Course contents:
Depending on the level, students can intensify their knowledge in
grammar and vocabulary. The first two levels (English for Advanced 1 and
2) deal with the repetition of the grammar. The examples reflect typical
situations in which both technical and general language are used; other
examples are e.g. application letters, the description of products and
services, business phone calls, communication processes in formal and
informal meetings, presentations, etc.
In Business English, the main focus is on spoken language and work in
small groups. At the beginning of the semester, each group founds its own
company, which is dynamically developed during the course of the
semester.
In Technical English, the main focus is on acquiring and using a basic
technical vocabulary and typical expressions of technical communication.

In the first part of this course, methods for modeling and analysing
electromechanical systems are discussed. These include a description of
the systems using maps, coupled differential equations, specific solutions
of differential equations or the network method. Based on subsystems
with a relevance for practical use, different detailed models will be
developed, described in a simulation environment and compared to each
other.
Furthermore techniques regarding model update, parameter variation and
optimisation will be discussed.
In the second part of the course, the students will develop complex
electromechanical simulation systems using the simulation environment
Matlab/Simulink. The electromechanical systems will be studied and
optimised by means of simulations.

Course contents:
After the students have analysed the main problem, they independently
design and determine the specifications and requirements of the product.
The documents are presented in form of a role play in which the
participants act as another character, e.g. manager or customer, to
discuss and improve the relevant documents.
This mid-term presentations emulate industrial project team meetings with
a fixed agenda, protocol, leadership, voting procedures, kick-off etc.
They are followed by the evaluation phase which includes a value analysis
and cost and risk assessment.
After the final kick-off meeting of the team session phase, the design and
manufacturing process starts. This phase is critically accompanied by
more reviews and laboratory presentations.
At the end of the semester, the finished product is being publically
presented.
Prerequisites:
