151-3215-00L | Design for Additive Manufacturing For a place in the course please write a short letter of motivation stating why you like to attend the course, your experiences in CAD-Design, Simulation and additive manufacturing. Please mention in the letter, if you already have a suggestion for a part to be designed in the semester project. Send the letter to Dr. Christoph Klahn (cklahn@ethz.ch) until Tuesday 03.09.2019. | 4 credits | 2G | M. Meboldt, C. Klahn | |
Abstract | This course is focusing on design, development and innovation with Additive Manufacturing (AM) production technologies. Part of the course is a project, where students design and produce their own functional AM part in metal, with selective laser melting (SLM). The different designs of the students will be analyzed and an the design will be optimized. | ||||
Learning objective | To provide a fundamental knowledge of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and generate experience and knowledge in the field of the design for AM (DfAM), product development and value creation with AM. | ||||
Content | Parallel to the lectures the students design SLM prototypes in a project. Further, the prototypes going to be manufactured and possible optimizations will be discussed in the group. The cours is addressing the following topics: - AM-Processes including SLM, SLS and FDM - AM-Principles - Materialise Magics-Introduction - AM-Guidelines - Value added chain of AM - AM-Quality management - Microstructures and materials for AM - Industry cases of AM | ||||
Lecture notes | Script and handouts are available in PDF-format. | ||||

Prerequisites / Notice | Master's students. Registering to the course requires fulfilling the semester performance (active participation in the semester project and oral exam). If the semester project or the oral exam is missing the course is not passed (Abbruch). Final grades are based on a mixture of design projects (60%) and oral exam (40%). The language of the projects and the presentation can be English or German, depending on the student's preference. | ||||
166-0203-00L | Agile and User-centered Innovation Only for MAS in Future Transport Systems and CAS in Future Transport Systems: Technology Potential. | 2 credits | 2G | M. Meboldt, J. Heck | |
Abstract | For companies it is essential to realise products quickly, economically and in a customer-oriented way. In this context approaches to agile and user-centred product development such as Scrum and Design Thinking are increasing in importance. Compared to traditional product development methods, agile methods promise higher quality and customer satisfaction coupled with reduced expenditure. | ||||
Learning objective | Design and realisation of product development projects for future transport systems: Participants are familiar with the methods and procedures of agile and user-centred product development and are able to apply them profitably in their enterprises. | ||||
Content | Participants define an innovation theme themselves in groups, and a selection of topics is then drawn from this theme for module group work. The module takes participants through the whole process, from the analysis of target groups and their requirements through project conception and planning to implementation in example form. The course is practical and uses concrete examples. At the end of the module participants will have deployed the methods of agile and user-centred product development to work very practically through a theme they have developed themselves, and will have become familiar with the typical application scenarios, advantages and hurdles associated with these methods. | ||||

Abstract | Cross-disciplinary collaboration between engineers and medical doctors is indispensable for innovation in health care. This course will bring together engineering students from ETH Zurich and medical students from the University of Zurich to experience the rewards and challenges of such interdisciplinary work in a project based learning environment. | ||||
Learning objective | The main goal of this course is to demonstrate the differences in communication between the fields of medicine and engineering. Since such differences become the most evident during actual collaborative work, the course is based on a current project in physiology research that combines medicine and engineering. For the engineering students, the specific aims of the course are to: - Acquire a working understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the investigated system; - Identify the engineering challenges in the project and communicate them to the medical students; - Develop and implement, together with the medical students, solution strategies for the identified challenges; - Present the found solutions to a cross-disciplinary audience. | ||||
Content | After a general introduction to interdisciplinary communication and detailed background on the collaborative project, the engineering students will team up with medical students to find solutions to a biomedical challenge. In the process, they will be supervised both by lecturers from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, receiving coaching customized to the project. The course will end with each team presenting their solution to a cross-disciplinary audience. | ||||
Lecture notes | Handouts and relevant literature will be provided. |
