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

MEB_24_M_4.03.MK2 (P241-0432) Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, regulation 01.10.2024 , semester 4, 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 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Andrea Bohn
Lecturer:
Oliver Müller, M.Eng.

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with common rules for designing components, assemblies and machines. They will be able to construct a machine for a given task in a methodically planned procedure and assemble it in a functional manner. Students will be able to cooperate and communicate with other students in a team, and both present and defend their ideas. They will be able to discuss and evaluate the ideas of others objectively.
Students will improve their subject-related technical English skills. Students will know the subject-specific English terms.

Module content:
A methodical approach to design - From main functional components to standard parts Force flow-oriented and material-economical design Assembly-ready design Component design for additive, generative manufacturing processes “X-Würfel” project: Machine design and construction in a team according to a defined task. The task will be announced in an annual guideline with a specification sheet. The components designed within the framework of the project must also be suitable for production (see the "Fertigungsgerechte Bauteilgestaltung” module).
