This module is based on students’ knowledge of basic analysis
and planning processes in engineering and environment.
Students develop an understanding of ecological and social
functions of open spaces in urban and rural areas, of open
space categories, planning instruments, levels and methods.
They know relevant examples for the spatial structure, design
and management of landscape and open space and can
assess their viability. Students are expected to prove an
adequate level of self-guided research and reflection regarding
content and methodology.
Students can present topics, methods, instruments and
strategies in an exemplary area of open space planning in the
context of urban and rural development. Issues of open space
planning and design are understood in the context of the
professional field of environmental engineering, urban planning
and design as well as landscape architecture. Students are
able to identify aims, conflicts, synergies and solutions and to
present their findings in seminar discussions, also in relation to
their individual educational background.

Students will see and learn insights in various innovative
techniques of environmental engineering. This lecture gives a
brief overview over the technical use of solar energy. Based on
the understanding why renewable energies are important
some basic economic figures are explained. Afterwards, the
focus is on the solar thermal and photovoltaic use of solar
power. Underlying physical principles are explained and the
most important components of state-of-the-art technical
systems for solar power conversion are discussed.
Students will be able to describe latest environmental
technologies in specialist areas, and discuss these innovations
in detail. Students will be able to present the structure and
function of solar energy conversion systems. They have a
basic knowledge of the economic aspects of renewable energy
and e-mobility.
• Overview in various areas of environmental engineering.
For example in: e-mobility, joining technology, space
technology, energy efficiency, solar energy, facility
management
• Joining technology 1 and 2: Overview current joining
methods, energy efficient joining, joining of ecologically
relevant materials, typical applications in environmentally
friendly applications
• Challenges of e-mobility for the industrial production: new
designs, materials and production concepts”
• Joining technology 3: “enabling energy efficient life: from
power generation to low-friction surface technologies”

The aim of the module is to develop an understanding of the
key meteorological, hydrological and hydraulic processes, their
impact on the natural and man-made environment and in
particular the development and consequences of extreme
situations. Through the modelling of some processes and the
exploration of the model and its results the understanding of
the dynamics and mechanisms will be supported. Students will
acquire a range of techniques in particular related to the
analysis and processing of data that can be applied elsewhere.
Students will be familiar with the water cycle of different scales,
will be able to estimate the water balance of a particular area
and will know about the consequences of climate change on
the water cycle. Students will have an overview of hydrometrical techniques and will have practiced some of the most
common gauging methods. They will be familiar with the
checking and processing of hydrometrical data.
Students will have learnt the basics of hydrological and
hydraulic modeling and will have built their first hydraulic model
enabling them to apply the knowledge using different software
and for different purposes.
Students will have an understanding of the development of
floods, flood forecasting and flood protection. They will know
how to produce a flood map using GIS. They will also develop
an understanding of the development and the impact of
droughts. Students will gain some knowledge of water
management and the respective problems occurring
worldwide.

The aim of the course is to provide a basis understanding of
the specifics of the German business environment. After
successfully completing the module the student will be able to:
1. systematically place the content of the other subjects he/she
has studied into the wider German business context, 2.
understand with regard to which aspects doing business in
Germany is different from doing business in other parts of the
world.
Being able to write a scientific essay on a subject adjacent to
the topics presented in the lecture.
The lectures in the first part of the term provide an overview on
the basic elements of the business life in Germany, e.g., cover
topics like the social market economy and the system of codetermination in Germany. In the following lectures, the

Basic knowledge in informatics and mathematics. Knowledge
of English language on the level of B1.
The students are able to create simple computer-based virtual
intelligent environments for application domains in the form of
controlled spatiotemporal models of a reality section using 3D
computer graphics, animation, multimedia, artificial intelligence
and web technologies.
The students use selected interactive, specification, and
programming languages and respective software tools for the
development of virtual intelligent environments whereas
lectures provide the general theoretical knowledge and
laboratory works permit the special practical experiences
concerning the technologies.
• Computer-based graphical modelling of real scenes
• Temporal animation of spatial scene objects
• Programming of intelligent object behaviours
