This course is only for doctoral students.
2 KP2SC. Schaffner
KurzbeschreibungDoctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, their advisors and the scientific community. Each week a different student gives a 50-60 min presentation of their research (a full introduction, background & findings) followed by discussion with the audience.
LernzielThe key objectives of the course are:
(1) participants will gain knowledge of advanced research in the area of energy;
(2) participants will actively participate in discussion after each presentation;
(3) participants gain experience of different presentation styles;
(4) to create a network amongst the energy research doctoral student community.
InhaltDoctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, to their advisors and to the scientific community. There will be one presentation a week during the semester, each structured as follows: 20 min introduction to the research topic, 30 min presentation of the results, 30 min discussion with the audience.
SkriptSlides will be available on the Energy Science Center pages(www.esc.ethz.ch/events/frontiers-in-energy-research.html).

2 KP4GC. Franck, C. Schaffner
KurzbeschreibungThis course will allow the students to get an interdisciplinary overview of the “Energy” topic. It will explore the challenges to build a sustainable energy system for the future. This will be done through the means of case studies that the students have to work on. These case studies will be provided by industry partners.
LernzielThe students will understand the different aspects involved in designing solutions for a sustainable future energy system. They will have experience in collaborating in interdisciplinary teams. They will have an understanding on how industry is approaching new solutions.

Only for CAS in Applied Technology in Energy and MAS in Applied Technology.
3 KP2GC. Schaffner
KurzbeschreibungThe module provides an introduction to the fundamental science and the underlying technology throughout the rest of the CAS in Applied Technology in Energy.
LernzielParticipants will have an overview over today’s energy system (including energy generation, distribution and consumption) functions and will understand the underlying scientific principles, technologies as well as the regulatory frameworks.
InhaltToday’s energy system (including energy generation, distribution and consumption) will be explained, starting from the underlying scientific principles moving to energy technologies as well as the relevant regulatory frameworks and economic principles. Special attention will be paid to understanding renewable (solar & wind) electricity generation and why this rapidly evolving technology is driving change in multiple industries. If time permits, the basics of climate change science and its relationship to energy related business decisions will be discussed as well.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesMAS AT participants must have successfully completed CAS 1 and 2 in order to enrol.

Non-MAS applicants must satisfy the following requirements:
- Demonstrated managerial experience working with technology companies or industries
- Good knowledge of English
- ETH recognized Master’s degree*

CAS ATE applications will be reviewed by the Admission Committee of the Certificate Programme. The final decision is communicated in writing.

* For non-MAS applicants, preference may be given to applicants with technical degrees or demonstrated practical knowledge in a relevant field for the purpose of maintaining a higher level of technical discussion.

Only for CAS in Applied Technology in Energy and MAS in Applied Technology.
3 KP2GC. Schaffner
KurzbeschreibungThe focus of this module is on understanding electrification technology and their practical application in multiple industries.
LernzielParticipants will understand the opportunities and challenges of the electrification of different sectors (e.g. transportation, buildings, industry).
InhaltThis course takes a case study approach to look at how electrification is currently impacting products and technology use in manufacturing, electronics, automotive/ transport, building construction and facilities management. Some policy and regulatory elements may be discussed to provide context, but the focus is on understanding the technical and practical aspects of implementation. The technical results that can be expected will be discussed in terms of power availability and security, energy efficiency, etc. as well as how electrification supports other potential technical goals such as digitalization and automation.
