Course content
The course teaches a holistic approach to selected environmental technologies. Current technologies from society, industry and research and development are treated as case studies, e.g:
- Industrial and environmentally sound production of materials
- Exhaust gas purification systems
- Gas processing and storage facilities, green gas
- Treatment processes for contaminated soil
- Production of environmentally friendly textiles
Learning outcomes
The course deals with case studies from relevant industrial environmental technologies. The students
- learn extended professional competence for the evaluation and further development of complete systems
- work themselves independently into an example process
- analyse and evaluate the process on the basis of technical, economic and environmental aspects
- optimise the process from an environmental point of view
- document and present the knowledge gained
By working on case studies, students also learn interdisciplinary skills such as communication competence, social competence through teamwork and self-competence through the need for time and quality management.
