Program description

Content

The 4-semester research-oriented master's degree (MSc) "Theoretical Mechanical Engineering" builds on research-oriented Mechanical Engineering-oriented undergraduate degree programs (BSc). Required are in-depth knowledge in mathematics and science and engineering fundamentals. The graduates acquire basic research and methodological oriented content, including interdisciplinary orientation, mechanical engineering knowledge and associated mechanical engineering expertise to develop mathematical descriptions, analysis and synthesis of complex technical systems methods, products or processes. In this course, the program combines the two most important theoretical and methodological areas, namely the simulation technology and systems theory. For this purpose, mathematical foundations and in-depth knowledge in areas such as the Technical dynamics, control engineering, numerical and structural mechanics are learned.


Career prospects

The master's degree program in Theoretical Mechanical Engineering prepares its graduates for professional and managerial positions in research and development. Through the course’s focus on theory-method-oriented content and principles as well as intensive scientific thinking training, graduates are qualified for a wide field of work, especially in the area of mechanical and automotive engineering, biotechnology and medical technology, power engineering, aerospace engineering, shipbuilding, automation , materials science and related fields.


Learning target

The graduates can:

• analyze and solve scientific problems, even if they are defined uncommon or incomplete and competing specifications

• formulate abstract and complex problems from a new or evolving the field of their discipline

• apply innovative methods in basic research oriented problem solving and develop new scientific methods

• identify information needs and find information

  • plan and perform theoretical and experimental investigations

• Evaluate data critically and draw conclusions

• analyze and evaluate the use of new and emerging technologies.

Graduates are able to:

• develop concepts and solutions to basic research, partly unusual problems, possibly involving other disciplines,

  • create and develop new products, processes and methods

• apply their scientific engineering judgment to work with complex, possibly incomplete information, to identify contradictions and deal with them

• classify knowledge from different fields methodically and systematically, to combine and handle complexity;

• familiarize themselves systematically, and in a short time frame, with new tasks

  • To reflect systematically the non-technical implications of engineering activity and to act responsibly

• to develop solutions and further methodological skills.


Program structure

The course is divided into basic research core courses and an application-specific specialization. In addition to the core subjects and mathematics, students develop in-depth knowledge in areas such as technical dynamics, control engineering, numerical and structural mechanics. To deepen the foundations of application specific specializations, modules are selected. Other technical and non-technical elective courses may be selected from the range of subjects TUHH and the University of Hamburg. During the last semester the Master thesis is carried out.

The curricular content is thus divided into six groups:

• Key skills, required courses (24 ECTS)

• Key skills, electives (24 ECTS)

• Project Work (12 ECTS)

• A specialization (18 ECTS)

• General non-technical content (12 ECTS)

• Master's thesis (30 ECTS).

The areas of specialization are:

• Biological and Medical Engineering

• Energy Technology

• Aircraft Systems

• Maritime Technology

• Numerical and computer science

• Product development and production

• Materials Engineering

The choice of specialization is required, its contents are closely related to the research topics of the Institute. The key skills already acquired in undergraduate study for mechanical engineering are developed within the Master's program.

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.

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

  • explain specialized areas in context of the relevant non-technical disciplines,
  • 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 and specific methods of the said scientific disciplines,
  • aquestion a specific technical phenomena, models, theories from the viewpoint of another, aforementioned specialist discipline,
  • to handle simple and advanced questions in aforementioned scientific disciplines in a sucsessful manner,
  • justify their decisions on forms of organization and application in practical questions in contexts that go beyond the technical relationship to the subject.



Personal Competence
Social Competence

Personal Competences (Social Skills)

Students will be able

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





Autonomy

Personal Competences (Self-reliance)

Students are able in selected areas

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

Content

The lecture "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.

