3. Content
This course teaches students how to apply information technology in the industrial environment by teaching about product development processes and process management, systems engineering and e-business. Students are also introduced to systems for product data management (with variant management, complexity management and change management) and computer-aided design with CAD systems. Students apply the knowledge acquired during lectures in an interdisciplinary, practical team project, where they develop an electromechanical product and become familiar with the challenges of project planning, execution, and management in industrial applications.
4. Learning objectives
Students learn to assess the information technology solutions required to develop products and systems in an industrial environment and are able to use them in effectively as well as apply them to engineering problems.
5. Target group
- Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering
- Computational Engineering Sciences
- Computer Science, Industrial Engineering and Management
- Other related degree programs
- The module is also open to all other students.
