About

Blue Science - Social and Ecological Responsibility Across Disciplines at TU Berlin allows students to experience interactive university teaching and learning by dealing with their social and ecological responsibility in concrete and active ways.

Overview

Learning Goals

By the end of the Blue Science - Social and Ecological Responsibility Across Disciplines course at TU Berlin , students will...

  • have developed a framework to reflect on scientific achievements in general and their own personal responsibility;
  • have acquired the competence to unveil the complex interdependence of their social, political, ecological and economic surroundings;
  • have developed and strengthened competences such as perspective-taking, interdisciplinary knowledge acquisition, dealing with incomplete and over-complex information, cooperation and coping with individual decision dilemmas;
  • be able to structure and develop interactive learning units to mediate contents and facilitate discussions on topics of their interest;
  • be able to recognize potential spaces to democratically change their own learning experience within their university.

Programme Structure

Structure:

  • The course consists of a few regular lectures and mostly of building blocks which will be conducted by the lecturers and the students themselves.
  • Building blocks, i.e., self-contained study-elements, are the core of the Blue Engineering and the Blue Science courses. They provide clear didactical instructions to facilitate a 90 minutes class as well as compact, yet multiple perspectives on a complex topic, e.g., ethical codes, recycling, pre-implementation diagnostics, social businesses and cooperatives.
  • Some of these study elements help to thoroughly analyze single technologies, e.g., energy saving light bulbs, in respect to the ecological, social, economical, political and gender related impacts of these technologies.
  • In other building blocks, students learn to shift away from the general paradigm of their areas of study. They are encouraged to become problem definers in all areas, including their own proper working conditions.
