Energy Conversionand ComponentsEnergy Systemsand EconomicsElectrical EnergyEngineeringEnergy Engineers need a detailed knowledge of energy conversion systemdesign and operation on system and component level. The modules“Energy Engineering” emphasizes applied and advanced thermodynamicas well as economic and environmental aspects for analysis andoptimization of energy-conversion systems. The energy conversionprocesses in the field of renewable energies, are discussed in a separatemodule. In order to cover energy engineering at its whole, apart fromenergy generation, its counterpart, consumption of energy needs to beaddressed. Refrigeration and air condoning is one of the most energyintense sectors respecting special (hot temperature) climatic conditions.Generally the study area Energy Systems and Economics debates thechallenges and obstacles while applying energy technologies. One of thebiggest challenges is the Integration of Renewable Energies withoutcompromising a secure, stable and affordable energy supply. Respectfullythe economic, ecological, political and social framework is issued in anindependent term project. Energy economics and systems further dealswith the complex structure of diverse energy markets, economiccalculation, fundamentals of energy trade and market incentives. Apartfrom this, direct and indirect methods to reduce the energy consumption inbuildings is elaborated in the module “Energy for Buildings”.As electrical energy is the form of energy used for transmission anddistribution Electrical Energy Engineering is treated as a separate modulegroup. As the program aims to target issues most common in the MENAregion, special consideration is given to photovoltaics. In the detachedmodule Photovoltaics is particularized from its fundamental electrical andphysical properties, production methods, most recent research to systemdesign. With a higher penetration of renewable energies and for off-gridapplication, energy storage systems are unavoidable. Energy Storage andConversion discusses diverse stationary energy storage systems along theirapplication and potentials.12
Social skills, intercultural competence, fruitful group work, managerial andpresentation skills along with analytical thinking in problem solving arecore competencies essential for a successful career. Obviously, soft skillscannot be learned by the book. At TU Berlin Campus El Gouna more thanInterdisciplinary20 nations and most diverse backgrounds meet, offering an exceptionalStudies and Projects exposure. The modules Project Management and InterculturalCommunication as well as Interdisciplinary Project take advantage of theunique multicultural and diverse environment in order to encouragestudents to learn essential skills while independently carrying out,managing and finally presenting project work.Electives,Internship andMaster thesisThe German higher education system is dominated by learning of selfmanagement and organization along with an independent and systematicapproach to scientific tasks. Thus students have the opportunity to chooseamong electives, locate the company for their two month industrialinternship and independently select the subject of their projects and theirMaster's thesis topic, supervising institution and professors individually.13
