Admission information

Objectives

After successful participation in the module "Sustainable Mobile Drive Systems", students are 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 systems ... evaluate how a concrete design of a propulsion system can be implemented in a wide range of means of transport ... assess the most important mobile propulsion systems according to their respective advantages, disadvantages and areas of application ... understand the basics of the functioning and design of piston engines ... understand the basics of the function 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 the sustainability of the entire drive system. ... critically question fundamental relationships between energy, mobility and drive system ... make simple but effective rough assessments of the most important characteristics of modern propulsion systems

Description

Main topics: * Sustainability and climate protection * Design of sustainable mobility * Fundamentals of vehicle technology * Fundamentals of vehicle drives * Internal combustion engines with sustainable fuels * Electric drive systems (battery, inverter, e-motor) * Drive systems with fuel cells * Energy for mobility

Prerequisites

basics in mechanics and electrics

Examination

The module examination is a written exam (duration: 90 min). The students have to apply the concepts of sustainable mobile drive systems to various questions and problems in a limited amount of time. This is to check, for example, whether the students can evaluate how a concrete design of a drive system can be implemented in a wide variety of means of transport or whether the students understand the basics of the functioning and design of piston engines, electric drive trains and drive trains with fuel cells. Permitted aids are: Writing utensils, ruler and a non-programmable calculator.
