The participants deal individually with a current problem from the topics of the CAS New Business Models.

The participants deal with a current problem from the topics of CAS System Aspects.

The participants, in heterogeneous teams, deal with a current problem from the topics of the CAS Technology Potentials.

Students develop and build a product from A-Z! They work in teams and independently, learn to structure problems, to identify solutions, system analysis and simulations, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They build the product with access to a machine shop and state of the art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, etc).

Introduction to digital, discrete-time control systems; differences from and similarities with continuous-time controllers; problem-solving at the junction of continuous-time and discrete-time systems.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of embedded control systems. The concepts introduced are implemented and verified on a microprocessor-controlled haptic device.

Physical description and mathematical models of mobility oriented energy systems. Application of control and optimization tools to mobility systems.

Introduction to current and future engine systems and their control systems

Selected laboratory experiments in physics, mechanical and process engineering. With the Laboratory Training held during the fifth semester, the students learn how to handle and apply measurement methods and devices. Students are offered a diversified choice of laboratory experiments at least eleven of which must be completed. Five of the chosen experiments must be in physics.

Individually and independently, students address a practice-related problem in the area of future transport systems. To do this they deploy, under the supervision of an expert, what they have learned in the MAS programme. They set out the problem, the procedure and the solution in a written report which they present and defend in front of a specialist audience.

Air and shipping traffic cover a substantial part of human mobility, air traffic in passenger as well as freight transport, shipping mainly in freight transport. Students gain an overview, limit modes of mobility and learn to classify air and shipping traffic in the overall system of mobility.

Introduction to system modeling for control. Generic modeling approaches based on first principles, Lagrangian formalism, energy approaches and experimental data. Model parametrization and parameter estimation. Basic analysis of linear and nonlinear systems.

The module provides a foundation in the current situation and short- and middle-term development directions of powertrain and automotive engineering in the context of passenger & goods transport. Corresponding energy sources and resulting consequences for the energy system are addressed. Participants will be enabled to identify potentials of these technologies and apply them to concrete problems.

Introduction to current and future propulsion systems and the electronic control of their longitudinal behavior
