The broad educational focus of civil engineering studies requires a socially relevant examination of the core tasks of the civil engineer profession.
Example:
• Social developments: examination of demographic developments, target group needs in different areas and regions (transport/infrastructure/environmental technology)
• Social demands in the areas of housing, transport and environmental technology, as well as the connection between construction, technology and users
• Social requirements and concerns: quality, security of supply, risk: ‘further, higher, more complicated’; fascination and fear of engineering
• Examination of the topics: risk, innovation, sustainability
