5 BESCHREIBUNG DER MODULE UND LEHRVERANSTALTUNGEN Die Modul- bzw. Kursbeschreibungen wurden von den jeweilig verantwortlichen Lehrenden entwickelt und wurden im Rahmen eines Workshops aller Lehrenden aufeinander abgestimmt. Vor der Beschreibung der jeweiligen Kurse werden grundlegende Intentionen der verschiedenen Module sowie deren Vernetzung dargestellt, um einen Überblick der Studieninhalte zu geben. Die Vorlagen zur Beschreibung der Kurse basieren auf der Vorlage des japanischen Bildungsministeriums. Die japanischen Projektpartner mussten die Kursbeschreibungen zur Genehmigung vorlegen. Modul 1: ECOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY Im Modul Ecology and Technology werden die ökosystemaren Wirkungszusammenhänge in Kurs 1.1 ausführlich dargestellt, um zu veranschaulichen, dass das Ökosystem die Begriffe der Ineffizienz und des Abfalls nicht kennt. In Abgrenzung dazu werden die Grundlagen der derzeitigen Ver- und Entsorgungssysteme von Betrieben und Regionen erläutert, um zu veranschaulichen, dass unser anthropogenes System verschiedene Optimierungsansätze bietet. In diesem Modul werden unter anderem die Grundlagen der Ökosystemlehre wie auch die Grundlage der derzeit gängigen technischen Systeme im Bereich der Energieerzeugung und des Wasser- und Abwassermanagements erläutert. Das Modul 1 bildet die Basis für die Module 4 und 11.

Die Studierenden lernen anhand von Praxisbeispielen nachhaltige regionale Ver- und Entsorgungsansätze kennen. Die Praxisbeispiele kommen überwiegend aus dem IfaS Forschungsumfeld. Dieses Modul dient als Querschnittsmodell, um den Studierenden die Anwendung neuer Technologien und Strategien in den Bereichen Energie, Abfall, Wasser und Abwasser sowie Verkehr zu vermitteln und die thematische Verbindung der verschiedenen Module herzustellen. Das Modul 2 wird stets zu Beginn des IMAT Studiengangs gelehrt und stellt neben der Orientierungsveranstaltung die Vernetzung der Inhalte sicher. Das Vermitteln von Faktenwissen und das Aufzeigen von Best-Practice-Beispielen soll die Studierenden zur Auswahl eigener Forschungsansätze befähigen. Diese Forschungsansätze werden in Modul 5 weiter vertieft. In Modul 11 werden die exemplarisch aufgezeigten Umwelttechnologien weiter vertieft. Die Module 6 und 7 zeigen auf, wie regionale Wachstumsstrategien mittels geeigneter Politikmodelle (Circular Economy, Zero-Emission-Region etc) und neuer Finanzierungsstrategien (Globaler Emissionshandel) umgesetzt werden können.

Der Aufbau und die Wirkungsweise von komplexen Systemen sowie die Wirkungsketten werden anhand biologischer Fallbeispiele (z.b. Schwarmverhalten etc.) exemplarisch vermittelt. Ziel ist es, bei den Studierenden die Fähigkeit zur kritischen Überprüfung von Technologien in bestimmten Kontexten zu erzielen und somit die Grundlagen für eine Technikfolgenabschätzung zu legen. Hier werden auch die historischen Entwicklungen in der ingenieurswissenschaftlichen Herangehensweise des Lösens von Umweltproblemen behandelt. Die Studierenden werden befähigt, bestimmte technologische Alternativen und deren Folgen abzuschätzen und zu vergleichen. Dieses Modul ist mit Modul 11 vernetzt und leistet darüber hinaus einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Gestaltung eigener Forschungsprojekte, die im Rahmen von Modul 5 initiiert werden sollen.

16 Modul 5: PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR ENGINEERS Das Vertiefungsseminar MATERIAL FLOW MANAGEMENT RESEARCH PROJECT SEMINAR vermittelt im ersten Teil die Grundlagen der Projektentwicklung, welche die Studierenden befähigen soll, ab dem zweiten (Teil II) ein eigenes Forschungsprojekt zu entwickeln, das letztlich die Basis für die Master Thesis darstellt. Die Studierenden werden bereits bei der Einschreibung aufgefordert, auf zwei Seiten ihr Forschungsinteresse zu beschreiben (Research Proposal). Auf Grundlage des Vorschlags wird dann versucht, im Modul die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen und Methoden zur Umsetzung des Forschungsprojekts zu vermitteln. Die Studierenden dürfen von der ursprünglichen Forschungsidee abweichen und einen neuen Forschungsschwerpunkt definieren. Allerdings soll die Abgabe des Research Proposals die Studierenden vor Studienbeginn dazu anhalten, sich mit der Materie Stoffstrommanagement und den Inhalten des Studiengangs früh auseinander zu setzen. Dieses Modul ist daher als Vertiefungsseminar konzipiert und greift insbesondere die Inhalte der Module 2 und 3 auf. Der Kurs 5.1. Business Planning for Engineers soll die Studierenden befähigen, die technologischen Veränderungsprozesse in Kosten-Nutzen- Rechnungen abzubilden und als Geschäftsmodelle ökonomisch den Entscheidungsträgern zu vermitteln.

19 Modul 6: TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF DE-CARBONISING STRATEGIES Das Modul 6 TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF DE-CARBONISING STRATEGIES zielt darauf ab, technische Lösungsansätze zur Verringerung der globalen Erwärmung vertiefend zu behandeln. Im Kurs GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE: CHEMISTRY, ECONOMICS AND POLITICS werden die Grundlagen der Globalen Erwärmung vermittelt und multilaterale Handlungsansätze aufgezeigt. In Diskussionsrunden werden den Studierenden die volkswirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der globalen Erwärmung nahe gebracht. Ein Schwerpunkt bildet die Umsetzung des Kyoto-Protokolls. Es wird versucht, im Rahmen des Seminars eine Exkursion nach Kyoto (unweit des Ritsumeikan University Campus) zu unternehmen, um den Studierenden den Spirit von 1997 authentisch zu vermitteln. Die japanischen Partner sind bestrebt, ein Mitglied der damaligen japanischen Verhandlungsteams zu einem Gastvortrag zu bewegen. Der Kurs GREENHOUSE GAS ABATEMENT STRATEGIES AND CARBON TRADING baut auf dem vorangehenden Seminar auf. Hier werden konkrete Handlungsansätze für Emissionsreduktionsstrategien beschrieben und die Wirkungsweise der Flexiblen Mechanismen des Kyoto-Protokolls beleuchtet. Der internationale Handel mit Emissionszertifikaten bietet gerade innovativen und ressourcen-effizienten Technologien die Möglichkeit die oftmals höheren Investitionskosten ko-zufinanzieren. Die Modellbeispiele werden in dem Modulen 2 und 3 vermittelt. Die technische Lösungskompetenz zur Umsetzung eines Projekte wird in Modul 11 vermittelt.
