New Methods of Product Development

The lecture teaches the use of complex methods to support product development in a business environment. The focus of the introduced methods is the cost-effective, variant-appropriate, and quality-appropriate development of technical systems. In addition, complex methods for developing and evaluating solutions are taught. The use of the various methods is conveyed regarding the development process of a product, but the students also learn operational relationships and their influence on the use and implementation of methods.

In the tutorial accompanying the lecture, selected topics are deepened using concrete examples. Teamwork in the processing of exercises and direct dialogue with the lecture supervisor should contribute to sustainable learning success.

In the additionally verifiable laboratory, in-depth methods of system development are practically applied using the example of the structure and function of an e-cargo bike as well as the mapping of requirements, functions, and system structures with the help of diagrams of the modeling techniques SysML.

The students will learn the necessary methods in self-study according to the principles of the inverted classroom and apply them in group work. The number of participants in the laboratory is limited to 25. If there are more applicants than places, the lottery procedure applies. The registration of the laboratory takes place via the StudIP.
