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

FT04.5 (P242-0010, P242-0050, P242-0051) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.04.2016 , semester 1, mandatory course
FT04.5 (P242-0010, P242-0050, P242-0051) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 1, mandatory 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).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
FT16.1 Vehicle Superstructures and Lightweight Construction
FT19.1 Passive Vehicle Safety
FT26.1 Project Work 1
FT30 Engineering Project in English

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to solve a specific design problem using a systematic, method-supported approach.
Course component "CAD":
  
 
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will:
- be able to use the basic functions of a modern 3-D CAD system, as well as apply the basic methodical procedures for creating a 3-D model.
Students will be able to generate sketches, model simple components and derive drawings (2-D) from them, as well as create assemblies.
  
Course component "Design Methodology":
After successfully completing a project in this course, students will be able to:
- design the development process of a vehicle-specific component and in doing so,
- systematically work out, analyze and evaluate solutions for individual sub-functions within an overall system and find the technically and economically optimal solution.
- apply development methods (functional structure, morphological box, variant reduction, evaluation) when designing a new component/system.
  
Within the framework of a final interdisciplinary project (FT04.2, FT04.3, FT04.4 and FT04.5), the students must design a small component in a team after determining loads, then dimension it in accordance with the loads and stresses and produce a production drawing in accordance with the standards. In this way, students will become familiar with the interaction of sub-disciplines and important interfaces and be able to practice running through the sequence of development steps, which they can then, in subsequent projects, independently transfer to other components.
