Bionics in Automotive Engineering

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Bionics in Automotive Engineering
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021
Module code: FTM-BIO
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

FTM-BIO (P242-0101) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2021 , semester 1, optional course
FTM-BIO (P242-0101) Automotive Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.04.2023 , semester 1, optional course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 67.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Weber
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Weber

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have an overview of what bionics can do. They will be able to identify analogies between nature and technology and learn ways to implement and apply them in simple cases. Students will be familiar with the possibilities of bionic design optimization and will be able to apply them to simple cases.
