Learning outcomes/competences

Students are able to implement and use comprehensive topics in the field of engineering informatics with the help of modern development tools (Matlab/Simulink). These include:
  • Software quality
  • Modeling and control of technical contexts and technical processes
  • Programming and simulation under Simulink, including the creation of physical models
  • Programming and simulation with Matlab
  • Modeling of decision routines with the Stateflow tool
  • Programming of microcontrollers with Matlab and Simulink
  • Software solutions for machine learning and deep learning   

Contents

The central content of the module is the application of Matlab and Simulink in software development relevant to mechanical engineering. Physical relationships are therefore converted into various model forms so that product development can be learned with the help of digital images of reality. Important areas of technical development, such as the control of technical systems or the interaction between software and hardware, are part of this module. Using the example of Arduino programming with Matlab and Simulink, students learn how to integrate software solutions into technical processes.
In addition to modeling, current topics in mechanical engineering are also covered, such as programming AI, machine learning and deep learning. To this end, image and pattern recognition using neural networks is also covered in this module.

Learning outcomes/competences

The students are able to describe acoustic phenomena objectively and subjectively. To this end, students can apply central acoustic measurement methods for the design of noise and vibration behaviour and use the results for the development of optimized technical systems.

In addition, you will learn how to use acoustic measurement technology and the procedure for machine and vehicle acoustic analysis, e.g. for determining natural frequencies or critical transfer paths. Students are thus able to describe the overall vibration behavior of technical systems and transfer this to the design of low-noise and low-vibration machines.

Furthermore, the effect of noise on people and the social significance of noise emissions are known. In addition to objective limit values, students learn about psychoacoustic effects and methods for evaluating subjective noise impressions and can use these specifically for noise assessment.

Learning outcomes/competences

The students have the skills to actively participate in the development of a sustainable society
. This course and the confident use of the UMBERTO software tool enable students to position themselves well on the job market, as the software is an established LCA tool at research institutes as well as in industry. The learning objectives of the course include the following points:
  1. The students learn to actively participate in the development of a sustainable society with a high degree of practical relevance.
  2. Students learn to incorporate the three pillars of sustainability (environment, economy and society) into an overall assessment of products and production processes in their analysis and thus implement the concept of sustainability holistically in development.
  3. Students can recognize the fundamental interrelationships of sustainable resource use and have the ability to identify concrete potential for optimization.
  4. Students can critically analyze the resource use of technical processes along the entire value chain and identify key factors influencing sustainability.
  5. Students learn about examples of sustainable resource use and know how to correctly classify their influence on various limiting factors such as water, soil and air.
  6. The students learn to combine the aforementioned points in a computer-aided material flow and sustainability analysis. In doing so, they acquire additional knowledge of basic calculation methods for the design and evaluation of processes, taking ecological and Business Studies aspects into account in addition to technical issues.
As a key skill, students learn how to solve practical life cycle assessment problems using software-supported methods.

 

Contents

In terms of content, the course deals with the various principles of the sustainable use of resources and their dependence on general development. The teaching concept of the course is based on the idea of blended learning. In addition to more general questions such as "What is sustainability and how can it be measured?", this concept focuses on the computer-aided creation of material flow and sustainability analyses (LCA).

In the sense of blended learning, you will independently acquire the essential theoretical content on the topic block 'Sustainability and Resources' via an e-learning format, consisting of reading texts available online (readings) and answering associated learning and exercise questions.

In the block seminar part, the focus is on supervised learning of computer-aided material flow and sustainability analysis for selected technical systems and processes that are relevant to you as part of the specialization in mechanical, energy and environmental engineering. In supervised small groups of 2-3 people, you will receive an introduction to the software and research the information and data relevant to the underlying technical processes (research phase).

In the subsequent implementation phase, the students use the researched information and the software to model the technical processes along the entire value chain of the relevant industrial products and carry out a life cycle assessment and scenario analysis of these processes, taking into account various limiting factors as part of a Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). In the final part of the block seminar, you will prepare analyses and reports on specific technical optimization potentials based on the knowledge gained in this way and will be able to name the key factors influencing the sustainability of the underlying processes for more sustainable product development/production.

Learning outcomes/competences

The students have an overview of the current forms of communication used in vehicles. In addition to the CAN bus, students learn about other important data communications such as Ethernet, LIN, Flexray, MOST and A2B. The basics learned are supplemented by practical tasks in which the students use current development tools from the vehicle industry (e.g. the CANoe software from Vector Informatik).
In the field of microcontrollers, students have in-depth specialist knowledge of how microcontrollers are structured, how they are programmed and which development tools are used in vehicle electronics. The focus is on the special technical features that must be taken into account for correct functioning in the vehicle. This relates to the hardware-related software, including measures to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.
The theoretical knowledge is supplemented by practical labs in which students implement and test CAN communication with microcontrollers (Arduino) and MATLAB / Simulink.

Contents

One focus is the communication in the vehicle between different electronic systems, e.g. CAN-BUS, Ethernet etc.
The introduction and investigation of the CAN bus takes place in the laboratory for vehicle electronics using tools from Vector: CANoe, CAN-Scope, CAN stress module, LIN module, FlexRay module and Ethernet module.
During the seminar, participants will work in small groups to solve various tasks relating to the CAN BUS.
Another focus is on teaching the special features that must be taken into account when installing microcontrollers in vehicles.
In order to learn how to use the resources on a microcontroller, various applications are developed on an Arduino with MATLAB / Simulink in the practical exercises.
