Automotive Production Engineering – Master APE Wintersemester Automotive Production Engineering – Master APE Wintersemester
2017/18 2017/18

1.1 Programme structure
The standard period of study for Master´s programmes amounts to three theoretical
semesters whereby the third semester shall be primarily for the completion of the Mas-
ter’s thesis. The programme shall be offered as a full-time course (Picture 1). Within
the range of subjects, students are conveyed an in-depth and detailed theoretical, tech-
nical and practical understanding of production systems in the automotive sector. This
understanding goes beyond the strategic, planning and operative development pro-
cesses of these systems with regard to product development.

Picture 2: Programme structure
In the first semester (see Picture 2), knowledge, skills and competencies in the field of
Technology Development & Innovation Management, Engineering Processes, Produc-
tion and Logistics Networks, Scientific Research Seminar, Advanced Manufacturing
Technologies and Cost Engineering & Rik Management in Automotive are conveyed.
The second semester includes following compulsory modules: Production System and
Plant Design, Automation and Equipment Technologies, Production Management and
Optimisation and Digital Technologies in Engineering. In Group Project students prac-
tising working on a bigger task as part of a project team are given the opportunity to
try out all project stages.

Picture 1: Programme structure Additionally Individual Elective, can be selected either in the first or second semester.
The Master´s programme concludes with the Master’s thesis in the third and last se-
mester. The thesis is complemented by seminars.
There are practical elements in all modules, stressing the application-oriented profile
of this Master´s programme, e.g. by providing project and thesis topics set by partner
companies (especially for the dual programme).
In preparation for the Master´s programme, there is an optional annual preparatory
course on offer for international students in advance with courses on German language
and culture and on self-reliant academic working methods. Language and culture
courses are offered throughout while the university is in session. German students
have the opportunity to learn another foreign language.

shall understand development processes in product development to be able to plan,
develop, implement, operate and develop such systems further in an entire technical,
strategic and managerial manner.
There is an emphasis on the graduate´s qualification enabling them to in highly linked
processes, recognise, plan and execute tasks, assess the need and scope for action
as well as take part in developing and managing. They are in a position to recognise
the interdependency of technical, strategic, managerial, social and further non-tech-
nical topics and integrate their actions responsibly. In particular, students acquire fol-
lowing knowledge, skills and competencies during their studies:
1. Knowledge
Graduates of the Master´s programme Automotive Production Engineering acquire in-
depth knowledge of production technologies and systems, engineering, project and
process management as well as personnel and leadership.
Following modules convey the technologies essentially relevant to the field of produc-
tion:
- Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
- Automation and Equipment Technologies
Knowledge of entire production systems including logistics, competence and supply
chain strategies and therefore also relevant managerial knowledge are conveyed by
following modules:
- Production and Logistics Networks,
- Procurement, Cost and Innovation Management
These modules convey in-depth knowledge of process management focussing on en-
gineering during the development of production systems in connection with simultane-
ous product development including quality management:
- Engineering Processes in Automotive Industry
- Digital Technologies in Engineering (specialised compulsory elective module)
- Technology Development and Management (specialised elective module)
Following modules convey the knowledge of planning, operating and optimising pro-
duction systems and plants

Objectives:
In order to improve the efficiency of and quality of product development more and more in industry so called
model based processes, methods and tools are currently introduced. Where as in the past decades develop‐
ment was based on computer aided design, where the computer tool and its data model was just a mean to
produce the required deliverables like drawings, diagrams and specifications, in the model based approach,
the computer model itself becomes the deliverable of the engineering.hgjhgb
This evolution from computer aided design to model based design, and from computer aided system engi‐
neering to model based system engineering can be seen as a paradigm shift and requires from future engi‐
neers a basic understanding of the product models they produce and deliver.
Therefore this lecture aims to provide a basic understanding of the product models along the development
process using the ISO standard ISO10303 (STEP = Standard for the exchange of product model data) as refer‐
ence, so that this knowledge can be applied on various tools.
Content:
 Fundamentals of product models: basic approach and objective of model based engineering, terms and
description methods and overview on the development process.
 model based system engineering: The Unified Architecture Framework, the SysML as universal descrip‐
tion language, FMI and Modelica in a nutshell and some examples of ISO10303 application protocol 233
(System Engineering).
 model based design –product shape: basic geometry elements in the product model: points, lines, vol‐
ume models: boundary representation and constructive solid geometry CSG in ISO 10303 application pro‐
tocol 214 (automotive design) and application protocol 242 (Managed model based 3D engineering)