Avionics are all kinds off flight electronics. Today there is no aircraft system function without avionics, and avionics are one main source of innovation in aerospace industry. Since many system functions are highly safety critical, the development of avionics hardware and software underlies mandatory constraints, technics, and processes. It is inevitable for system developers and computer engineers in aerospace industry to understand and master these. This lecture teaches the risks and techniques of developing safety critical hardware and software; major avionics components; integration; and test with a practical orientation. A focus is on Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA). The lecture is accompanied by a mandatory and laboratory exercises.

The general tasks of maritime logistics include the planning, design, implementation and control of material and information flows in the logistics chain ship - port - hinterland. This includes technology assessment, selection, dimensioning and implementation as well as the operation of technologies.

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of maritime transport and the actors involved in the maritime transport chain. Typical problem areas and tasks will be dealt with, taking into account the economic development. Thus, classical problems as well as current developments and trends in the field of maritime logistics are considered.

In the lecture, the components of the maritime logistics chain and the actors involved will be examined and risk assessments of human disturbances on the supply chain will be developed. In addition, students learn to estimate the potential of digitisation in maritime shipping, especially with regard to the monitoring of ships. Further content of the lecture is the different modes of transport in the hinterland, which students can evaluate after completion of the course regarding their advantages and disadvantages.

Port Logistics deals with the planning, control, execution and monitoring of material flows and the associated information flows in the port system and its interfaces to numerous actors inside and outside the port area.

The extraordinary role of maritime transport in international trade requires very efficient ports. These must meet numerous requirements in terms of economy, speed, safety and the environment. Against this background, the lecture Port Logistics deals with the planning, control, execution and monitoring of material flows and the associated information flows in the port system and its interfaces to numerous actors inside and outside the port area. The aim of the lecture Port Logistics is to convey an understanding of structures and processes in ports. The focus will be on different types of terminals, their characteristical layouts and the technical equipment used as well as the ongoing digitization and interaction of the players involved.

In addition, renowned guest speakers from science and practice will be regularly invited to discuss some lecture-relevant topics from alternative perspectives.

The following contents will be conveyed in the lectures:

  • Instruction of structures and processes in the port
  • Planning, control, implementation and monitoring of material and information flows in the port
  • Fundamentals of different terminals, characteristical layouts and the technical equipment used
  • Handling of current issues in port logistics

This class will cover the principles of dislocation theory from a physical metallurgy perspective, providing a fundamental understanding of the relations between the strength and of crystalline solids and distributions of defects.

We will review the concept of dislocations, defining terminology used, and providing an overview of important concepts (e.g. linear elasticity, stress-strain relations, and stress transformations) for theory development. We will develop the theory of dislocation plasticity through derived stress-strain fields, associated self-energies, and the induced forces on dislocations due to internal and externally applied stresses. Dislocation structure will be discussed, including core models, stacking faults, and dislocation arrays (including grain boundary descriptions). Mechanisms of dislocation multiplication and strengthening will be covered along with general principles of creep and strain rate sensitivity. Final topics will include non-FCC dislocations, emphasizing the differences in structure and corresponding implications on dislocation mobility and macroscopic mechanical behavior; and dislocations in finite volumes.

Content

One of the most important questions when modeling mechanical systems in practice is how to model the behavior of the materials of their different components. In addition to simple isotropic elasticity in particular the following phenomena play key roles

- anisotropy (material behavior depending on direction, e.g., in fiber-reinforced materials)
- plasticity (permanent deformation due to one-time overload, e.g., in metal forming)
- viscoelasticity (absorption of energy, e.g., in dampers)
- creep (slow deformation under permanent load, e.g., in pipes)

This lecture briefly introduces the theoretical foundations and mathematical modeling of the above phenomena. It is complemented by exercises where simple examples problems are solved by calculations and where the implementation of the content of the lecture in computer simulations is explained. It will also briefly discussed how important material parameters can be determined from experimental data.

C/C++ Programming skills

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

The relevance of embedded systems increases from year to year. Within such systems, the amount of software to be executed on embedded processors grows continuously due to its lower costs and higher flexibility. Because of the particular application areas of embedded systems, highly optimized and application-specific processors are deployed. Such highly specialized processors impose high demands on compilers which have to generate code of highest quality. After the successful attendance of this course, the students are able

  • to illustrate the structure and organization of such compilers,
  • to distinguish and explain intermediate representations of various abstraction levels, and
  • to assess optimizations and their underlying problems in all compiler phases.

