- Brief description
Design is the central task in the process of product development. Basic knowledge of mechanical engineering is the modelling and visualisation of components in CAD and the merging into assemblies. In addition, the basics of technical drawing are taught. The design and the sensible use of bearings as a basic machine element is complemented.

- Homework / Assignment
- Exam duration and scope
As part of the assignment, you must create 2–4 drawings and 1–2 CAD assemblies.
- Knowledge Broadening
Students have basic knowledge in the presentation of technical products. Students can model individual parts in a CAD system and are able to assemble them into assemblies.
- Application and Transfer
Students can generate data and documents for production from simple technical components.
