Content

Advanced Software Engineering

The aim of the course is to explain students for what purposes, under which conditions and with which consequences computer systems are used for the solution of problems related to Mechanical Engineering.

Within the first part of the course the steps from problem description to the final software solution are illustrated. This covers the topics modelling, problem elicitation and analysis, program design and an introduction to UML (Unified Modelling Language). Then the course goes on with a closer examination of the various aspects which comprise software development, concerning with topics like design patterns, agile software processes and project management. Parallel to the lecture the students are given the chance to employ the theoretical input from the course in small software projects. After an introduction to the basics of Java and object-oriented programming, the students stepwise pass through the particular stages of a software development process. Moreover, a part of the exercise is implemented by using physical robots.

Learning objectives

Industrial product development process - battery systems for hybrid

and electric vehicles

The students learn how to assimilate and process complex system

interrelationships. The development and production of high voltage battery

packs for hybrid and electric vehicles is used as an example of the

product development process.

They learn how to deal with vaguely formulated questions, how to use the

freedoms this opens up and how to find creative ways of solving

problems. During complex assignments they learn how to structure a

complex issue, how to split up the overall problem and then bring it

together again into a joint solution.
