New Podcast Episode: Bachelor's in Green Engineering
Professor Jens Weber and student Lukás Veselý discuss the new Green Engineering bachelor's program.
This fall, our university will launch its new Green Engineering bachelor’s degree program for the first time. Graduates of the degree programme will be able to develop comprehensive solutions to design product lifecycles in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. They will learn how to minimize resource consumption and reuse materials to develop products with a minimal environmental footprint. In the latest episode of our hi@hszg university podcast, Viktoria Hohlfeld talks with Professor Jens Weber and student Lukás Veselý about the new degree programme.
… that the degree programme lies at the intersection of the two disciplines of engineering and Environmental Sciences, and how the university came up with the idea for the degree programme.
… how Lukás went about choosing his major, why there wasn’t a single “moment of truth” for him in that context—and why he might not even need one.
… why the Green Engineering degree programme is so important today and why people should definitely study it.
… why Prof. Weber believes you first need a solid technical foundation to tackle the “cool stuff” later on.
… that the program is very project-based and can sometimes involve tasks like, “Build a solar cell out of organic materials!”
… why you don’t have to be a whiz at physics and the like for Green Engineering, but you also shouldn’t be afraid of formulas.
… what student life is like in Zittau, how Lukás prefers to live, and what he does in his free time.
… that even as a student, you can participate in research projects and earn money.
… that Prof. Weber didn’t know what he wanted to do for a living when he started college, and that it’s more important to study something you’re passionate about and that truly interests you.
