The Infrastructure Systems degree program deals with the planning, construction and operation of technical infrastructure facilities. This includes the transport networks with their roads as well as railways and waterways, as well as the private and public transport moving on them, which ensures our mobility. The systems for energy and water supply as well as wastewater disposal are also part of it. The design of technical infrastructure is a subarea of civil engineering.

The Study
Resource-efficient infrastructure systems for progressive cities and regions
To ensure that infrastructure systems function well in the long term and also in their interrelationships with each other, questions of urban design and spatial planning are basic principles of planning. Today, geodata are increasingly being incorporated and digital planning models and tools are used.
One focus is on the design of transportation infrastructure facilities. The design initially deals with the routing of roads and railroads, with traffic intersections being of particular importance for traffic control. Traffic control facilities such as traffic signals are assigned to traffic engineering. For the operation of public transport systems, the creation of timetables is a central task. The networking of traffic systems and the incorporation of digital technologies in the sense of a SmartCity are becoming increasingly important.
Construction and maintenance of roads and railroads involves the type of construction, the selection and processing of building materials and construction methods, and analysis methods for assessing damage.
The design of facilities of the supply and disposal infrastructure form another focus. Urban water management is concerned with the conservation and use of natural water resources for the supply of water and in the disposal of wastewater. The fields of activity of infrastructure systems specialists are closely linked to energy and environmental issues.

Is this course of study a good fit for you?
As a civil engineer for infrastructure systems, you should naturally have an interest not only in structures and construction processes, but also in mobility, transport, and energy and water supply. A good understanding of mathematics and physics is also required for your studies. For the planning of cities and spaces, geodata and digital planning tools are used in particular, which requires basic IT skills and openness to this.
Already during your studies of infrastructure systems you will alternately work independently and in a team. This requires good communication skills, but also solution-oriented and independent thinking. During the internship semester, which can be carried out anywhere in Europe, you will get the chance to work with different cultural groups, gain experience in project management, train your teamwork skills and work with different cultural groups.

Prepared for the working world
The Infrastructure Systems degree program prepares you to competently handle the following situations:
- You will accompany the construction of new facilities in urban water management as well as construction measures on existing facilities from the first sketch to completion, e.g. the construction of a sewage treatment plant, the reconstruction and modernization of a waterworks or the rehabilitation of a sewer network.
- To this end, they design, construct and calculate the individual parts of the plants from the pipe to the digestion tower. They decide on the construction method, select the construction elements and the appropriate materials and technologies.
- They ensure that the plants comply with both legal and technical requirements. For example, they accompany the approval process and ensure compliance with the current requirements for the purification performance of the waterworks.
- They plan and control the execution of construction projects in the office and on the construction site. In dialogue with architects, specialist planners, clients and the executing companies, they ensure the completion of the construction project with regard to time, costs and quality.
- They operate the facilities of urban water management and ensure that drinking water flows from the tap at all times and the wastewater is cleaned according to the state of the art so that the water bodies are not polluted.
- They work on technical problems independently and systematically in a team as well as individually on the basis of scientific working methods. In doing so, they apply their knowledge and skills, for example, in the use of specialized software for planning and dimensioning of facilities and geo-information software for computer-assisted networking of all information on the inventory of facilities and expand their knowledge as needed. They support decision-making processes, e.g. through reports and presentations.
- In addition to the classic range of activities, fields of work are open to them with manufacturers of construction products and plant technology (Germany is the world leader in plant technology for urban water management), in sales and in advisory and expert activities.
