Objectives & Approach
Within the transfer project of the TU Braunschweig the existing business games “Holstic” by the IWF and “Outbreak” by the Ifm will be transferred into the topic of “energy and resource efficiency” of the AIP. Business games are said to be an innovative concept of teaching and learning. They enable the students to reflect and use their obtained knowledge in a protected area.
The aim of the transfer project is the development of the business game “Smart and Blue Technologies”, which should be integrated as an interactive part in the lecture of “energy and resource efficient production”. During the business game the students will learn about the complexity of identification, the selection, the configuration and the coordination of actions to reach an efficient but also effective company with regards to supply, savings and use of energy and resources, which they have learned about just theoretically until now. The students undertake tasks of planning, controlling and coordinating of in total four business units: The management of energy and resource supply, a component production, a final assembly as well as the environmental and sustainability department. Each of the four departments should reach within a few periods a specific economical motivated goal and improve the performance of itself as well as the performance of the whole company. The decisions, which will be made should not be aimed only on the own business development but also on the development of the corporate environment.
