Interdisciplinary Project Work - Energy Engineering
Component code / course code:
Semester: winter / summer
ECTS credits: 10
Lecture hours per week (SWS): 1
Lecturer: Topic specific
Course language: English
Prerequisite: Sufficient knowledge in Energy Engineering
Objectives (Learning Outcome): The students learn to use their previously acquired skills in a project of medium to high complexity that is new to them. Precise technical communication and mutual provision of information (group work), independent handling of specialist topics and their analysis, as well as technical development, written, and oral presentation of the results. Real projects in building and energy technology require technical competence and interdisciplinary foresight. Against this background, an understanding of other disciplines is essential.
Lecture topics (content): The project contents may come from any area of the energy systems and building climate / technical building services and are usually integrated planning tasks going into detail in the various disciplines such as energy generation and supply, building physics, electrical and automation technology, thermal energy systems all the way to the field of lighting technology and energy management systems. The contents of the lectures of the economics and project planning and implementation modules should be applied. All projects have great practical relevance; numerous projects are carried out in cooperation with partners from industry, municipalities, or engineering/architecture firms.
Teaching format (e.g. online/in person lecture/Seminar/Lab etc.): Project
Examination: Project work
*student can choose to take either the Interdisciplinary Project Work or the English Bachelor Thesis
