master of Energy and Environmental Engineering in various ways:
- The graduates are able to tackle the balancing and design configuration of processes and their components, by using appropriate specialized methods and tools.
- The graduates can convert an orally expressed context into an abstract formal description, to break down a general problem description to partial problems within their discipline or adjoining disciplines, in order to then select the most suitable method for solving the problem.
- The graduates are competent to identify the goals of an energy technical project, a plant or the society as a whole, aimed at satisfying the energy demand in a balanced and sustainable manner. They can set responsibly priorities and select the optimal problem solution approaches.
- The graduates have learned to consider critically a problem from their specialization, to categorize it within their discipline and orally explain solution approaches.
Social skills
Social competence includes the individual ability and desire to work together with others in achieving set targets, to consider the interests of others, to express oneself clearly, and ultimately to contribute to the common work and living environments.
- The graduates can find themselves within a disciplinary homogeneous team, work out a solution approach, undertake specific partial tasks and deliver responsibly part results. They can also deliberate on their own contribution.
- The graduates are capable to undertake responsibility within the group, to contribute to the group effort and discuss and present their results.
- The graduates know how to interactively and multidisciplinary discuss the results of their scientific work, to present them to an audience and defend them.
- The graduates are able to communicate with specialists and the public on contents and problems in energy and environmental engineering. They can respond appropriately to questions, additions and comments on it.
Independence
The interpersonal skills encompass, beyond autonomous handling, also the ability to further develop one’s own capacity to act. Also included are the capability and preparedness to reflect on the work of others and contribute one’s own share in specialized discussions:
- The graduates can investigate independently a narrowly focused part of energy and environmental engineering and summarize in a seminar the results in detail, using current presentation techniques or a written essay observing the fundamental principles of good scientific practice.
- The graduates can work autonomously and deliver results on time.
- The graduates are able to perform responsibly research assignments under time constraints and with limited resources, embodying all knowledge obtained during the study program. They also undertake full responsibility for the deliverables.
Program structure
- Teaching of advanced knowledge supplementary to the Bachelor of Energy and Environmental Engineering for deepening the core qualification (36 LP of compulsory lectures, including also the practical course in Energy and Environmental Engineering) and further strengthening of the specialist and interpersonal competences already acquired during the Bachelor.
- Advanced lectures in the framework of three branches of study (elective lectures). The students must choose, depending on their particularly chosen study focus, a total of always 3 Modules à 6 LP from each of the available thematic areas: Energy Systems (a total of 30 LP are available), Environmental Technology (a total of 36 LP are available) and Energy and Environmental Engineering (a total of 78 LP are available). The elective part of the curriculum includes also a total of 10 LP of practical courses.
- The Master thesis (compulsory).
The modules that belong to the Master of Energy and Environmental Engineering are in turn allocated as follows:
• Mathematical, natural scientific and engineering fundamentals and applications (seven modules)
o six Process Engineering modules
o one module on Environmental Protection and Management.
• Engineering applications (20 modules)
o five modules on thermal energy systems
o one module on electrical engineering
o four modules on renewable energies
o four modules on water and wastewater engineering
o four modules on environmental engineering
o two modules on the acquisition of practical skills (Practical Course on Energy and Environmental Engineering, Seminar Energy and Environmental Engineering).
• Interdisciplinary lectures from the non-technical catalogue (two modules)
o Business and Management
o Nontechnical Elective Complementary Courses for Master.
In addition the students have to complete the following modules:
• Process Design Project in the 3th semester
• Master thesis in the 4th semester.
The Master of Energy and Environmental Engineering places the emphasis on advancing the mathematical and natural scientific as well as engineering qualifications of the students and expose them to applications. Particular focus is placed on the advanced study directions of Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering, which can be studied in Module ratios of 3:6, 4:5, 5:4 or 6:3. It is furthermore provided that during the preparation of projects such as the Seminar Energy and Environmental Engineering or the Process Design Project additional “soft skills” are conveyed. At the endof the course the capacity for independent scientific work is attained through the Master thesis.
Core qualification
The Master course in Energy and Environmental Engineering aims at preparing the students for addressing successfully energy and environmental problems. The curriculum combines wide specialised process engineering and mechanical engineering syllabuses with a scientific education specialisation. The degree is focused at the requirements of the ensuing professional praxis, as these emerge from the technical, economic, ecologic and societal developments. In addition, the students must choose compulsory elective lectures within the three specialisation paths available. In this selection you may choose to place the focus either on Environmental Technology, on Renewable Energies or on Conventional Energy Systems without, however, neglecting the other two subject areas.
As basis qualification and on the basis of compulsory lectures become all graduates deep and extensive engineering knowledge in the fundamental subject areas of transport processes and fluid mechanics. The theoretical knowledge is supplemented by a related to real life practical laboratory course. This laboratory course covers subjects from both energy systems and environmental technology.
A further key aspect within the basis qualification for the degree are technical communication skills. These are cultivated within the framework of the Seminar in Energy and Environmental Engineering, a course that strengthens the “soft skills” of the graduates and prepares them for independent working.
The technical content of the basis qualification is complemented by a number of non-technical supplementary courses as well as compulsory elective Business & Management lectures. These widen the horizon and expertise of the graduates with qualifications which are important for a successful subsequent entry into the profession.

