Relation to other Modules:

This module is a good basis for the environmental part of the M.Sc. programs EnviroFood, AgriTropics and Agricultural Engineering.

Prerequisites for Attendance:

Basic knowledge in natural sciences is helpful to understand the lectures.

Sprache:

English

ECTS:

6 credits

Frequency:

every winter semester

Length of the Module:

1 semester

Module examination:

written

Workload:

56 h presence + 104 h preparation at home + exam = 160 h workload

Professional competences:

Students can illustrate the topic "waste" in the municipal, commercial and industrial sectors. They can derive the actual situation of waste management in Germany and abroad from the historical development of industry and society, and illustrate the evolution of waste techniques by the legal framework with a main focus on techniques for waste treatment and their environmental impacts. Students can show opportunities and limitations of waste prevention and waste utilisation by examples.

The lecture is illustrated by field trips to e.g. waste treatment plants with composting, sorting, incineration, waste water treatment processes.

Key competences:

The students will aquire skills like critical and analytical thinking.
