Описание программы обучения "Environmental Engineering"

Environmental engineering has never been more relevant than it is today. In the past 20 years, the field has moved from purely focusing on the technical and logistical side of waste disposal to encompass material recovery and circular economy. Innovative materials, integrated material and process flow analysis, as well as the involvement of energy sector issues, have brought environmental technology - once a niche sector perceived to be partly driven by ideology - into mainstream areas of the international economy. Germany is a global market leader in many areas of environmental engineering expertise. This status requires ongoing success at different levels: innovative and integrated technology, favourable legal and economic standards and, not least, high-quality German university education in environmental sciences.

With this in mind, the International Master Program in Environmental Engineering at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) focuses on current developments in environmental technology, while also providing a solid grounding in the subject’s scientific and economic foundations. Students can specialise in one of three areas: (i) Water, (ii) Waste & Energy or (iii) Biotechnology. Interdisciplinary considerations are essential to all subject areas. How can environmental pollution be reduced and valuable resources recovered at the same time? How does one measure the sustainability of a product or service? Which innovative technologies assure minimum energy use in production processes? Which environmental law constraints favour sustainable development? All these questions are relevant in the Environmental Engineering program.

Graduates of the Environmental Engineering program have a detailed understanding of key areas of environmental sciences. At the start of the Master’s program, all students take compulsory courses in environmental management, waste and wastewater treatment, fluid dynamics and hydrology, and environmental analytics. In the second semester, students can choose from a number of potential core areas. These include courses in geochemical engineering, technical microbiology and water and wastewater technology. From the third semester, students develop a specialisation in one of the areas mentioned above (Water, Waste and Energy, or Biotechnology). In addition to course-specific modules, students also take non-technical classes in subjects such as business economics or foreign languages.

Карьерные перспективы по завершению программы обучения "Environmental Engineering"

Ожидаемые результаты программы обучения "Environmental Engineering"

1. Graduates are able to describe the fundamentals of environmental management and outline environmental standards, environmental economic instruments, the content of ISO 14001 and environmental performance evaluation.
2. They are able to explain the procedural fundamentals of important water and wastewater treatment techniques, biotechnological processes, biological waste treatment (aerobic and anaerobic) and relevant environmental chemicals and their analytical determination, particularly in water and wastewater analysis.
3. They can discuss hydrological and fluid mechanical models and the technical boundary conditions for sustainable water protection.
4. They are able to define the key principles of circular economy (water/waste) and outline the fundamentals of business economics.
5. Depending on the specialisation they choose, graduates can demonstrate their broader understanding in the areas of water, waste and energy or biotechnology.

1. Graduates are able to complete practical laboratory work in the area of municipal water engineering taking into consideration the procedure selection for water and wastewater treatment processes.
2. They are able to conduct specialist scientific research and geographical data processing and apply hydrological models.
3. They are able to argue and write scientifically.
4. Graduates are able to produce incisive individual presentations and coordinated team presentations, as practised in classes involving problem-based learning (PBL).
5. They are able to apply fundamental business economics methods.
6. Depending on their chosen specialisation, they have further skills in the areas of water, energy and waste, or biotechnology. For example, they are able to design membrane separation processes, conduct modelling in water technology, select technical and regional planning solutions for tasks in a biorefinery or analyse and evaluate integrated waste management solutions.

1. The degree program Environmental Engineering attracts students from all over the world. From the beginning of the course, students work in diverse teams, in which they are able to use their different skill sets and values productively when working on technical problems.
2. On completion of their studies, students are able to develop technical proposals, comprehensively review results and, where relevant, confirm them through peer discussion.
3. They can present technical solutions as a team.
4. They can also give constructive feedback to fellow students and integrate feedback on their own performance appropriately into their own work.

1. Graduates of the Environmental Engineering program are able to conduct independent research using scientific literature; read test reports; gain knowledge from these reports and transfer it to the project at hand.
2. In consultation with teaching staff, they are able to evaluate their own learning in concrete terms and define subsequent steps for ongoing progress.
3. They can independently define research and development tasks for theoretical and experimental investigation of environmental issues and plan and carry out projects in this regard.
