Specializations
When you begin your studies, you will choose one of the following two specializations.
| Specialization | Content |
|---|---|
Digital Vehicle Development | On the one hand, the focus of the specialization is on in-depth knowledge of thermal systems and design. On the other hand, fundamental knowledge in the field of intelligent physical systems is taught, so that you gain a systemic and comprehensive knowledge of future vehicles. The curriculum comprises:
|
Intelligent and Autonomous Driving | The focus of the specialization is on intelligent and networked vehicle systems and addresses in particular highly innovative topics such as artificial intelligence, vehicle networking, security and autonomous driving. Knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering is not required for this specialization. By choosing this specialization, you will be able to gain in-depth and cross-system knowledge of future intelligent and connected vehicle systems. The curriculum comprises:
