Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

In the course, competence grows by getting to know a topic that is important in terms of the load on the environment. With the ability to evaluate the technical-economical-environmental perspective, you aim for rational solutions that are justified in working life.
The lectures of the course are supplemented with group work and tasks to be done independently and in groups, which deepen the topic of the lecture material.
Proper maintenance, at the right time, is a resource-wise, knowledge-based activity that has a direct impact on the company's carbon and hand footprint and thereby contributes to sustainable development.
