Learning Outcomes: Knowledge Broadening
The module should successfully deepen the fundamentals of sustainability in food production. This is achieved by walking through different cases and perspectives.
Knowledge Deepening
Examples of sustainability in industy are dealt with in detail. Typical chapters of sustainability in engineering are explained.
Instrumental Skills and Competences
This module is a preparation for analyzing sustainability models in engineering. Participants get trained to judge project impacts.
Communicative Skills and Competences
The participants are able to communicate in english language within a technical project.
Systemic Skills and Competences
Today technical projects are often of interdisciplinary character. Thus, participants have to communicate with engineers and scientists of any kind and also with business administrators. During the course participants will get aware on this.
