Processes and Principles for Lightweight Design

 

Content

"Processes and Principles for Lightweight Design" is a joint course of MSE and SLA, short for Department for Structural Mechanics and Lightweight Structures. It aims at teaching students of the "Master of Automotive Engineering" program the systematic engineering fundamentals to methodologically solve structural problems. The MSE content  focuses on the design methodology and the systematic development of solution principles as well as the qualitative embodiment design. Qualitative layout is taught in the second part of PPLD by SLA.
