Program description

Content

Climate change, high energy and resource consumption, disruption of ecosystems and a steadily growing world population are the challenges that humanity is already facing today. What the world of tomorrow will look like thus depends decisively on what solutions we find in dealing with these developments.

The degree programme "Green Technologies: Energy, Water, Climate" addresses precisely these issues. By combining specialist knowledge with technical and communication skills, we train engineers who think in an interdisciplinary and solution-oriented way. The focus is on "green" technologies for a sustainable, climate and resource-friendly energy and water supply.

In the first three semesters, the focus is on learning the basics of mathematics, mechanics, chemistry, computer science, thermodynamics as well as meteorology and climate. In the further course, the study programme is then expanded to include basic engineering subjects and the topics of regenerative energies as well as water supply and treatment. From the fourth semester onwards, you can choose a subject focus according to your personal interests. You can choose from the four specialisations "Energy Systems", "Water", "Bioresource Technology" or "Energy Technology".

And of course you can also start a Master's programme. The specialisations of the Bachelor's programme are compiled and coordinated in such a way that you are optimally prepared for a further Master's programme and a seamless transition to subsequent Master's programmes at TU Hamburg is made possible.

The study programme "Green Technologies: Energy, Water, Climate" offers an engineering education in the energy-water-climate nexus that is unique in Germany. To this end, the study programme combines the competences of energy technology, process technology and sustainable supply and disposal engineering with natural science disciplines.
With the Bachelor's degree, you acquire your first academic degree that qualifies you for a profession and you become an engineer. You can already start your professional life.


Career prospects

The study programme Green Technologies: Energy, Water, Climate trains engineers for whom there will be a high demand today and in the future. The spectrum of employers ranges from engineering and planning offices, energy suppliers and water supply and disposal companies to industrial companies and public authorities, but also research institutions.


Learning target

The bachelor's degree programme Green Technologies: Energy, Water, Climate is designed to prepare students both for a professional activity and for a relevant consecutive master's degree programme. The basic methodological knowledge required for this is acquired during the study programme. The learning objectives of the degree programme are achieved through an interplay of basic and advanced modules from mechanical engineering, process engineering, hydraulic engineering and renewable energies.
Through the participation of professional engineers from industry in lectures, through experimental laboratory practicals and the exchange with lecturers from the University of Hamburg in the field of climate and meteorology, the students are able to develop a realistic relationship to the diverse professional field of climate, environmental, water and energy technology during their studies. This significantly increases the graduates' later career opportunities and enables them to help shape our world of tomorrow.
Graduates will be able to responsibly and competently perform an engineering job in various fields of activity in green and future-oriented technologies. In addition, they acquire the necessary scientific knowledge for a subsequent, in-depth Master's degree, which can be studied consecutively based on the chosen specialisation.
Knowledge
The knowledge acquired during the study programme enables graduates to understand the phenomena occurring in the subject areas of green technologies and related disciplines. They have understood the basic principles of climate, urban water management, conventional and renewable energy systems, with particular reference to sustainability and environmental protection. Knowledge is constituted by facts, principles and theories and is acquired in the Bachelor's degree programme Green Technologies in the following areas:
- Graduates are able to reproduce basic knowledge in the scientific and engineering fields of mathematics, chemistry, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, computer science, electrical engineering, control engineering and heat and mass transfer.
- Graduates are able to outline and discuss fundamental methods and procedures for solving or approximating iterative decision and optimisation problems, such as differentiation, gradient-based procedures, testing hypotheses, as well as their analysis in terms of complexity, convergence and goodness.
- Through further specialised knowledge of the subject area (energy systems, water, bioresource technology or energy technology), they can further deepen their learned content with a focus on climate and environmental impact and develop procedures for solving environmental issues.
- Graduates are able to describe the construction, operation and organisation of conventional and regenerative energy plants and their components, including the control concepts used in the process. They are able to recognise the challenges of the energetically and economically optimised operation of energy plants, taking into account the additional criteria of resource conservation, sustainability, environmental compatibility and economic efficiency.
- Graduates will be able to investigate suitable technical alternatives in their professional life in order to minimise the environmental and social footprint of their engineering work and effectively support the energy transition.
- Graduates will be able to gain knowledge and skills beyond engineering for their profession through non-technical events.
Skills
The ability to apply learned knowledge to solve specific problems is supported in many ways in the Bachelor's degree programme Green Technologies:
- Graduates are able to master relevant, specialised methods and tools, to assess their predictability and complexity and to implement them using suitable programming tools from current practice.

