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: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rüdiger Tiemann

Learning outcomes:
Students will receive an overview of brake designs, their components and functions. After successfully completing this course, students will be able to design and develop brake systems of vehicles. They will be familiar with the design of electronically controlled hydraulic brake systems (ABS, ASR and ESP) and the principles of their control algorithms. They will be able to understand, explain and technically evaluate these braking systems.
