Der letzte Schritt
Unterstützung bei der Themenwahl und dem normierten Titelblatt der Abschlussarbeit
Studierende müssen eine Masterarbeit (bzw. eine Doktorarbeit) verfassen, deren Thema sie passend zu einem im Curriculum festgelegten Prüfungsfach selbst wählen bzw. selbst vorschlagen dürfen. Diese Arbeit ist im Zuge einer kommissionellen Fachprüfung vor einem Prüfungssenat öffentlich zu verteidigen.

Eva Fleiß, PhD
Bachelor:
Energy transition: Possible research questions:
- How do individuals evaluate different scenarios of a decarbonized energy system? What knowledge is prevalent? What misconceptions?
- Smart energy technologies allow – together with other technologies, such as photovoltaic power plants, electric vehicles – to explore new possibilities to redesign a sustainable energy system.
- How does the adoption process of different technologies (smart energy technologies, photovoltaic power plants, electric vehicles, etc.) look like amongst private households? Are there specific technologies, which have an “enabling potential”, i.e., foster the adoption of other technologies for a sustainable energy transition?
- Do drivers and barriers for adopting different smart energy technologies vary, depending on the technology in question?
Low-carbon transport: Possible research questions:
- How do individuals evaluate different scenarios of low-carbon transport options? What knowledge is prevalent? What misconceptions?
- Does specific context information of a transport policies (e.g., providing more or less detailed information about consequences of transport measures) foster or hinder the support of these policy measures for low-carbon transport?
Themen aus den Bereichen Entscheidungsverhalten und Nachhaltige Entwicklung
