Pro­ject work

Project work as a form of learning

Project work is a good opportunity for students to deal intensively with complex topics and to test themselves in a team. A task has to be solved as a group within a limited time. However, the group is only presented with a specific problem area - the exact definition of 'what the exact problem is' and 'which solution strategy should be used to approach the problem' is already part of the group's remit. Constructive discussions within the group regarding the structural approach are part of the desired group experience.It is important to have a good mix of skills that the students of the different disciplines 'bring with them' through their education. By offering participation to students of all disciplines, the basis of the knowledge and skills brought in is broadened even further. The aim is to make the students aware of the innovation opportunities for the group through the creativity of the individual.Within the project work offered, new fields of activity are addressed each time. For example, the project groups in the project work Man-House-Environment have already dealt with topics such as "Living and working in the year 2050", "Sense and nonsense of building automation" and "Potentials of renovating old buildings", in each case against the background of the associated overall energy consideration as well as the resulting energy demand and energy supply structures.

Kurzbeschreibung / Short Description


Environmental aspects are becoming increasingly important for the future market perspectives
of industrial companies (scarcity and rising costs of resources, changes in consumer preferences, legislation, etc.). Sustainability strategies are thus becoming a
central component of medium/long-term corporate planning.

Contents

The course Rational Energy Use deals with the optimisation of energy use in the production, use and disposal of goods, the use of energy-related services in the broadest sense and the mediation strategies for optimising energy-relevant behaviour of decision-makers and end consumers.

Lernergebnisse und Kompetenzen / Learning outcomes and competences

Fachkompetenz / Domain competence:

  • Derivation of target values and characteristics of a sustainable industrial production and identification of the technically feasible as well as economically sensible ways to achieve this.
  • Analysis of the influencing factors and interactions in the introduction of ecological innovations in industry
  • Development of strategies for sustainable corporate development and corresponding management methods for implementation in the company.
-

Interdisciplinary competences / Key qualifications:

  • The course should enable students to work intensively on group projects. An important aspect is the mixing of skills that students from the various disciplines "bring with them" through their education.
-

Methodical implementation / Implementation

On the basis of practice-related company case studies, students acquire the ability to analyse complex interrelationships between economy, ecology,
technology and society in group project work and to develop suitable strategies and measures for future-oriented entrepreneurial action.

Kurzbeschreibung / Short Description

Today's energy supply structures and the associated risks and problems for the future. Sustainable development: between an end in itself and securing our existence. First problem-solving approaches and the associated difficulties. The path from a centrally managed to a decentrally oriented energy supply.

Today's energy supply structures; their related risks and problems for the future. Sustainable development: between itself purpose and securing our existence. First approaches to problem solving and their associated difficulties. The path from a centrally managed energy supply towards a decentralized energy supply.

Inhalt / Contents

The course "Energy supply structures of the future" deals with the changing demands on energy transmission systems due to the expected changes in the feed-in structure. In addition, it focuses on the increased interaction between energy demand and energy supply elements as well as possibilities of energy storage.

The course "Energy supply structures of the future" treated the changing requirements of the energy transmission systems due to the expected change in the feed structure. Furthermore the enhanced interaction between energy demand and supply elements as well as energy storage options are taken into focus.

Lernergebnisse und Kompetenzen / Learning outcomes and competences

Technical competences

  • The participants should learn about the complexity of the energy supply, which is usually taken for granted.
  • Problem-solving strategies for the future energy supply are to be developed, which will also make it possible to approach further questions in the subject area of sustainable energy supply.
  • Knowledge in the field of measurement and control technology as well as electrical energy technology helps to solve the problem.

Interdisciplinary competences


Another goal is the intensification of project work in small groups with subsequent presentation of the results and the associated promotion of core competences.

Professional Competence

  • Participants will get the complexity of the usually taken and executed power supply.
  • Development of strategies to solve the problem of the future energy supply, it also allow to approach other issues in the subject area of sustainable energy supply.
  • Being able to solve the problems knowledge in measurement and control procedures as well as electrical energy technologies is key.

Soft Skills

Another target of this course is to intensify the project work in small groups, followed by presentation of the results and the associated promotion of core competencies.

Methodical implementation

As part of the course energy supply structures of the future, which is offered in the form of group project work, students are to face a previously unfamiliar subject area in a short time in a team.

As a part of this course energy supply structures for the future, students should integrate in an unknown team and treat a not previously addressed topic in a short time.
