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

MAM-7.4 Engineering and Management, Master, ASPO 01.10.2004 , semester 7, 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).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 86.25 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended knowledge:
(Phase I studies in mech. eng., bachelor’s degree)

[updated 14.08.2012]
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfram Seibert
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfram Seibert

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course, students will have acquired a basic overview of the construction and performance characteristics of state-of-the-art drive motors, torque converters, couplings and clutches, differential gearings and wheel drives. They will be able to design a complete drive train with all its components to meet a set of technical specifications and to dimension and configure the assembly to meet drive performance and fuel consumption needs. Students who have completed this course will be in a position to take on responsibility for developing and designing traction drives.
