Learning outcomes:
Students are able to design, construct, operate and maintain environmental plants concerning technical, economic and ecological issues.
They are capable to evaluate different solutions, to explain in an objective and understandable way, to take and explain decisions.
The students can present their results in an appropriate manner; furthermore they can handle specific problems on their own in a scientific way.
They are able to work in teams to solve together engineering tasks
