Language Module ownerGerman Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Andreas Schürr
1 ContentThe lecture gives an introduction to the broad discipline of software engineering. All major topics of thefield - as entitled e.g. by the IEEE’s “Guide to the Software Engi-neering Body of Knowledge” - get addressedin the indicated depth. Main emphasis is laid upon requirements elicitation techniques (software analysis)and the design of soft-ware architectures (software design). UML (2.0) is introduced and used throughoutthe course as the favored modeling language. This requires the attendees to have a sound knowledge of atleast one object-oriented programming language (preferably Java).During the exercises, a running example (embedded software in a technical gadget or device) is utilizedand a team-based elaboration of the tasks is encouraged. Exercises cover tasks like the elicitation of re-quirements, definition of a design and eventually the implementation of executable (proof-of-concept)code.
2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesThis lecture aims to introduce basic software engineering techniques - with recourse to a set of best-practiceapproaches from the engineering of software systems - in a practice-oriented style and with the help of onerunning example.After attending the lecture students should be able to uncover, collect and document essential requirementswith respect to a software system in a systematic manner using a model-driven/centric approach. Further-more, at the end of the course a variety of means to acquiring insight into a software system’s design(architecture) should be at the student’s disposal.

1 ContentThe lecture covers advanced topics in the software engineering field that deal with maintenance and qual-ity assurance of software. Therefore, those areas of the software engineering body of knowledge whichare not addressed by the preceding introductory lecture, are in focus. The main topics of interest are:software maintenance and reengineering, configuration management, static programme analysis and met-rics, dynamic programme analysis and runtime testing as well as programme transformations (refactoring).During the exercises, a suitable Java open source project has been chosen as running example. The partic-ipants analyze, test and restructure the software in teams, each dealing with different subsystems.
2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesThe lecture uses a single running example to teach basic software maintenance and quality assuring tech-niques in a practice-oriented style. After attendance of the lecture a student should be familiar with allactivities needed to maintain and evolve a software system of considerable size. Main emphasis is laidon software configuration management and testing activities. Selection and usage of CASE tool as well asworking in teams in conformance with predefined quality criteria play a major role.

1 ContentHow to solve field problems numerically on the computer? The Boundary Element Method (BEM) hasdeveloped into an important alternative to domain-oriented approaches (like Finite Elements), ever sincefast implementations are available. The BEM reduces the dimensionality of the problem and can easily takeinto account unbounded domains.Starting from the representation formulas of Kirchhoff and Stratton-Chu boundary integral equations arederived. Next, their discretization by collocation and Galerkin methods is discussed.The resulting fully populated matrices have to be compressed for practical applications, by Fast Multipoleor Adaptive Cross Approximation methods.Industrial examples for application of the BEM are considered, for instance acoustic and electromagneticscattering problems, and thermal analysis.Programming homework will be assigned, to deepen the stu-dents’ understanding of the contents.
2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesStudents will acquire a detailed understanding of Modeling and Simulation with BEM.

1 ContentThis course introduces the students to the different design aspects of electric drives used in automotiveapplications, comprising both high power density high speed traction and small mass produced auxiliarydrives. Since the target audience comprises students from different degree programmes, the course firstreviews basics of electromagnetic power conversion principles and design principles of PM based machines.The discussion of the electric drives themselves comprises the various facets of their design as part of acomplex system, such as operating requirements, configurations, material choices, parasitic effects andtheir mitigation, electric and thermal stress, as well as manufacturing related questions, notably as theyaffect the design of the mass produced auxiliary drives.
2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesAt the end of the course, the students will know about design principles of PM based machines, electricdrives: topologies, operating areas, dynamic performance and configuration of traction drives for hybridcars and electric vehicles as they apply to electric drives for cars. In addition to traction drives, they willalso be familiar with auxiliary drives used in cars. They will understand the parasitic effects of inverterinduced bearing currents, the insulation material used for the electric winding and the winding stress atinverter supply. They will be familiar with the different cooling principles and thermal modelling, as well asthe thermal aspects of the integration into the car. They will also know about the main failure modes thatmay occur with electric drives used for cars, the different lamination sheets used and their manufacturing.
