Course Content
As the most important interface in energy technology lies between conventional mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, the degree course B.Eng. in Energy Technology is planned as an organisational unit of Bremen University of Applied Sciences and spans different fields of specialisation. The degree course was thus formed from selected organisation and tutors within the specialised areas of mechanical and electrical engineering.The first semester foremost conveys physical foundations of energy technology. General engineering-orientated knowledge is conveyed and inter-disciplinary understanding and thinking promoted, through the teaching sessions, which span different fields of specialisation.
Following the classical basic subjects, a deepening of the degree follows that is oriented in two main directions:
Electrical Energy Technology (EET)
Thermal Energy Technology (TET)
Building on the learnt foundation knowledge, training is organised on basis of both its content and methodology, according to the scientifically most current stand in both of the traditional areas corresponding to the chosen main theme. In this section of the degree, particular value is laid upon the learning of methodological competencies such as media skills, information acquisition and preparation as well as application-oriented planning and problem-solving competency.
On basis of the existing contacts and co-operation with regional and national industry partners, the training is continually brought to the level of the latest stand in technology. Furthermore, research and development projects flow into the teaching, in which students become involved and on which basis, learning concepts develop.
The third part of the study starts with a 20-week industrial traineeship. It is also possible for the industrial traineeship to be carried out in a non-German speaking country, in order to on the one hand deepen inter-cultural social and language competencies in a practical manner and, on the other, to mature a global viewpoint on markets, technology and the environment through this industrial stay.
In the final semester, students have the possibility to take an individual look at special problems in energy technology, through their specifically chosen option modules and the Bachelor thesis.