The high demands on compilers for embedded systems make effective code optimizations mandatory. The students learn in particular,

  • which kinds of optimizations are applicable at the source code level,
  • how the translation from source code to assembly code is performed,
  • which kinds of optimizations are applicable at the assembly code level,
  • how register allocation is performed, and
  • how memory hierarchies can be exploited effectively.

Since compilers for embedded systems often have to optimize for multiple objectives (e.g., average- or worst-case execution time, energy dissipation, code size), the students learn to evaluate the influence of optimizations on these different criteria.

Skills

After successful completion of the course, students shall be able to translate high-level program code into machine code. They will be enabled to assess which kind of code optimization should be applied most effectively at which abstraction level (e.g., source or assembly code) within a compiler.

While attending the labs, the students will learn to implement a fully functional compiler including optimizations.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to solve similar problems alone or in a group and to present the results accordingly.

Autonomy

Students are able to acquire new knowledge from specific literature and to associate this knowledge with other classes.

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

Students can explain the difference between instance-based and model-based learning approaches, and they can enumerate basic machine learning technique for each of the two basic approaches, either on the basis of static data, or on the basis of incrementally incoming data . For dealing with uncertainty, students can describe suitable representation formalisms, and they explain how axioms, features, parameters, or structures used in these formalisms can be learned automatically with different algorithms. Students are also able to sketch different clustering techniques. They depict how the performance of learned classifiers can be improved by ensemble learning, and they can summarize how this influences computational learning theory. Algorithms for reinforcement learning can also be explained by students.

Skills

Student derive decision trees and, in turn, propositional rule sets from simple and static data tables and are able to name and explain basic optimization techniques. They present and apply the basic idea of first-order inductive leaning. Students apply the BME, MAP, ML, and EM algorithms for learning parameters of Bayesian networks and compare the different algorithms. They also know how to carry out Gaussian mixture learning. They can contrast kNN classifiers, neural networks, and support vector machines, and name their basic application areas and algorithmic properties. Students can describe basic clustering techniques and explain the basic components of those techniques. Students compare related machine learning techniques, e.g., k-means clustering and nearest neighbor classification. They can distinguish various ensemble learning techniques and compare the different goals of those techniques.

Recommended Previous Knowledge Vectors, matrices, Calculus
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

Students can explain the agent abstraction, define intelligence in terms of rational behavior, and give details about agent design (goals, utilities, environments). They can describe the main features of environments. The notion of adversarial agent cooperation can be discussed in terms of decision problems and algorithms for solving these problems. For dealing with uncertainty in real-world scenarios, students can summarize how Bayesian networks can be employed as a knowledge representation and reasoning formalism in static and dynamic settings. In addition, students can define decision making procedures in simple and sequential settings, with and with complete access to the state of the environment. In this context, students can describe techniques for solving (partially observable) Markov decision problems, and they can recall techniques for measuring the value of information. Students can identify techniques for simultaneous localization and mapping, and can explain planning techniques for achieving desired states. Students can explain coordination problems and decision making in a multi-agent setting in term of different types of equilibria, social choice functions, voting protocol, and mechanism design techniques.

Skills

Students can select an appropriate agent architecture for concrete agent application scenarios. For simplified agent application students can derive decision trees and apply basic optimization techniques. For those applications they can also create Bayesian networks/dynamic Bayesian networks and apply bayesian reasoning for simple queries. Students can also name and apply different sampling techniques for simplified agent scenarios. For simple and complex decision making students can compute the best action or policies for concrete settings. In multi-agent situations students will apply techniques for finding different equilibria states,e.g., Nash equilibria. For multi-agent decision making students will apply different voting protocols and compare and explain the results.

