In the 2010-2011 academic year, the PEESE program will have a new system for dealing with administrative issues. In the past, a PhD student working for Professor Wozny (one of the professors responsible for the PEESE program) was responsible for handling issues and answering questions related to PEESE. This PhD student was generally very familiar with common issues that PEESE students would have.
Starting in 2010, the position was eliminated, and the official administrators are provided directly by the university. The official administrator is Andreas Finze (http://www.tu-berlin.de/?id=36708). He is a bachelors student who holds limited office hours during the week and is trained to answer general questions. This means that it may be difficult to find answers to very specific questions or complicated scenarios.
If you are having problems, please ask the professors or students in charge of specific courses for help. There are also official guidelines and information regarding PEESE available at the Prüfungsamt (Exam office) and on the university online course website (www.isis.tu-berlin.de).

Questions
If you have specific questions that are not related to any of the posts we have written so far, leave a comment here with your question, and we will try to answer in a post.
Course List
Currently the structure of the PEESE course list is defined by modules and module lists.
1) a Module is a specific subject that you will study, and may include different courses pertaining to this subject, including lectures, exercises, and projects.
2) a Module List is a group of modules that share a common theme. The PEESE course list is divided into six Module Lists, and you will need to complete a certain number of Modules in each Module List.
Below is the translated version of the PEESE course list:
* means required course, E=taught in English, G=taught in German
Module List 1: Process Synthesis (min 12 points)
-Process Systems Engineering (3 points, E)
-Energy Engineering 1* (3 points, E)

-Environmental Technology (3 points, E)
-Technical Reaction Management (6 points, D)
Module List 2: Process Simulation (min 12 points)
-Computer-aided Plant Design (CAP) (4 points, D)
-Process and Plant Dynamics (PAD)* (9 points, D)
-Process Simulation Project 1/2 (3 points, D)
-Thermal Modeling of Basic Operations (3 points, D)
Module List 3: Process Control (min 15 points)
-Fundamentals of Control Engineering* (9 points, D)
-Process Management (6 points, D)
-Process Safety Engineering (6 points, D)
Module List 4: Process Optimization (min 15 points)
-Design, Analysis and Optimization of Energy Plants (9 points, D)
-Fundamentals of Optimization (6 points, E)
-Thermal Design of Compression Refrigeration Machines (6 points, E)
-Process-related Environmental Management Methods (6 points, D)

Introduction
this blog is intended to help both applicants and new students to the PEESE program at TU Berlin who are looking for more information or answers to specific questions. Posts will be written in English in order to help the most people possible, considering that PEESE is a program that accepts students with no prior German experience.
