language on the level of B1.
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.
• Dresden landscapes and open spaces: History and current
issues
• Ecological, social and political aims
• Instruments and relations to neighbouring disciplines
• Recent projects in German rural areas and conurbations
• Landscapes and open spaces in urban agglomerations
• Analysing and developing cultural landscapes
EM03_Landscape_and_Open_Space_Development_Module_2015_07_28.doc

language on the level of B1.
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”
• Solar thermal use of solar energy (non-concentrating and
concentrating collectors, solar thermal systems, solar power
stations), Photovoltaics (solar cell, losses, energy storage,

Minimum of four semesters previous studies in an Engineering
or Environmental Science program. Knowledge of English
language on the level of B1.
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.

Minimum of four semesters previous studies in an Engineering
or Environmental Science program. Knowledge of English
language on the level of B1.
This module is based on students’ knowledge of basic analysis
and planning processes in engineering and environment.
Students develop an understanding of waste water
management, rainwater harvesting and constructed wetlands
for waste water treatment. They learn how to combine natural
treatment processes and technical solutions in waste water
management.
Students can present concepts, planning tools and techniques
for waste water management. Students are able to identify
aims, conflicts, technology advantages and limitations,
synergies and solutions and to present their findings in seminar
discussions, also in relation to their individual educational
background.

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
structure of the German economy ranging from the start-up
scene to DAX-30 companies will be highlighted. The last part
of the2 lecture series is devoted to different current themes, for
example ownership succession in family-owned businesses.

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