Knowledge |
The Nontechnical 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, communication studies, migration 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.

Educational Objectives | After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results |
Professional Competence | |
Knowledge |
The practical course aims at consolidating the knowledge obtained in the Bachelor Energy and Environmental Engineering. Aim is the application of methods and techniques for the analysis and evaluation of test results in the praxis. Special emphasis is given to the quantitative evaluation of the environmental impact from energy and industrial systems. By performing laboratory experiments the students are exposed to taking reliable measurements in real equipment and get training in the reporting and quality assurance of the measurement results. From the parameters being monitored they conclude quantitatively on key performance indices of the test facility. The students formulate subsequently a laboratory report with the conclusions and the critical evaluation of the rig. Within the framework of team work the students learn to analyse and evaluate the plant and the physical and chemical phenomena tested. By means of presentations on the test procedures followed and the results obtained, accompanied by discussion and critical results’ evaluation, the students practice furthermore technical communication and professional argumentation. |
Skills |
The participants must take within the group responsibility for partial aspects of the practical course, which in case of inadequate fulfilment may have negative consequences for the whole group. In this manner the sense of responsibility together with the teamwork and communication abilities of the participants are cultivated and their ability to undertake leadership responsibilities strengthened. In addition, the participants are trained in the compilation of test transcripts and the analysis and critical evaluation of measurements, taken in part at large facilities. In this way they are exposed to plant scales corresponding to the later profession. Out of the requirement to prepare laboratory transcripts on the experiments, the students practice written technical communication skills. In the framework of certain experiments the students must also cultivate presentation skills, to present technical aspects of the tests performed and discuss them technically. In this process it is expected that students exercise an analytic and critical way of thinking. |
Personal Competence | |
Social Competence |
The organising together in a group of the test analysis and the preparation of the transcript for the experiment in direct responsibility strengthen the social competence of the group participants. The definition of the solution methodologies and the splitting to sub-problems takes place in teamwork. For the preparation of the joint transcript and the reaching of the final conclusions over the experiment performed, communication as well as teamworking abilities are essential. |
Autonomy |
Each student must contribute to the selection of the transcript author(s) and to the planning and timely performance of the analysis and evaluation of the results. The short presentations of the results for certain experiments are, in turn, direct personal contributions of the individual student. |