Content

One of the most important questions when modeling mechanical systems in practice is how to model the behavior of the materials of their different components. In addition to simple isotropic elasticity in particular the following phenomena play key roles

- anisotropy (material behavior depending on direction, e.g., in fiber-reinforced materials)
- plasticity (permanent deformation due to one-time overload, e.g., in metal forming)
- viscoelasticity (absorption of energy, e.g., in dampers)
- creep (slow deformation under permanent load, e.g., in pipes)

This lecture briefly introduces the theoretical foundations and mathematical modeling of the above phenomena. It is complemented by exercises where simple examples problems are solved by calculations and where the implementation of the content of the lecture in computer simulations is explained. It will also briefly discussed how important material parameters can be determined from experimental data.

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

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Especially during the exercises the focus is placed on communication with the tutor. This animates the students to reflect on their existing knowledge and ask specific questions for improving further this knowledge level. 

Autonomy

The students assisted by the tutors will be able to perform estimating calculations. In this manner the theoretical and practical knowledge from the lecture is consolidated and the potential impact of different process arrangements and boundary conditions highlighted.

Content

The general tasks of maritime logistics include the planning, design, implementation and control of material and information flows in the logistics chain ship - port - hinterland. This includes technology assessment, selection, dimensioning and implementation as well as the operation of technologies.

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of maritime transport and the actors involved in the maritime transport chain. Typical problem areas and tasks will be dealt with, taking into account the economic development. Thus, classical problems as well as current developments and trends in the field of maritime logistics are considered.

In the lecture, the components of the maritime logistics chain and the actors involved will be examined and risk assessments of human disturbances on the supply chain will be developed. In addition, students learn to estimate the potential of digitisation in maritime shipping, especially with regard to the monitoring of ships. Further content of the lecture is the different modes of transport in the hinterland, which students can evaluate after completion of the course regarding their advantages and disadvantages.

Professional Competence
Knowledge

Students can explain the difference between instance-based and model-based learning approaches, and they can enumerate basic machine learning technique for each of the two basic approaches, either on the basis of static data, or on the basis of incrementally incoming data . For dealing with uncertainty, students can describe suitable representation formalisms, and they explain how axioms, features, parameters, or structures used in these formalisms can be learned automatically with different algorithms. Students are also able to sketch different clustering techniques. They depict how the performance of learned classifiers can be improved by ensemble learning, and they can summarize how this influences computational learning theory. Algorithms for reinforcement learning can also be explained by students.

Skills

Student derive decision trees and, in turn, propositional rule sets from simple and static data tables and are able to name and explain basic optimization techniques. They present and apply the basic idea of first-order inductive leaning. Students apply the BME, MAP, ML, and EM algorithms for learning parameters of Bayesian networks and compare the different algorithms. They also know how to carry out Gaussian mixture learning. They can contrast kNN classifiers, neural networks, and support vector machines, and name their basic application areas and algorithmic properties. Students can describe basic clustering techniques and explain the basic components of those techniques. Students compare related machine learning techniques, e.g., k-means clustering and nearest neighbor classification. They can distinguish various ensemble learning techniques and compare the different goals of those techniques.

Content

This class will cover the principles of dislocation theory from a physical metallurgy perspective, providing a fundamental understanding of the relations between the strength and of crystalline solids and distributions of defects.

We will review the concept of dislocations, defining terminology used, and providing an overview of important concepts (e.g. linear elasticity, stress-strain relations, and stress transformations) for theory development. We will develop the theory of dislocation plasticity through derived stress-strain fields, associated self-energies, and the induced forces on dislocations due to internal and externally applied stresses. Dislocation structure will be discussed, including core models, stacking faults, and dislocation arrays (including grain boundary descriptions). Mechanisms of dislocation multiplication and strengthening will be covered along with general principles of creep and strain rate sensitivity. Final topics will include non-FCC dislocations, emphasizing the differences in structure and corresponding implications on dislocation mobility and macroscopic mechanical behavior; and dislocations in finite volumes.

