GSC 1070: Darmstadt Graduate School of Energy Science and Engineering

达姆施塔特能源科学与工程研究生院的使命是培养未来在多学科领域领先的能源工程师，这些专业知识需要以跨学科的方法识别和掌握最苛刻的科学、工程、经济和社会挑战。主要挑战被认为是从今天的碳基、不可再生的一次能源持续过渡到明天的可再生和环境友好型能源。迎接这一挑战的最佳战略是，一方面改进传统能源技术，使其逐步提高效率，满足对污染物排放日益严格的要求，另一方面，同时开发创新的先进可再生能源技术，这些技术必须达到具有竞争力的技术准备水平，并提供安全、可靠和具有成本效益的解决方案。研究生院代表了达姆施塔特能源中心的教育部分，该中心是该大学现有的实体。达姆施塔特分校不同部门在能源问题上的综合专业知识将联合起来，共同努力提供跨学科教育和研究方案。研究生院将建立四个能源技术集成平台，作为主要的跨学科研究领域：(1)太阳能燃料，(2)建筑集成和能源自给自足的城市住区，(3)智能能源网络，(4)二氧化碳排放量低的灵活能源转换器，研究生院根据三个指导原则组建：(1)转型中的能源技术，(2)能源技术集成，(3)可持续能源技术的发展。科学理念专注于效率和优化战略，并在整合方面注入了强大的额外推动力。教育方案包括准备阶段(相当于硕士课程)和博士研究阶段(涉及新的跨学科课程)。研究生院的标准入学要求是学士学位，但拥有硕士学位的学生也将被录取。研究生院的中心创新元素是在多学科论文项目团队中组织教育和研究。这一培训方案的关键要素是让学生及早参与研究项目，培训可转让的技能，以及全面的指导和监督概念。

The mission of the Darmstadt Graduate School of Energy Science and Engineering is to educate tomorrows leading energy engineers in a multidisciplinary field of expertise needed to identify and master the most demanding scientific, engineering, economic and social challenges in an interdisciplinary approach. The main challenge is viewed to be a continuous transition from the carbon-based, non-renewable primary energy sources of today to renewable and environmentally friendly energy resources of tomorrow. The optimal strategy to meet this challenge is, on the one hand, to improve conventional energy technologies and render them progressively more efficient, to meet the ever more stringent demands on pollutant emissions, and, on the other hand, to simultaneously develop innovative, advanced renewable energy technologies, which must be brought to a competitive technological readiness level and provide safe, reliable and cost-effective solutions. The Graduate School represents the educational part of the TU Darmstadt Energy Center, an existing entity at the university. The comprehensive expertise on energy topics in different departments at the TU Darmstadt will be united in a combined effort to offer programmes of interdisciplinary education and research. Four energy technology integration platforms will be established within the Graduate School as main interdisciplinary research areas: (1) solar fuels, (2) building integration and energy self-sustaining urban settlements, (3) smart energy networks, (4) flexible energy converters with low CO2 emissions, The Graduate School is organised according to three guiding principles: (1) energy technologies in transition, (2) energy technology integration, (3) evolution of sustainable energy technology. The scientific concept concentrates on efficiency and optimisation strategies with a strong additional impetus on integration aspects. The educational programme consists of a preparation phase, equivalent to a masters course, and a PhD research phase, involving a novel interdisciplinary curriculum. The standard entry requirement for the Graduate School is the bachelors degree, but students with a masters degree will also be accepted. The central innovative element of the Graduate School is to organise both education and research in multidisciplinary dissertation project teams. Key elements of this training programme are an early involvement of students in research projects, training in transferable skills and a comprehensive mentoring and supervision concept.