- Graduates are able to understand and further analyse climate processes, describe facilities and processes in the field of green technologies, balance energy systems and identify technical as well as economic relationships between conventional and renewable energy technologies.
- Graduates can identify and describe environmental impacts in general and develop control strategies of environmental pollution from industrial plants. This is also based on experience from related fields of measurement technology and process and environmental engineering.
- Graduates have the ability to identify the objectives of an engineering project, a green technology operation or society for a balanced and sustainable coverage of energy, water and resource needs and to responsibly prioritise in finding the optimal solution approach.
- Graduates are able to present the approach and results of their work in writing and explain them orally. They have mastered presentation techniques and have practised technical communication.
- Graduates are able to independently plan and conduct experiments and interpret the results.
- Graduates are able to apply measurement, control and regulation technology or constructive methods.
- Graduates have the ability to develop designs for processes, machines and apparatus according to specified requirements.
Social competence
Social competence includes the individual ability and willingness to work together with others in a goal-oriented manner, to understand the interests of others, to communicate and to help shape the working and living environment.
- Graduates can organise themselves in a professionally homogeneous team, work out a solution, take on specific subtasks and responsibly deliver partial results, and reflect on their own contribution.
- Graduates are able to discuss their scientific work results interactively and interdisciplinarily, to present them in front of the plenum and to defend them.
- Graduates are able to communicate about the contents and problems of energy and environmental technology with experts and laypersons.
Independence
Personal competences include not only the competence to act independently, but also to further develop one's own ability to act.  
- Graduates can independently explore a narrowly defined sub-area of green technologies and summarise the results in detail in a presentation using common presentation techniques or in an essay of several pages. Critical analysis and not mere memorisation is required.
- Graduates are able to realistically assess their existing competences and work on deficits independently.
- Graduates are able to organise and carry out projects independently.
- Graduates are able to work independently on subject-specific sub-projects in a Bachelor's thesis using what they have learned during their studies.
- Graduates are able to independently obtain necessary information from suitable literature sources and to assess their quality.
- Graduates are able to evaluate technical problems in a larger social context and assess the non-technical effects of engineering activities.


Program structure

The curriculum of the Bachelor's degree programme Green Technologies: Energy, Water, Climate, which was designed as an undergraduate degree programme, consists mainly of compulsory courses. Elective options are provided for in the supplementary courses of the non-technical area.
In the first three semesters, the focus is on learning basic knowledge in the areas of mathematics, mechanics, chemistry, computer science, thermodynamics as well as meteorology and climate. Furthermore, the topics and applications of green technologies are taught in a module strand "Green Technologies" in the first, third and fifth semesters.
In the further course, the study programme is then expanded to include basic engineering subjects and the topics of regenerative energies as well as water supply and treatment. From the fourth semester onwards, you can choose a subject focus according to your personal interests. You can choose from the four specialisations "Energy Systems", "Water", "Bioresource Technology" or "Energy Technology".
Structure of the degree programme:
- Mathematical-scientific basics (five modules)
- Fundamentals of engineering (ten modules)
- Green Technologies: Fundamentals of Climate and Environmental Engineering (three modules)
- Engineering Applications in Water and Energy (three modules).
- Electives in the specialisations "Energy Systems", "Water", "Bioresource Technology" or "Energy Technology" (five modules)
The following content from the non-technical area is added:
- One module on business administration
- Further supplementary courses from the non-technical compulsory elective catalogue (one module)
The scope of the Bachelor's programme in Energy and Environmental Engineering thus comprises 28 modules. These are divided into 26 subject modules and two non-technical supplementary modules. The programme is based on a broad mathematical-physical and scientific foundation. It also ensures that the theoretical basic knowledge is deepened and applied in the subjects of green technologies and engineering applications. In addition, the Bachelor's thesis is the module that concludes the degree programme.

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

The Non-technical Academic Programms (NTA)

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

The Learning Architecture

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

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

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

Teaching and Learning Arrangements

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

Fields of Teaching

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

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

The Competence Level

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

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

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

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

Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

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

Personal Competences (Social Skills)

Students will be able

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


Autonomy

Personal Competences (Self-reliance)

Students are able in selected areas

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

Prior to each experiment, an oral colloquium takes place in small groups. In the colloquium are security aspects of the experiments are discussed, as well as the topics of the experiments. Solutions to previously provided questions are answered. In the colloquia the students acquire the skill to express scientific matters orally in a scientifically correct language and to describe theoretical basics.

