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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.

Learning outcomes:
H.-W. Groh: Wireless applications in and about the vehicle
After sucessfully completing this module, students will be able to evaluate the specifics of high-frequency signal generation in a transmitter, the propagation of such signal, and its processing in a receiver. In particular, they will be able to apply this transmission technology to the automotive field, recognize the special challenges associated with this environment and, based on this, derive solution approaches for implementation.
  
TH. Heinze / M. Fries:
Students will be familiar with the latest developments and trends in engine development based on current cases. They will be able to edit technical articles and understand important features of new innovative technical solutions and processes and associate them with the ongoing state of the art. Students will be able to keep up with the development departments in the automotive industry by being familiar with new technical terms, solution approaches and the tool chains used. By studying and discussing professional articles in the course, students learn to work with them.
 
  
R. Tiemann: Mechatronische Systeme zur geregelten Längs-/Quer- und Vertikaldynamik im Fahrwerk
Students will be able to explain, analyze and evaluate new vehicle systems for vehicle dynamics control, categorized into longitudinal/transverse dynamics and vertical dynamics. They will be able to evaluate the interaction of wheel-slip control with regard to driving characteristics. In this context, they will be able to analyze the effects and impact of new OEM systems and explain their advantages and disadvantages. More specifically, they will be able to illustrate the distinction between the control of e-differentials, ESP single wheel, all-wheel steering. Furthermore, they will be able to can evaluate new suspension/damping systems by comparing and describing the conflict between driving safety and comfort (sky-hook control). Finally, they will be able to explain and evaluate the individual systems in a fully networked vehicle in terms of the interaction between chassis, vehicle and driver.
 
 
J. Hoffmann: Integral vehicle safety
Students will be familiar with the currently relevant development status cases, as well as emerging technological trends in integral vehicle safety. They will be able to review, interpret and edit relevant technical articles on active and passive vehicle safety, describe the important features of new technical solutions and classify them according to the state of the art. Furthermore, they will be able to analyze and evaluate the operating principles of new technologies. They will also be familiar with new legal requirements, technical terms, solution approaches and evaluation methods.
