Design (elective module)
Standard workload: at least 12.0 ECTS
Learning Outcomes:
Technical and methodological competencies: After completing the module, students have theoretical knowledge in methods of modeling materials as well as process simulation, and have learned to implement these concepts and apply them to environmentally relevant problems. At the same time, they know the basics of legislation and environmental law in order to be able to use the acquired legal knowledge to assess and answer practical questions.
Cognitive and practical competencies: Based on the acquired knowledge, students are able to apply computer-assisted methods to support the answering of environmentally relevant questions and have basic knowledge of legal regulations at Union- and National level.
Social competencies and self-competencies: By using computer-based methods, students learn resource-saving procedures.
Contents: Basic data-processing- and data-modeling-skills; bioinformatics methods and simulation techniques for problems in the fields of bio- and materials chemistry; computer-aided analysis and presentation of extensive data sets for automation in everyday laboratory work and for process optimization; legal basics of environmentally relevant topics, such as plant protection law, biotechnology, etc.; political-economic approaches to resource economics.
Expected prior knowledge:
Technical and methodological competencies: Fundamentals of chemistry at bachelor level.
Cognitive and practical competencies: Digital knowledge and skills for computer-based work.
Social competencies and self-competencies: Interest in computer-based methods as well as legal responsibilities, approval procedures and measures.
Mandatory Requirements: None.
