KurzbeschreibungThe course is structured in three main blocks, each of them addressing a specific grand challenge in engineering design. Each block is composed of an introductory lecture and two to three talks from various speakers from academia and industry.
LernzielThe aim of the course is to introduce students to the engineering design research and practice in a multitude of Mechanical Engineering disciplines and convey knowledge from both academia and industry about state of the art methods, tools and processes.
InhaltThe students are exposed to a variety of topics in the field of Engineering Design. Topics are bundled in three main grand challenges and include an introductory lecture held by one of the responsible Professors and 2-3 talks each, addressing specific issues and examples. The success of the course is largely dependant on active involvement of the students. The students also individually prepare and present a topic related to the grand challenges presented in the lectures.
