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).

The automation of production lines will be dealt as interdisciplinary topic. The course contains:- elementary elements of automatized systems- Chain of action: sensors, signalisation, control and closed loop control, power electronics, actors- Conception, description, computation, layout, design and simulation- Availability and reliability- Modern concepts

The bachelor's thesis is the culmination of the program. The students develop, enhance, and demonstrate their methodological abilities to independently tackle and solve a given research problem. The thesis furnishes the students with their first major research experience, and is a further development of the work done in the basis courses, and usually, the focused study.

Future training on selected current topics of the manufacturing technology. Per afternoon a selected topic is presented in several lectures, by the majority by experts from the industry. The students prepare a summary of the lectures given and prepare themselves on the basis of these lectures and own information search.

Dimensioning (strength calculation) of machine parts,shaft - hub - connections, welded and brazed joints, springs, screws, roller and slide bearings, transmissions, gears, clutch and brake as well as their practical applications.

The lecture covers the structure and the properties of metallic materials. In the focus are the branches: microscopic structure; thermally activated processes; solidification; elastic, plastic deformation, creep. Generally the lecture also refers to manufacturing, to the processing, and application of the concerning materials.

Knowledge about the properties and application area of metals. Understanding the fundamentals of high polymers and ceramics for engineers that can be confronted with material decisions in construction and production.

Measuring- and analysis-methods for the determination of transfer functions of mechanical structures. Evaluation and preparation of the measured data for visualisation and interpretation of the dynamic behaviour.

Independent studies on a defined field in manufacturing and reporting.

Independent studies on a defined field in manufacturing and reporting.

Basic concepts of manufacturing engineering, input-process-output model, cost accounting, production drawings/workpiece description, quality control, process simulation basics, overview of the main process groups according to DIN 8580: primary forming, forming, cutting, joining.

Deeper insight in manufacturing processes: drilling, milling, grinding, honing, lapping, electro erosion and electrochemical machining. Stability of processes, process chains and process choice.

Exemplary discussion on modern manufacturing methods to add and delete material as well as modern measuring methods. Introduction to general environmental problems of production up to the product disposal.

The lecture follows the value added process sequence of electric and electronic components. It contains: Development of electric and electronic circuits, design of electronic circuits on printed circuit boards as well as in hybrid technology, integrated test technology, planning of production lines, production of highly integrated electronic on a wafer as well as recycling.

Understanding of the complexity of the assembly process as well as its meaning as success and cost factor. The assembly with the different aspects of adding, moving, adjusting, controling parts etc.. Adding techniques; solvable and unsolvable connections. Assembly plants. Coating techniques and their tasks, in particular corrosion protection.

Introduction to the physical and technical basics of oilhydraulic and pneumatic systems and their components as pumps, motors, cylinders and control valves, with emphasis on servo- and proportional techniques and feedback- controlled drives. In parallel an overview on application examples will be given

The students learn the application of the event-based and computer-based simulation for layout and improvement of production facilities by means of practical examples and by using the so-called «Digital Twin» within the context of «Industry 4.0». They learn how virtual and mixed reality tools can be used together with the Digital Twin to plan and support the operation of a production line.
