For MAVT BSc and ITET BSc only. Prerequisites for the focus projects: a. Basis examination successfully passed b. Block 1 and 2 successfully passed For enrollment, please contact the D-MAVT Student Administration.	0 credits	15A	K. Wegener
Abstract	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).
Objective	The various objectives of the Focus Project are: - Synthesizing and deepening the theoretical knowledge from the basic courses of the 1. - 4. semester - Team organization, work in teams, increase of interpersonal skills - Independence, initiative, independent learning of new topic contents - Problem structuring, solution identification in indistinct problem definitions, searches of information - System description and simulation - Presentation methods, writing of a document - Ability to make decisions, implementation skills - Workshop and industrial contacts - Learning and recess of special knowledge - Control of most modern engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, CAD, CAE, PDM)

151-0729-00L	Welding Technology	4 credits	3G	K. Wegener
Abstract	The course provides a survey over the mostly used welding technologies and a basic metallurgical understanding for planning and realization of welded joints.
Objective	The students will gain the competence and understanding to select welding processes properly, to specify the seam preparation and to predict the achievable welding results.
Content	The cours presents in some detail the welding processes gas welding, TIG, MIG/MAG, Fillerwire welding arc welding and laser welding. After the resentation of the basics of welding the special properties of the different process technologies are explained and the energy sources and the interaction between the process energy and the material discussed. The metallurgical basics to answer material problems are presented. From this process parameters can then be derived, to achieve the desired seam qualities.
Lecture notes	will be distributed accompanying the course progress together with the lecture slides.
Prerequisites / Notice	The course is oriented twoards the requirements of IIW / SVS and is part of the program to attain the international welding engineer diploma (IWE).
