Admission information
Objectives
After successful participation in the module "Sustainable Mobile Powertrains", students will be able to...
... understand how and why climate change requires a transformation towards sustainable mobility
... classify how this transformation will affect traditional means of transport and their drive trains
... evaluate how a specific design of a propulsion system can be implemented in a wide range of means of transportation
... assess the most important mobile propulsion systems according to their respective advantages, disadvantages, and areas of application
... understand the basics of the operation and design of piston engines
... understand the basics of the operation and structure of electric drive trains
... understand the basics of the function and design of drive trains with fuel cells
... classify which drive system is best suited for a given application
... evaluate the influence of the role of the energy carrier on sustainability of the overall drive system
... critically discuss fundamental relationships between energy, mobility and propulsion system
... make simple but effective rough assessments of the most important characteristics of modern propulsion systems
Description
* Sustainability and climate protection

Prerequisites
none
Teaching and learning methods
In the lecture, the basics of sustainable mobile drive systems are presented by means of powerpoint slides. The theory is explained through application cases and consolidated with the help of simple calculation examples. Experiences and problems from practice are presented, discussed and calculated.
In this way, students will learn, for example, to evaluate how a specific design of a drive system can be implemented in a wide variety of means of transportation, as well as to understand the basics of the operation and design of piston engines, electric drive trains and drive trains with fuel cells.
All teaching materials as well as further information will be distributed free of charge in the lecture or will be made available online. Consultation hours are offered on a flexible basis.
Examination
The module examination takes the form of a written exam (examination duration: 90 min). The students are to apply the concepts of sustainable mobile drive systems to various questions and problems in a limited time. This is to check, for example, whether the students can evaluate how a specific design of a drive system can be implemented in a wide variety of means of transportation or whether the students understand the basics of the operation and design of piston engines, electric drive trains and drive trains with fuel cells. Approved aids are: Ruler, non-programmable calculator
