- Brief description
For the resource-oriented design of machines and their powertrains, it is essential to consider the use of gears and clutches. Not only the production but also the operation of the machine is taken into account. In addition, a force-appropriate design allows the minimisation of the use of materials and the associated resources.

It is recommended that you complete the assignment before taking the exam.
- Exam duration and scope
Graded assessment:
Exam: See the current study regulations
Ungraded assessment:
As part of the term paper, students must complete 1–2 designs of assemblies, including the associated calculations.
- Knowledge Broadening
Students have basic knowledge of the load capacity calculation of transmissions and clutches, and can illustrate their importance for the drive train.
- Knowledge deepening
They can design powertrains, calculate the load capacity of transmissions and design clutches in accordance with the recognized rules of technology.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students can assess the resource deployment in the relevant product life phases and decide how to design the powertrain sustainably.
- Application and Transfer
The students analyze the requirements, apply market-standard software tools to calculate the components, design components and assemblies and thus design sustainable powertrains for machines.
- Communication and Cooperation
The students develop solutions for scientific tasks in groups and present the results with the help of meaningful documents.
- Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism
The students recognize the social challenges and develop goals and solutions for the given area of responsibility.
