Andreas Schmidt ForWind [email protected]

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 By 2030: 8.500 additional MSc/PhD WE

• By 2030: 50.000 additional trained staff needed (European Wind Energy Technology Platform, August 2013)

. About 17% with an MSc or PhD – 8.500 (Power Cluster project 2009)

. Mostly maintenance and operations.

. Education and training slows down technical developments in WE.

We need input from industry in the definition of our curriculum! We need to start teaching O&M, project planning , asset management!

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 Students want Wind Industry

. Profile of students: want to have impact in society . Students want MSc thesis with industry partner . Many are now doing internship/MSc thesis in WE industry . Students enjoy industry guest lectures and events . Siemens, Vestas, ECN, Fugro

EWEM students also bring much to industry: technical talent with international profile and established network

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 Outcomes of the EWEM Master Study

After completing the EWEM programme the graduate will . understand the product development process applied (within and outside of wind energy). . be able to apply and/or improve a scientific methodology to improve product development. . possess the competencies necessary for the design and implementation of complex wind energy systems and their components in one of the four specialisation tracks. . be able to contribute to the formulation and implementation of a research project.

Associate partners can help promotion: students attracted by industry participation. ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 Participant of the 1st EWEM cohort

. Marijn van Dooren was one of six students who made their 2nd EWEM semester (summer sem. 2013) at University Oldenburg . Started recently his Master Thesis at ForWind . Title: ”Analysis of Multiple- Doppler LIDAR Data for the Characterization of Wakes in an Offshore Wind Farm”

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 Master Thesis Marijn van Dooren

. Tasks: . implementing and optimizing data processing algorithms for LIDAR data which has been measured in a wind farm . characterization of the wakes in the offshore wind farm by means of data and algorithms . estimation of errors associated with Multiple-Doppler LIDAR measurements and their processing need . comparison with existing engineering models for wake effects

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 We want to do more together!

. 2012/13: EWEM coordination focused on internal processes

. 2014: bring EWEM to the WE community Increase participation of industry in programme - Guest lectures - Networking events - Summer school - MSc thesis - Internship positions - Scholarships - Create EWEM Advisory Board – we need your feedback

How to make the people of your institution more aware of EWEM? How can we find bridges to work together?

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 We want to improve curriculum

. EWEM Advisory Board needs to be implemented

. Some associate partners already give guest lectures and supervise MSc students + internships. Can we do better? . Work with us defining and reviewing courses and integrated curriculum. . Summer schools. . Take our lecturers into your organization... help train our lecturers understand your challenges and methods.

Teaching staff too much “academic scientists”. We need your help to have more “practicing engineers” teaching.

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 The Idea of STEM-Online (MINT-Online)*

* STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – in Germany known as MINT = Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft und Technik

(translation of a slide by Thomas Poppinga, NEXT-Energy):

„traditional students“

Students' union executive committee of the university Göttingen in the 1950ties [Köhler &Gspski, 1997, citation in Garz, 2004

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 The Idea of STEM-Online (MINT-Online) (translation of a slide by Thomas Poppinga, NEXT-Energy): „traditional students“ Formerly, the „average student“ was: • male • financially independent • full time student • clear career plans • solid career future • graduate of the Abitur (German university entrance qualification), after which immediately or in short term the university studies started

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 23.09.2015 Thomas Poppinga - MINT.online 21 The Idea of STEM-Online (MINT-Online) (translation of a slide by Thomas Poppinga, NEXT-Energy): „phased-out model“ „normal student“:

Survey of the German Deutsches Studentenwerk (Isserstedt et al.,2010): about the economical and social situation of students in Germany in the year 2009 („Die wirtschaftliche und soziale Lage der Studierenden in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2009“):

. 64 % of the students have work experience . 25 % with professional qualification . 66 % with side job . 79 % of those, who are older than 30 have side jobs

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 23.09.2015 Thomas Poppinga - MINT.online 22 The Idea of STEM-Online (MINT-Online)

Additionally, nowadays often the following applies to students:

. They are parents and have to raise their child(ren) – sometimes alone. . They have to or want to change their field of profession.  new „formats“ of study facilities are needed  flexible in time  with less attendance time  Solution:  extension of possibilities for lifelong learning at universities  Blended Learning, a „blend“ of online studies and attendance studies

ForWind Seminar – winter semester 2013/2014 23.09.2015 Thomas Poppinga - MINT.online 23 The Early Beginning

In 2008, the Federal Government and the Federal States of Germany decided about a new initiative for the facilitation of education during the whole lifetime – from early childhood to the further education in the job.

. German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) anounced a contest for new qualification initiatives  the contest „Advancement through Education: Open Universities“ was born
