Through lectures and best practice presentations, students connect theory with practice, learn to assess green engineering principles and develop effective sustainability solutions. This training enhances their skills in tackling complex issues and fostering environmental responsibility.

Module 7: Sensor Technology and Application

In this module, students learn to digitise analogue time signals, analyse them in the frequency domain and implement digital adaptive controllers. They apply adaptive algorithms for system identification, noise suppression and disturbance control. Additionally, students explore sensor technology, focusing on measurement systems used in quality control within manufacturing.

Module 8: Advanced Materials and Technologies

In this module, students learn about the latest 3D printing technologies. They explore how to decide which technology works best for different shapes and objects and learn how to choose the right method for each project. They master material characterisation, quality issue resolution and both additive and subtractive manufacturing methods. They also master slicing methods for product models and designing strategies for composite component production.

Module 9: Information Technology and Cyber Security

Students learn the importance of data protection and security, including legal foundations, risks, and standards. They can design and implement IT security systems, improve communication in automation and apply their knowledge to create and manage intelligent models for simulations in virtual and augmented reality.

Module 10: Digital Technologies

This module provides in-depth knowledge of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), simulation and virtual reality, enabling students to tackle tasks at the intersection of engineering, data processing and sustainability. Students learn to design and develop IIoT components, apply simulation and virtual reality methods and create and optimise models for industrial processes, enhancing human-machine communication and technology engagement.

Module 11: Management Accounting

In this module, students learn how to plan, manage and adapt business processes and strategies in response to changes in the environment, with a focus on maintaining financial stability and maximising profits. They also develop expertise in strategic and operational controlling, risk management and making financial decisions under uncertainty, applying these skills through business management simulations.

Module 12: Change Management and Leadership

This module prepares students for leadership in global businesses by addressing strategic and operational challenges in a global environment. Through discussions and practical exercises, students build cultural awareness, explore diverse leadership styles and learn to implement effective, sustainable strategies.

Module 13: Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Students learn to assess quality management systems and non-destructive testing methods, apply these procedures in small groups and evaluate the results. They are trained to make responsible decisions on quality-relevant methods, critically analyse conventional and novel approaches and develop improved solutions.

Module 14: Mobility Concepts and Technologies

In this module, students explore vehicle types and design concepts, with a focus on short-range mobility and drivetrain configurations. They study electric and hydrogen drives, energy storage systems and their performance. This knowledge enables students to transition from conceptual design to creating physical vehicles, including selecting suitable energy storage solutions.

Module 15: Infrastructure in Transport and Mobility

In this module, students explore urban mobility concepts with a focus on cycling and the integration of individual transport methods into multimodal systems. They study existing "bicycle cities" and learn about the infrastructure needed for electric and hydrogen mobility, including charging systems, battery exchange, and grid connections.

Module 16: Design for Mobilty

In this module, students study virtual engineering, focusing on virtual product development (VPE) and product lifecycle management. They learn to manage time, cost and product variants, conceptualise and model complex systems, validate products and apply AI methods in this field. The module also covers lightweight design principles, including materials, structures and cost considerations for modern mobility concepts.

Module 17: Project / Practice Module

In this module, students will apply the knowledge gained throughout their studies to practical projects, preparing them for the labour market. They will form interdisciplinary teams, working as independent members to tackle real-world problems. This will test their problem-solving skills, teamwork, project management skills and ability to apply theory to practice.
