The dual Bachelor's degree course "Integrated Sustainable Building Technology" at htw saar is offered in cooperation with the ASW (Akademie der Saarwirtschaft) in Neunkirchen.
The dual Bachelor's degree course "Integrated Sustainable Building Technology" is an interdisciplinary, methodically oriented course at the interface of architecture, civil engineering and energy and process engineering with a focus on supply engineering, green technologies (in particular renewable energy systems, storage and hydrogen technology) and building technology (electrical building technology, sanitary, heating, cooling and air conditioning technology, building automation) including their integration in new buildings and their modernization in existing buildings. more
The admission requirements for a dual Bachelor's degree course at htw saar and ASW are the general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur), the entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences (Fachabitur) or the subject-specific higher education entrance qualification. Further admission options and special regulations can be found here.
With the successful completion of the course (Bachelor of Engineering), you will not only acquire your first professional qualification, but you will also be optimally prepared for your professional activity as a specialist and manager in the development of technical building equipment (TBE) technologies at manufacturing companies as well as in the design of building services engineering and in the planning and coordination of TBE projects in planning offices, state authorities and contracting companies as well as in the facility management of large public or private buildings or industrial companies. As a generalist, you will be able to find your way around the current major changes (megatrends), e.g. through digitalization and sustainability, and make your contribution to them.
The degree is an excellent qualification for a postgraduate Master's degree (e.g. Master's in Engineering and Management (specialization: Process Engineering); Master's in Industrial Engineering).
Based on the mathematical and scientific foundations in higher mathematics, experimental physics and general chemistry (1st and 2nd semesters), students acquire broad-based skills in technical mechanics (with fluid mechanics), thermodynamics (introduction to heat transfer), electrical engineering (with electrical drive systems), materials science and construction technology (1st to 3rd semesters) in the supply engineering part of the course. The field of architecture and civil engineering enables students to develop skills in building construction, building materials technology, building physics and sustainable building concepts as well as construction management and operation (semesters 1 to 4). In the "Digitalization" area, you will acquire comprehensive skills in applied computer science and Industry 4.0 with big data, cyber-physical systems and artificial intelligence.
In the core and focus areas (3rd to 6th semesters), which are geared towards integrated sustainable building technology, students specialize in thermodynamics of apparatuses and machines and thermodynamics of mixtures as well as course-specific heating, cooling and air conditioning technology including gas technology (e.g. for biogas or hydrogen), electrical building technology and automation technology (fundamentals and building automation) including electrical energy systems and renewable energy systems.
In addition to the continuous integration of the topics of "energy efficiency", "sustainability" and "CO2 neutrality", students have the opportunity to specialize in storage technologies and hydrogen technology in the compulsory elective area (5th semester).
Students thus acquire comprehensive skills to holistically consider and solve complex tasks and problems of integrated sustainable building technology, whereby they benefit from the additional acquisition of interdisciplinary skills in English, construction management, project management in technical building services planning and scientific work.
A dual study program comprises two places of learning: the ASW for theory and the training company for practice. This ensures a systematic transfer of the theoretical content learned to the practical problems in the respective training company. This leads to a high level of professional competence in graduates, which prepares young people very well for the challenges of their professional life in a complex, globalized and digitalized economy, more
A clearly structured block phase model for the optimal integration of theory and practice, to which the study program is exclusively tailored, is an important feature of this special study model.
