TU9-MOOC

Course Description

Studentsobtain an understanding of the process of developing technical systems for all kinds of products. They will get to know how to apply generally universal procedure models that help plan, implement and review tasks of the development process. Moreover they are intodruced to basic methods for defining tasks, finding general solutions and determining the product’s form. In addition, they learn about simple evaluation methods for the selection of solution variants as well as about cost-efficient design and can apply them when needed.

Topic

The students acquire an understanding of technical and legal aspects of engine design. Based on mission analysis and further fringe conditions, the students learn to design the essential components and to solve questions on engine integration. Furthermore, they will be able to evaluate the potentials of novel engine concepts.

Course Description

“Making City - Fundamentals of Urban Design” conveys the basics of contemporary urban development: knowledge on the creation, evolution and conception of cities and urban districts in a national and an international context. Urban development is an important factor in directing urbanization tendencies towards a more sustainable future. Hence, the course will begin with an introductory overview of the most pressing global challenges and the phenomenon of worldwide urbanization: climate change, population growth and migration movements, rapidly expanding cities in developing countries and the handling of resources are at the center of a global perspective on urban transformation processes.

Using Berlin as an example, the course give ostensive insight into the complex interconnections within a city(region) through urban planning, urban construction and urban development in theory and in practice. Moreover, concepts of the city-discourse such as culture and landscape, public sphere and private life, centrum and periphery, past and future will be discussed. Students will learn about foundational structures and types within an urban context and will get to know instruments to control the urban development process. Intense attention will be given to the parameters that contribute to the dynamic shape of our cities and to the regulatory frameworks that allow for effective and sustainable intervention.

Finally, the thematic building blocks will be brought together in concrete projects, thus enabling a deeper understanding of what was learned so far. Current trends in contemporary urban development will be presented through examples and brought to discussion. These will then be transferred to techniques and approaches of urban development practices.
