Knowledge of the essential contents, ways of thinking and working methods of general business administration from the modules 06 "Business Administration" and 02 "Economics" of the basic studies, as well as the course "Fundamentals of
Energy Economics" (module EK-18). In addition, knowledge of financial mathematics from Module 11 "Fundamentals of Financing and Investment". The contents taught in module EK-20 "Project Management and Development" are also required.
Qualification objectives:
Within the framework of the "project work", the students learn to work on a complex task, with a focus on the field of energy management, in a practice-oriented manner with the inclusion of the relevant specialist literature and to develop interdisciplinary approaches to solutions. The work is usually assigned as group work, whereby the contribution of the individual group member is determined individually. In this way, students learn to work in a team. The course work usually extends over a period of three months, with constant monitoring of the project's progress through ongoing interim reports. The participants should apply and implement the specialist knowledge acquired in the previous lectures, in particular the energy-specific core subjects, by means of practical tasks in case studies. The focus is on teaching practice-oriented working methods in cooperation with external project partners, which enable the participants to structure complex issues and find a holistic, economic solution. The participants will go through all work steps from situation analysis to concept development to the final presentation and implementation of individual project measures. Special attention is paid to a team-oriented decision-making process and interdisciplinary linkage.