Specialization Energy and Environmental Engineering
In this specialisation path three Modules must be chosen out of a number of compulsory selective lectures covering a wide spectrum of practically relevant aspects of both Energy Systems and Environmental Technology. With the chosen Modules the student can focus in Energy Systems, Environmental Technology or even a combination of both subject areas.
On the one hand the graduates obtain further extensive knowledge over key aspects of Energy Systems – both conventional as well as renewable. On the other hand, they become in-depth coverage of environmental engineering aspects relating to solid wastes handling and wastewater technology. This includes also the sustainable utilisation of resources, so that an environmentally friendly energy generation can occur.
The curriculum is further complemented by lectures in thematically relevant subjects. These encompass solid particle technology, wastewater analysis and membrane technology, which play a fundamental role in Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering.
The specialisation path is rounded up with participation in a process design project, in which the students learn how to work together for solving a complex process engineering problem and how to use specialised tools for designing processes. They also experience what obstacles may be faced and difficulties tackled, whilst designing a process.Module M0801: Water Resources and -Supply |

Content |
The lecture on membrane technology supply provides students with a broad understanding of existing membrane treatment processes, encompassing pressure driven membrane processes, membrane application in electrodialyis, pervaporation as well as membrane distillation. The lectures main focus is the industrial production of drinking water like particle separation or desalination; however gas separation processes as well as specific wastewater oriented applications such as membrane bioreactor systems will be discussed as well. Initially, basics in low pressure and high pressure membrane applications are presented (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis). Students learn about essential water quality parameter, transport equations and key parameter for pore membrane as well as solution diffusion membrane systems. The lecture sets a specific focus on fouling and scaling issues and provides knowledge on methods how to tackle with these phenomena in real water treatment application. A further part of the lecture deals with the character and manufacturing of different membrane materials and the characterization of membrane material by simple methods and advanced analysis. The functions, advantages and drawbacks of different membrane housings and modules are explained. Students learn how an industrial membrane application is designed in the succession of treatment steps like pre-treatment, water conditioning, membrane integration and post-treatment of water. Besides theory, the students will be provided with knowledge on membrane demo-site examples and insights in industrial practice. |

Knowledge |
The students outline the thermodynamic and chemical fundamentals of combustion processes. From the knowledge of the characteristics and reaction kinetics of various fuels they can describe the behaviour of premixed flames and non-premixed flames, in order to describe the fundamentals of furnace design in gas-, oil- and coal combustion plant. The students are furthermore able to describe the formation of NOx and the primary NOx reduction measures, and evaluate the impact of regulations and allowable limit levels. The students present the layout, design and operation of Combined Heat and Power plants and are in a position to compare with each other district heating plants with back-pressure steam turbine or condensing turbine with pressure-controlled extraction tapping, CHP plants with gas turbine or with combined steam and gas turbine, or even district heating plants with an internal combustion engine. They can explain and analyse aspects of combined heat, power and cooling (CCHP) and describe the layout of the key components needed. Through this specialised knowledge they are able to evaluate the ecological significance of district CHP generation, as well as its economics. |
||||||||
Skills |
Using thermodynamic calculations and considering the reaction kinetics the students will be able to determine interdisciplinary correlations between thermodynamic and chemical processes during combustion. This then enables quantitative analysis of the combustion of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels and determination of the quantities and concentrations of the exhaust gases. In this module the first step toward the utilisation of an energy source (combustion) to provide usable energy (electricity and heat) is taught. An understanding of both procedures enables the students to holistically consider energy utilisation. Examples taken from the praxis, such as the CHP energy supply facility of the TUHH and the district heating network of Hamburg will be used, to highlight the potential from electricity generation plants with simultaneous heat extraction. Within the framework of the exercises the students will first learn to calculate the energetic and mass balances of combustion processes. Moreover, the students will gain a deeper understanding of the combustion processes by the calculation of reaction kinetics and fundamentals of burner design. In order to perform further analyses they will familiarise themselves to the specialised software suite EBSILON ProfessionalTM. With this tool small and close to reality tasks are solved on the PC, to highlight aspects of the design and balancing of heating plant cycles. In addition CHP will also be considered in its economic and social contexts. |

Content |
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. |
