Lernergebnisse

On completion of the modules students can: - know and predict the quality and quantity of waste flows suitable for thermal waste treatment options and resulting products, residues and emissions, - explain, describe and apply the physico-chemical principles and the process engineering aspects in waste-to-energy processes, - suggest appropriate emission reduction techniques for waste-to-energy plants, - design thermal waste-to-energy systems based on practice-oriented calculations, - discuss energy efficiency and strategies to increase waste-to-energy processes, - assess the implementation of waste-to-energy plants and co-incineration globally, - understand economic drivers for implementation waste-to-energy processes, - to consider environmental aspects of waste-to-energy systems in a broader context, - know the essential process technologies for organic waste treatment and waste disposal, and their consequences on eco-systems and landscape, - possess a profound understanding of biological conversion processes and substance cycles, - possess the ability to review and evaluate new and emerging technologies, - can develop concepts and dimensions of waste treatment facilities, The course is divided into: 35 % Knowledge & Understanding, 30 % Development & Design, 15 % Research & Evaluation, 20 % Implementation & Praxis.

Beschreibung der Lehr- und Lernformen

This module follows a blended learning approach. The module consists of an integrated course (lecture, seminar, excursion) and a calculation phase. The integrated course illustrates the fundamentals and essential technical concepts and principles with teacher's and student's presentations and short movies. Time is allocated for interactive discussions related to recent developments and topics. An excursion gives a good view of the praxis. The calculation phase illustrates the theoretical content with practical examples. The exercises to be solved require the independent work of the students, which will strengthen their system and methodological competence. For this online self-learning tutorials and knowledge testing quizzes are available. Off-line tutorials allow students to work on MS Excel-based calculation sheets under the supervision of tutors. Furthermore, background information on current trends related to waste, expert opinions and scientific articles are given. In addition, the ISIS learning platform is intensely used as a presentation and information medium, as well as a discussion platform and as preparation for the lecture and exercise.
