FT70 (P242-0100) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 6, optional course, technical
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 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Groh
Lecturer:
Stefan Küster,

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to describe the evolution of the tire, how pneumatic tires work, the requirements of tires, and the basic principles of tire construction.
They will be able to explain the basic mathematical-physical principles of tire properties.
 
They will be able to describe the design parameters and material properties of modern radial tires and their manufacturing process.
Students will be able to describe the driving, comfort and rolling resistance characteristics of tires in relation to the road and the vehicle, and identify measures to optimize these with regard to the conflicting objectives.
 
They will be able to explain the most important tire tests in the tire and vehicle industry.
