In addition to the MD A lecture, the students are familiarized with the design process in a series of three workshops. The focus here is on application-oriented learning and understanding. For example, the students independently disassemble and assemble small demonstrator systems and thus gain a better understanding of the relevant problems in the field of mechanical design.
