What it is about
You engage with friction, lubrication and wear in drive trains and analyze how tribological technologies contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability. In the end you will be able to quickly survey relevant scientific publications, assess technologies in terms of energy savings and environmental compatibility, and present results scientifically.
What you will be able to do
- Tribology technologies for drive systems
- Discuss effects on ecological sustainability
- Understand the construction of research cycles and publication structures
- Analyze scientific literature and extract core messages
- Assess tribology technologies with regard to energy efficiency, sustainability and TRL
- Present and discuss scientific results
- Work interdisciplinary in a team
- Justify and argue your own decisions
What the module consists of
- Seminarvorlesungenintroduce fundamentals of tribology, drive systems, sustainability and publishing; supported by examples and comprehension questions
- Studentisches Projektworking on a current tribology trend in small groups with tutor support; interim pitches, peer review and final reports/presentation
Teaching method
- Vorträge (PowerPoint)convey fundamentals and examples
- Tutor-Pitches and Betreuungintroduce specific tribology technologies and accompany project work
- Gruppenarbeit (Projekt)train literature analysis, evaluation and scientific communication
- Interaktive Elemente (Comprehension Questions, Mutual Review)ensure understanding and promote critical reading/writing
