| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students are familiar with the standardized development process of mechanical engineering products and are able to discuss and solve new mechanical engineering tasks in self-organized teams. They know and understand the sequence and significance of a model-driven design process and the required functional verifications, particularly with regard to safety-relevant areas and the mechanical integrity of a component which often goes hand in hand with this.
