Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Material Science
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019
Module code: FT04.4
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.
P242-0093, P242-0094
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
2V+2U (4 hours per week)

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

FT04.4 (P242-0093, P242-0094) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2015 , semester 1, mandatory course
FT04.4 (P242-0093, P242-0094) Automotive Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.04.2016 , semester 1, mandatory course
FT04.4 (P242-0093, P242-0094) 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 course, students will be familiar with the fundamentals of mechanical material behavior and its characteristic values and will be able to apply them to static and dynamic loads.
- They will be able to determine the characteristic values of a tensile test including those of the plastic behavior, interpret them and apply them to simple automotive components.
- They will be able to trace the properties of a material back to its microstructure and thus, influence the properties by changing the structure.
 
- They will be familiar with the microstructures in the iron-carbon phase diagram and will be able to select appropriate annealing and hardening processes with the aid of time temperature transformation diagrams.
- They will be able to select suitable surface treatment processes with regard to the materials being used.
 
- They will be able to select suitable materials for various automotive applications.
 
 
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.
