  • Purpose and learning objectives
    Knowledge

    The graduate has acquired:
    - development-based knowledge of environmental aspects and sustainability in complex construction and industrial installations, as well as optimisation and operation of automatic systems.
    - an understanding of practice, discipline-specific methods and theories of development in complex construction and industrial installations, as well as optimisation and operation of automatic systems, and an ability to reflect on practice and the application of theories and methods.

    Skills

    The graduate is able to:
    - apply methods and tools for the optimisation of complex construction and industrial
    installations and operation of automatic systems and master the further development and
    adaptation of solutions.
    - assess practice-oriented and theoretical issues as well as justify and select relevant solutions to ensure sustainability in the choice of technology and materials.
    - communicate practice-oriented and professional issues and solutions to partners and users.

    Competences

    The graduate is able to:
    - handle innovative, complex and development-oriented solutions for the design and
    application of automated solutions in an industrial context.
    - independently engage in academic and interdisciplinary collaboration with other professional groups for the optimisation of complex construction and industrial installations and operation of automatic systems and assume responsibility within the framework of a code of professional ethics.
    - identify their own learning requirements and develop their own knowledge, skills and competencies - academically, methodically and across disciplines - in construction and industrial installation optimisation and operation of automatic systems in the development of interdisciplinary technical solutions.

  • Exam

    The learning outcomes of the exam are identical with the learning outcomes of the subject(s)/modul(es)

    Prerequisites for access to the examination
    A crucial part of this study programme’s justification is the integration part – that is acquiring competencies to integrate technical skills in interaction with others. This is the so-called integrator role. This is one of the reasons why this programme is based on group work, and in order to get a good outcome, students must necessarily take part in this group work. Therefore, we recommend that students participate in the teaching and submit and present the assignments and projects involved.
    Exam forms based on the assessment of written work require the written part should be submitted on time and satisfy all the formal requirements for the exam. If not, the student cannot take the exam until the requirements have been satisfied, and the student will have used one exam attempt.
    Attendance at plenary days is mandatory.
