The students gain insight into current issues of applied multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of commercial aircraft and learn the practical implementation of the theoretical knowledge gained in the lecture "Multidisciplinary Design Optimization". They are familiar with recent results of research into MDO and practical applications and have an overview of relevant recent publications. The students know the current state of the art in the field of MDO and understand how modern and advanced MDO techniques support the engineering design process of complex products. They are familiar with open issues and challenges that are the subject of ongoing research. They deepen selected applied topics in MDO in discussions and by preparing and giving presentations. In practical hands-on exercises, students learn to use an open-access, collaborative MDO environment to set up and solve MDO problems and to implement and compare various optimization strategies. The focus on practical aspects gives students an insight into the capabilities and limitations of MDO and introduces them to the most important problems and difficulties that occur in real-world optimization problems.