The students write up a report for every experiment. They receive feedback to their level of scientific writing (citation methods, labeling of graphs, etc.), so that they can improve their competence in this field over the course of the practical course.

Content

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

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

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

This lecture addresses the mechanisms by which price formation works in global and national energy markets. For this purpose, the global price formation mechanism for crude oil and for natural gas and coal is explained. The national energy markets (e.g. power exchange, gas markets) are also discussed. The legal framework, which is ultimately decisive for market price formation, is always addressed. In this context, the various instruments with which the energy markets are to be influenced in such a way that climate protection already takes effect with market-based measures are also discussed. The expected future development/change of the energy markets against the background of the increasing use of renewable energies will also be addressed.

Professional Competence
Knowledge

On completion of this module, students will be able to analyze and evaluate projects / project ideas from an economic and environmental point of view; i.e. they will be able to systematize / analyze an intended / planned project on the basis of certain criteria and then, with the help of economic and environmental instruments, evaluate such planned projects on the basis of the specific provision costs and selected environmental parameters. Such an approach includes a basic knowledge in the field of economic calculations (e.g. static and dynamic methods) on the one hand and a basic understanding in relation to the preparation of a life cycle assessment / an eco balance on the other hand. In addition, there is the knowledge to implement these instruments for corresponding specific use cases through balance boundaries to be drawn independently by the students and to interpret the results accordingly.

Skills

The students are able to apply the methods for an economic evaluation (e.g. annuity method) and for an environmental evaluation (e.g. life cycle assessment / eco balance) to different types of projects - and this related to various frame conditions. They will then be able to evaluate corresponding projects (including energy projects, chemical projects) in economic and environmental terms - and on the basis of this - in a systemic manner, and to make statements about the corresponding economic and environmental limitations. Additionally, students are able to orally explain issues from the subject area, approaches to dealing with them, and place them in their respective context.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to investigate suitable technical projects and ultimately evaluate them based on economic and environmental evaluation criteria - and thus finally under a wide range of sustainability aspects.

Autonomy

Students will be able to independently access various sources about the field, acquire knowledge, and transform it to address new issues.

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

The students, based on a literature survey, learn to study in detail a subject theme from the disciplines of green technologies and deliver afterwards a summary presentation to a specialised audience. Environmental issues and their multidisciplinary linkages are preferred, when selecting the thematic area of these studies. Through their own written contribution the students communicate an overview over the subject and practice technical writing. With the discussion the students practice scientific debating on a specialised subject matter.

Skills

The students can, when working on a technical topic not familiar to them:

  • conduct a literature survey
  • choose the relevant information for their presentation
  • prepare a written summary
  • present results in front of peers and staff
  • correctly cite and reference sources.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

The students practice a critical assessment of the literature in a predefined specialised theme and learn to give presentations on their own technical sub-topic tailored to their public and discuss with the audience. When attending technical presentations, the students can formulate questions to other speakers and participate in the ensuing discussion.

The fulfilment of the tasks combines independent work with group and teamwork.

Autonomy

The students can, guided by instructors, critically reflect on their learning and work status, and write a scientific report.

Content

In the management tutorial, the contents of the lecture will be deepened by practical examples and the application of the discussed tools.

If there is adequate demand, a problem-oriented tutorial will be offered in parallel, which students can choose alternatively. Here, students work in groups on self-selected projects that focus on the elaboration of an innovative business idea from the point of view of an established company or a startup. Again, the business knowledge from the lecture should come to practical use. The group projects are guided by a mentor.

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

The students, based on a literature survey, learn to study in detail a subject theme from the disciplines of green technologies and deliver afterwards a summary presentation to a specialised audience. Environmental issues and their multidisciplinary linkages are preferred, when selecting the thematic area of these studies. Through their own written contribution the students communicate an overview over the subject and practice technical writing. With the discussion the students practice scientific debating on a specialised subject matter.

Skills

The students can, when working on a technical topic not familiar to them:

  • conduct a literature survey
  • choose the relevant information for their presentation
  • prepare a written summary
  • present results in front of peers and staff
  • correctly cite and reference sources.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

The students practice a critical assessment of the literature in a predefined specialised theme and learn to give presentations on their own technical sub-topic tailored to their public and discuss with the audience. When attending technical presentations, the students can formulate questions to other speakers and participate in the ensuing discussion.