Recommended Previous Knowledge
  • "Technical Thermodynamics I and II"
  • "Heat Transfer"
  • "Fluid Mechanics"
  • "Steam Power Plants"
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The students know the thermodynamic base principles for steam generators and their types. They are able to describe the basic principles of steam generators and sketch the combustion and fuel supply aspects of fossil-fuelled power plants. They can perform thermal design calculations and conceive the water-steam side, as well as they are able to define the constructive details of the steam generator. The students can describe and evaluate the operational behaviour of steam generators and explain these in the context of related disciplines.

Skills

The students will be able, using detailed knowledge on the calculation, design, and construction of steam generators, linked with a wide theoretical and methodical foundation, to understand the main design and construction aspects of steam generators. Through problem definition and formalisation, modelling of processes, and training in the solution methodology for partial problems a good overview of this key component of the power plant will be obtained.

Within the framework of the exercise the students obtain the ability to draw the balances, and design the steam generator and its components. For this purpose small but close to lifelike tasks are solved, to highlight aspects of the design of steam generators.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Especially during the exercises the focus is placed on communication with the tutor. This animates the students to reflect on their existing knowledge and ask specific questions to further improve their understanding. 

Autonomy

The students will be able to perform basic calculations covering aspects of the steam generator, with only the help of smaller clues, on their own. This way the theoretical and practical knowledge from the lecture is consolidated and the potential effects from different process schemata and boundary conditions are highlighted.

C/C++ Programming skills

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

The relevance of embedded systems increases from year to year. Within such systems, the amount of software to be executed on embedded processors grows continuously due to its lower costs and higher flexibility. Because of the particular application areas of embedded systems, highly optimized and application-specific processors are deployed. Such highly specialized processors impose high demands on compilers which have to generate code of highest quality. After the successful attendance of this course, the students are able

  • to illustrate the structure and organization of such compilers,
  • to distinguish and explain intermediate representations of various abstraction levels, and
  • to assess optimizations and their underlying problems in all compiler phases.

The high demands on compilers for embedded systems make effective code optimizations mandatory. The students learn in particular,

  • which kinds of optimizations are applicable at the source code level,
  • how the translation from source code to assembly code is performed,
  • which kinds of optimizations are applicable at the assembly code level,
  • how register allocation is performed, and
  • how memory hierarchies can be exploited effectively.

Since compilers for embedded systems often have to optimize for multiple objectives (e.g., average- or worst-case execution time, energy dissipation, code size), the students learn to evaluate the influence of optimizations on these different criteria.

Skills

After successful completion of the course, students shall be able to translate high-level program code into machine code. They will be enabled to assess which kind of code optimization should be applied most effectively at which abstraction level (e.g., source or assembly code) within a compiler.

While attending the labs, the students will learn to implement a fully functional compiler including optimizations.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to solve similar problems alone or in a group and to present the results accordingly.

Autonomy

Students are able to acquire new knowledge from specific literature and to associate this knowledge with other classes.

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

Students can explain the agent abstraction, define intelligence in terms of rational behavior, and give details about agent design (goals, utilities, environments). They can describe the main features of environments. The notion of adversarial agent cooperation can be discussed in terms of decision problems and algorithms for solving these problems. For dealing with uncertainty in real-world scenarios, students can summarize how Bayesian networks can be employed as a knowledge representation and reasoning formalism in static and dynamic settings. In addition, students can define decision making procedures in simple and sequential settings, with and with complete access to the state of the environment. In this context, students can describe techniques for solving (partially observable) Markov decision problems, and they can recall techniques for measuring the value of information. Students can identify techniques for simultaneous localization and mapping, and can explain planning techniques for achieving desired states. Students can explain coordination problems and decision making in a multi-agent setting in term of different types of equilibria, social choice functions, voting protocol, and mechanism design techniques.

