Die training unit introduces into the field of automotive mechatronics and the boundary conditions of mechatronics product development, addressing:
• Mechatronics System Layout and Design
• Mechatronics System Simulation
• Sensor, Actuators and ECU Hardware Simulation and Optimization
• Application and Discussion based on a Project Work
Also the unit discusses investigations of control strategies in mechatronics systems. And the unit finally applies the gathered knowledge of the training programme in selected use-cases based on a group-project work that includes all components of a typical automotive application.
This element gives an introduction and overview about the following aspects:
• You have learned about the complete procedure of automotive controller development, including requirements definition, derivation of specifications, HW and SW development, simulation-based controller optimization and system testing.
• You have knowledge about the different procedures in mechatronics systems development and you are able to define the proper processes, tools and methods.
• You know about functional testing and verification of mechatronics systems.
