| 151-0079-11L | Enhanced Exoskeleton for Paraplegics Prerequisite: Enrollment for 151-0079-10L Enhanced Exoskeleton for Paraplegics in HS18. | 14 credits | 15A | R. Gassert, M. Meboldt | |
| 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). | ||||
| Learning 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) | ||||
| Content | Several teams of 4-8 students of the ETH as well as students from other universities realize a product during two semesters. On the basis of a vision and provocative problem definition, all processes of product development are beat down close-to-reality: conception, design, engineering, simulation, draft and production. The teams are coached by experienced staff who gives them the possibility of a unique learning experience. Innovative ideas of the research labs of the ETH, of industrial partners or students are selected and realized by the teams. | ||||

| 151-0300-00L | Innovation Project | 2 credits | 2U | M. Meboldt | |
| Abstract | The students are going through a product development process starting with the first idea to the functional product. The participants will learn to work on a complex development task in a team (5-6 pers.), to structure a given problem, to generate and evaluate ideas as well as the design and realization of the product with subsequent verification. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students learn and experience the principles of product development. In addition to acquiring development methodical responsibilities, the main focus is on working together as a team. The participants are taught how to structure a complex development objective and how to achieve this objective in team work. In the end, the students will master the basics of development processes and development methodical tools. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Successfull completion of the project is mandatory for lecture certificate. | ||||
| 151-0302-00L | Innovation Process | 2 credits | 1V + 1U | M. Meboldt, Q. Lohmeyer | |
| Abstract | The lecture considers the basic steps of the innovation process from the idea to the product with a special focus on the corresponding elements of the design and development methodology. The methods and tools are practical applied in the accompanied Innovation Project. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students know the basic steps of the innovation process as well as the methods supporting the design and development within. In addition to this the students enable the competence to choose, adapt and apply suitable methods depending on the current situation. | ||||
| Content | Basic Development Methodology - Creativity Techniques - Evaluation and Selection Methods - Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) - Questioning Techniques and Test Strategies Basic Design Methodology - Basic Rules of Embodiment Design - Principles of Embodiment Design - Design for Production - Prototyping and System Optimization | ||||

| 327-2224-00L | MaP Distinguished Lecture Series on Additive Manufacturing This course is primarily designed for MSc and doctoral students. Guests are welcome. | 1 credit | 2S | L. Schefer, M. Meboldt, A. R. Studart | |
| Abstract | This course is an interdisciplinary colloquium on Additive Manufacturing (AM) involving different internationally renowned speakers from academia and industry giving lectures about their cutting-edge research, which highlights the state-of-the-art and frontiers in the AM field. | ||||
| Learning objective | Participants become acquainted with the state-of-the-art and frontiers in Additive Manufacturing, which is a topic of global and future relevance from the field of materials and process engineering. The self-study of relevant literature and active participation in discussions following presentations by internationally renowned speaker stimulate critical thinking and allow participants to deliberately discuss challenges and opportunities with leading academics and industrial experts and to exchange ideas within an interdisciplinary community. | ||||
| Content | This course is a colloquium involving a selected mix of internationally renowned speaker from academia and industry who present their cutting-edge research in the field of Additive Manufacturing. The self-study of relevant pre-read literature provided in advance to each lecture serves as a basis for active participation in the critical discussions following each presentation. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Selected scientific pre-read literature (max. three articles per lecture) relevant for and discussed at the end of each individual lecture is posted in advance on the course web page | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Participants should have a solid background in materials science and/or engineering. | ||||
