The course is organized in the form of seminars held by the students. Topics selected from the core disciplines of the curriculum (water resources, urban water engineering, material fluxes, waste technology, air polution, earth observation) are discussed in the class on the basis of scientific papers that are illustrated and critically reviewed by the students.

In the Experimental and Computer Laboratory students are introduced to research and good scientific practice. Experiments are conducted in different disciplines of environmental engineering. Data collected during experiments are compared to the corresponding numeric simulations. The results are documented in reports or presentations.

Project on a topic pertaining to Environmental Engineering or Geomatics and Planning. The project work is carried out in a team.

An increasing demand for infrastructure management skills can be observed in the environmental engineering practice. This course gives an introductory overview of infrastructure management skills needed for urban water infrastructures, with a specific focus on performance, risk and engineering economics analyses.

In this course students are introduced to how environmental problems in the areas of water quantity and quality, waste production and recycling, air pollution control, are formulated and solved with engineering methods. The course makes a connection between the theoretical Bachelor foundation classes and practical topics of environmental engineering in six main thematic areas.

Typical parameter which are relevant for environmental systems are measured with modern sensors. The measuring devices are put together and programmed using a Sensebox (Arduino-based measuring box). The environmental data are analyzed and compared with information from literature.

Introduction to urban water management (water supply, urban drainage, wastewater treatment, sewage sludge treatment). Introduction to Urban Water Management is a self-study course.

After finishing successfully this seminar you are able to:- do fast and efficient literature researches. You know the value and reliabilty of different sources.- recognise the quality of a publication fast and efficiently. On the basis of several good and bad examples you developed a critical way of reading.- you found and improved your very own personal style for presentations

Systematic introduction of material balances, transport processes (kinetics, stoichiometry and conservation), ideal reactors, residence time distribution, heterogeneous systems, dynamic response of reactors, parameter identification, local sensitivity, error propagation, and Monte Carlo simulations. Introduction to real-time control (PID controllers). Extensive numerical simulations with coding.

In this course, students learn modern urban drainage engineering approaches, critical thinking, decision making in a complex environment as well as dealing with insufficient data and ill-defined problems.

Welche Methoden stehen uns in der Siedlungsentwässerung zu Verfügung, um angesichts neuer Chemikalien und des Klimawandels auch in Zukunft für lebendige Gewässer zu sorgen? Dieser Frage soll mithilfe von Vorlesungen, Übungen und der Modellierung von relitätsnahen Aufgabestellungen aus "Generellen Entwässerungsplänen (GEP)" nachgegangen werden.
