Engineers are with their ideas and achievements in the 21st Century to build for the future. The environmentally responsible supplies of energy and its efficient use are one of the major challenges of this century, as the growing world population is only a decent future, despite the limited reserves of fossil fuels and the environmental impact of their use worldwide to achieve sustainable development can be . The solution of this task requires increased efforts to develop and deploy more efficient energy technologies (eg fuel cells, heat recovery, solar technology, combined heat) as well as regionally and locally optimized energy concepts. In this ecological and economic aspects are equally important. Flanked will range from installations and systems for air pollution (exhaust gas), the extraction and treatment of water and disposal of wastewater and waste.
These challenges characterize the broad field of activity of the engineers to supply technology. It includes the areas of planning, design, construction and operation of technical building equipment, energy, utilities and waste disposal systems, energy management, energy and facility management and research and development in these areas. Due to the large demand for skilled graduates are the career prospects for supply engineers very well. The qualifications for this varied and interesting tasks gives the study of supply engineering.
Currently, in Germany studying at colleges and universities on the European system of successive courses with the degrees of Bachelor and Master redenominated. The aim of this conversion is for higher education qualifications has an internationally recognized framework for a comparison of different countries acquired degrees guaranteed. This shift reflects the requirements of a particular for specialists and executives cross-border labor market, especially in the local region Saar-Lor-Lux-Trier-Westpfalz a growing importance.
The bachelor’s degree in this system is the first professional completion of university studies. If the access conditions are met, the students after the bachelor’s degree from her studies in a master’s degree will continue. Continuation of the objectives of this course is in addition to the deepening and expansion of expertise and methodological skills for more demanding tasks in the company to develop the capacity for scientific work in the respective fields. A master’s degree may also be after some years of professional work be started if personal career goals more clearly developed and pursued.
From winter semester 2005/2006, the University of Trier Bachelor’s Degree Technical building equipment and supply technology with the Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.) To. Based on the Master’s degree Technical facility and energy management with the final Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) Furnished.
The Bachelor’s Program includes 7 semesters, with the former for a Degree typical division of the studies in basic and advanced Deleted. In the first three semesters of the bachelor’s degree program is primarily the scientific bases (subjects such as physics, mathematics and chemistry) and the basic technical knowledge (engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical engineering, materials and system technology) in the center. This training is supplemented by section subjects in which the engineer for the essential business and legal knowledge. Also on this study include computer science education. It covers the basics of modern information technology and CAD (AUTOCAD).
In the higher semesters studying learns more specific guidance. Here are the core subjects of care technology, such as heating, air conditioning, gas and gas, power and machinery, instrumentation, control engineering, building technology, refrigeration technology, Renewable energy and fuel cells, electric plants and water treatment and water supply in the center. Complementary to this range of subjects through elective modules (eg, Technical English, engineering, sewage and waste technology, welding, lighting, etc.). Optional modules to choose the students themselves, with audit services in a certain number of subjects that must be provided. Under this optional modules can also be other courses of the University of Trier courses or other universities visited.
The 5th Term is a semester, in which the students acquired their skills up to that first time in a company of technical building equipment and supply technique. Instead of the placement is also a semester at a foreign university is possible. This was a Bachelor’s degree Energy and Environment at the University of Luxembourg a cooperation agreement. With the introduction of the placement was based on the previously mandatory preliminary waived.
The conclusion of the study is in the 7th Half of the bachelor’s thesis, which for the most part, already outside of the university in a company in the supply gungstechnik questioning. The final period includes a 6-10 weeks. With this work, the students demonstrated that they are able to successfully issue a tray within a specified period independently with scientific means to edit it.
