Overall learning objectives
The main objective is to learn the practical design and build electronic circuits and electrical systems with respect to their electromagnetic compatibility supporting the operation of an electric formula student car and to apply simulation results in practice.
Learning objectives - Knowledge
•Understanding of the basic physics of classical FEM and CFD
•Understanding how to run a simulation and apply results in practice.
•Having a comprehension of the fundamentals of EMC
•Understanding of common EMC standards and test
•Understanding of proper PCB layout and unwanted EMI coupling paths
•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 analyze and interpret simulation output.
•The ability to identify potential sources of EMC problems including radiated emission and ESD
•The ability to estimate and/or measure the radiated emission from a simple PCB and perform an ESD test.
Learning objectives - Competences
The students can manage their own activities related to the different phases of a typical development project. They are independently able to define and analyze problems within the area of EMC with focus on radiated emission and ESD.
The student can incorporate electronics and software into an overall working system, including control strategies.
Content
•Fundamental Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
•Computer Aided Design (CAD)
•Finite Element Methods (FEM)
•Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design
•Teamwork including workshop activities and real-life testing of designs.

Teaching Method
The course will consist of half-day lectures on CFD, CAD, FEM, and EMC.
The other half (and full) days are occupied by project work in groups under close supervision.
Time of classes
Two weeks in August
Please note that this course will be offered as a blended course in 2020; i.e. the course is offered both online and on campus. If physical presence is not possible, the course will still run online.

Additional information
Please note that due to the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic this course will be offered as a blended course in 2020; i.e. the course is offered both online and on campus. If physical presence is not possible, the course will still run online.
Please note that registration for this course is binding.
Enrolment is limited to 8 students. If more applicants than places, applicants who meet the mandatory requirements are prioritised according to the below selection criteria:
- Engineering students from Electronics who need this specific summer course or 5 ECTS electives in order to graduate
- Engineering students from Electronics (except the above)
- Engineering students from closely related degrees provided the course is approved as an elective on their study programmes
- Other students from SDU-TEK provided the course is approved as an elective on their study programmes
- Other students from SDU-NAT provided the course is approved as an elective on their study programmes
- Other students from SDU-TEK, SDU-NAT or SDU-SAMF with preapproval of credit transfer
- Other students from SDU with preapproval of credit transfer
Note: If further selection criteria are needed this will be based on a first-come-first-served basis.
