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).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 56.25 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. Rüdiger Tiemann
Lecturer:
N.N.

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will have an overview of the technology and driving dynamics of motorcycles and be able to understand and analyze the application and design of individual motocycle components and assemblies according to the state of the art. This includes wheel-tire combinations, spring elements, brake systems, frame constructions, the motorcycle fork, electrical chassis control systems, as well as the drive train and drive unit.
Students will be able to name and evaluate driving dynamic parameters of motorcycles and to qualitatively assess their effects on the driving behavior of the motorcycles.
They will have gained insight into road tests, chassis dynamometers, as well as simulation programs that are used in the motorcycle development process.
Students will be familiar with the most important development tools used for the development of motorcycles and will be able to carry out or call for specific development steps in their later professional engineering career.
