Overall learning objectives
The main objective is to learn the practical design and build of mechanical and electrical systems supporting the operation of an electric formula student car and to apply simulation results in practice.
Learning objectives - Knowledge
Understanding the academic and practical challenges in the mechatronic product development process.
Understanding how to run a simulation and apply results in practice.
Understanding the realistic aspect of working in a team to fulfil a common goal.
Learning objectives - Skills
The ability to design and manufacture mechanical components.
The ability to analyse and interpret simulation output.
The ability to employ rapid prototyping technology during the development process.
The ability to describe the kinematics of a mechatronic system.
Learning objectives - Competences
The students can manage their own activities related to the different phases of a typical development project.
The student can incorporate mechanics and software into an overall working system, including control strategies.

Additional information
Enrollment is limited to 20 students.
If more applicants than places, applicants who meet the mandatory requirements are prioritised according to the below selection criteria:
- Undergraduate and graduate students from partner universities (exchange); international undergraduate and graduate guest students (fee-paying); undergraduate and graduate students from other Danish universities.
- Ph.D students from partner universities and other international Ph.D. students; other applicants.
Students are prioritised on a first come, first served basis, i.e. according to the time we receive your complete application.
In case a course is filled up, we try to offer you an alternative course from your list of priorities. All final decisions about admission will be sent out continually.
