[*]6 double-lectures, two of them being tought by Prof. Michèle Knodt from Department of History and Social Sciences, by Prof. Florian Steinke and Prof. Stefan Niessen from Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology .
[*]a seminar consisting of 3 times 90 minutes, during which interdisciplinary teams of students from political and engineering sciences jointly analyse a recent study on the Energiewende and mutually present a short synthesis to each other.
[*]two half-days practical training during which the interdisciplinary teams based on a computer simulation take their own decisions on the regulatory framework, the expansion of the energy system and its operation. They experience in accellerated mode the impact on CO2 emsissions, costs and security of supply. In the practical part the students apply the learnings practically by means of a computer based serious game. They take the roles of electricity suppliers, industry, private homes and politicians, they take decisions on operation and expansion of the energy system. Through the computer simulation the students experience the consequences of their decisions on costs, CO2 emissions and security of supply in in time-lapse for the persion 2020 to 2050.