The fulfilment of the tasks combines independent work with group and teamwork.

Autonomy

The students can, guided by instructors, critically reflect on their learning and work status, and write a scientific report.

Module Responsible Prof. Dr. Stefan Bühler
Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge

- obligatory: none
- Recommended: basic knowledge of mathematics and physics acquired in the beginning semesters and knowledge from Introduction to Meteorology. Expertise in climate physics and statistics is not required.

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

The lecture "Climate Physics" starts with the definition of the terms climate and climate system. Then other important terms such as climate forcing and climate feedback are clarified. We then examine the Earth's radiative budget, which ultimately determines climate. Chapter 3 deals with the central issue of climate sensitivity, how much does the planet warm for a given radiative forcing? This leads to the important topic of climate feedbacks, which are discussed in the following chapters: Water Vapor, Temperature Gradient, and Ice Albedo in Chapter 4, then Clouds and Biosphere in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 deals with the Ocean and Cryosphere subsystems and their role in the climate system. Then comes the topic of material cycles in chapter 7, with a particular focus on the cycles of water and carbon. The carbon cycle provides a natural perspective on the entire Earth system history, the topic of the eighth and last lecture chapter. In the exercises the acquired knowledge is used to solve simple problems.


Skills

The students are familiar with the basic thinking and methods of climate physics and meteorological statistics. They know the importance of the different climate system components in the climate system and have understood the material cycles in the climate system (water, carbon cycle). They are able to qualitatively record processes in the climate system (trends, fluctuations). They are familiar with the basic methods of climate system analysis and know which model types can be used to describe the dynamics of the climate system.


Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students will be able to discuss problems in the topics of climate physics with each other.


Autonomy

Students will be able to independently access sources and acquire knowledge based on the lecture focus on the subject area. Furthermore, students will be able to research further physical effects related to climate on their own.

In the first chapter, we clarify important terms such as climate, climate system, climate forcing, and climate feedback. We then examine the Earth's radiative budget, which ultimately determines climate. Chapter 3 deals with the central issue of climate sensitivity, how much does the planet warm for a given radiative forcing? This leads to the important topic of climate feedbacks, which are discussed in the following chapters: Water Vapor, Temperature Gradient, and Ice Albedo in Chapter 4, then Clouds and Biosphere in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 deals with the Ocean and Cryosphere subsystems and their role in the climate system. Then comes the topic of material cycles in Chapter 7, focusing primarily on the cycles of water and carbon. From the carbon cycle comes a natural perspective on the overall Earth system history, the topic of the eighth and final lecture chapter.

Learning Objective:
This lecture provides a basic understanding of the physics of the climate system and the dynamics of the climate system throughout Earth history.

The students can, when working on a technical topic not familiar to them:

  • conduct a literature survey
  • choose the relevant information for their presentation
  • prepare a written summary
  • present results in front of peers and staff
  • correctly cite and reference sources.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

The students practice a critical assessment of the literature in a predefined specialised theme and learn to give presentations on their own technical sub-topic tailored to their public and discuss with the audience. When attending technical presentations, the students can formulate questions to other speakers and participate in the ensuing discussion.

The fulfilment of the tasks combines independent work with group and teamwork.

Autonomy

The students can, guided by instructors, critically reflect on their learning and work status, and write a scientific report.

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

The students, based on a literature survey, learn to study in detail a subject theme from the disciplines of green technologies and deliver afterwards a summary presentation to a specialised audience. Environmental issues and their multidisciplinary linkages are preferred, when selecting the thematic area of these studies. Through their own written contribution the students communicate an overview over the subject and practice technical writing. With the discussion the students practice scientific debating on a specialised subject matter.

Skills

The students can, when working on a technical topic not familiar to them:

  • conduct a literature survey
  • choose the relevant information for their presentation
  • prepare a written summary
  • present results in front of peers and staff
  • correctly cite and reference sources.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

The students practice a critical assessment of the literature in a predefined specialised theme and learn to give presentations on their own technical sub-topic tailored to their public and discuss with the audience. When attending technical presentations, the students can formulate questions to other speakers and participate in the ensuing discussion.

The fulfilment of the tasks combines independent work with group and teamwork.

Autonomy

The students can, guided by instructors, critically reflect on their learning and work status, and write a scientific report.

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

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

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