Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

EE1407 (P212-0062) Energy system technology / Renewable energies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2022 , semester 4, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Matthias Faust
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Matthias Faust

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be familiar with, understand and be able to explain the main phases in process plant design, from specifications to detailed engineering. Students will be familiar with the standard project flow: Phase 1: Project definition, brainstorming Phase 2: Planning, decision-making: “Order, execution”, Yes/No?, Phase 3: Execution, Phase 4: Students will understand and be able to explain the meaning of “project completion”. They will be familiar with, understand and be able to explain calculations, cost tracking and different project types. They will be familiar with, understand, explain and be able to apply methods of project management and project teamwork. They will be familiar with business management principles, i.e., debt service, return on sales, return on investment, operating costs, investment costs, amortization period, etc.
Technical law in plant design: Students will understand and be able to explain the basics of technical law in plant design (e.g. Federal Immission Control Act).