Skills

Students can select an appropriate agent architecture for concrete agent application scenarios. For simplified agent application students can derive decision trees and apply basic optimization techniques. For those applications they can also create Bayesian networks/dynamic Bayesian networks and apply bayesian reasoning for simple queries. Students can also name and apply different sampling techniques for simplified agent scenarios. For simple and complex decision making students can compute the best action or policies for concrete settings. In multi-agent situations students will apply techniques for finding different equilibria states,e.g., Nash equilibria. For multi-agent decision making students will apply different voting protocols and compare and explain the results.

In the scope of this lecture, students learn to model and solve selected maritime problems with the help of numerical programs and scripts.

First, basic concepts of computational modeling are explained, from the physical modeling and discretization to the implementation and actual numerical solution of the problem. Then, available tools for the implementation and solution process are discussed, including high-level compiled and interpreted programming languages and computer algebra systems (e.g., Python; Matlab, Maple). In the second half of the class, selected maritime problems will be discussed and subsequently solved numerically by the students.

Content

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.

1) Markets for Agricultural Commodities
What are the major markets and how are markets functioning
Recent trends in world production and consumption.
World trade is growing fast. Logistics. Bottlenecks.
The major countries with surplus production
Growing net import requirements, primarily of China, India and many other countries.
Tariff and non-tariff market barriers. Government interferences.


2) Closer Analysis of Individual Markets
Thomas Mielke will analyze in more detail the global vegetable oil markets, primarily palm oil, soya oil,
rapeseed oil, sunflower oil. Also the raw material (the oilseed) as well as the by-product (oilmeal) will
be included. The major producers and consumers.
Vegetable oils and oilmeals are extracted from the oilseed. The importance of vegetable oils and
animal fats will be highlighted, primarily in the food industry in Europe and worldwide. But in the past
15 years there have also been rapidly rising global requirements of oils & fats for non-food purposes,
primarily as a feedstock for biodiesel but also in the chemical industry.
Importance of oilmeals as an animal feed for the production of livestock and aquaculture
Oilseed area, yields per hectare as well as production of oilseeds. Analysis of the major oilseeds
worldwide. The focus will be on soybeans, rapeseed, sunflowerseed, groundnuts and cottonseed.
Regional differences in productivity. The winners and losers in global agricultural production.


3) Forecasts: Future Global Demand & Production of Vegetable Oils
Big challenges in the years ahead: Lack of arable land for the production of oilseeds, grains and other
crops. Competition with livestock. Lack of water. What are possible solutions? Need for better
education & management, more mechanization, better seed varieties and better inputs to raise yields.
The importance of prices and changes in relative prices to solve market imbalances (shortage
situations as well as surplus situations). How does it work? Time lags.
Rapidly rising population, primarily the number of people considered “middle class” in the years ahead.
Higher disposable income will trigger changing diets in favour of vegetable oils and livestock products.
Urbanization. Today, food consumption per caput is partly still very low in many developing countries,
primarily in Africa, some regions of Asia and in Central America. What changes are to be expected?
The myth and the realities of palm oil in the world of today and tomorrow.
Labour issues curb production growth: Some examples: 1) Shortage of labour in oil palm plantations in
Malaysia. 2) Structural reforms overdue for the agriculture in India, China and other countries to
become more productive and successful, thus improving the standard of living of smallholders.

Content

The experiments of the practical lab course illustrate the different aspects of heat generation from biogenic solid fuels. First, different biomasses (e.g. wood, straw or agricultural residues) will be investigated; the focus will be on the calorific value of the biomass. Furthermore, the used biomass will be pelletized, the pellet properties analysed and a combustion test carried out on a pellet combustion system. The gaseous and solid pollutant emissions, especially the particulate matter emissions, are measured and the composition of the particulate matter is investigated in a further experiment. Another focus of the practical course is the consideration of options for the reduction of particulate matter emissions from biomass combustion. In the practical course, a method for particulate matter reduction will be developed and tested. All experiments will be evaluated and the results presented.

Within the practical lab course the students discuss different technical-scientific tasks, both subject-specifically and interdisciplinary. They
discuss various approaches to solving the problem and advise on the theoretical or practical implementation.
