Study focus

– Healthy working environments

Back pain and a strained neck are just two examples of typical complaints from repetitive movements or postures in the workplace. Ergonomic and health-promoting products and frameworks can often counteract this. Exactly their development is the focus of the "Healthy Working Environments" program. What are the legal requirements for healthy work?. Occupational prevention as a basis? To what extent does the quality of work improve through appropriate measures?? And how can we use the principles of prevention and ergonomics in product development to achieve a healthier way of working?

Prevention

Prevention comes from the Latin – praevenire – and means "to get ahead of". In this module you will gain a basic understanding of the goals of ergonomics. Principles of occupational health and safety in Germany. The focus is on technical. Medical aspects. You will learn to correctly assess factors at the workplace that pose a risk to health and to derive suitable preventive measures.

Ergonomics

We teach you the basic principles of ergonomic design of products and workplaces. Using practical examples, you will learn how to design them optimally.

Development

This module is about the development of health-promoting products and workplaces. You learn

– Plan products strategically – Use resources wisely – Test products systematically – Innovation management – Variant and change management

Today, smart and affordable assistance systems can be found in more and more areas of life, whether on smartphones, in cars or in the home. Because: the technologies are getting cheaper and smaller and are more available.

Assistance systems in sports and health technology

– Smart products in sports and health technology are being used in more and more areas, for example in age-appropriate assistance systems (Ambient Assisted Living – AAL) – technical input aids such as eye-tracking systems for people with disabilities – smart technical products such as wearable electronics to log vital functions in the sports sector, for example in rehabilitation, competitive sports and medical technology

With all smart products the benefit for humans is the center of attention. Here you can be creative. Examples of some creative projects can be found further down the page. Physical computing: In the lab you learn how different sensors work. Actuators in interaction with suitable microcontroller systems (z.B.B. Arduino) both theoretically and practically know. As part of a team, you will develop your own assistance systems and test them for functionality and customer acceptance. – Mobile computing: You will learn to develop your own apps, for example as a user interface, for control, data evaluation or as a communication interface for your product.

As the name "Mobility and Safety The "Mobility and Safety" section clearly shows how we develop products that move people and protect them from injury. Example: Bicycle. Bicycle helmet. What considerations go into the development of a helmet designed specifically for cycling?? How an e-bike can be built even more stable for higher loads? How can a racing bike become even lighter and stiffer?? You learn important background knowledge and trends around mobility products to use this in product development.

Development and simulation

In order to optimally manage product development, you will learn the following:

– systematic processes – analyze specific requirements for a product from the customer's point of view – manage interdisciplinary teams – monitor progress from idea to product

Simulation methods play an important role in product development. You will learn to make and implement the right calculations using concrete examples in order to set your product ideas in motion already on the screen, or to use them in the design process. to be able to evaluate.

Ergonomics and lightweight construction

All of the products we talk about in "Mobility and safety" will be talk, are characterized by the fact that they are used by people. You will learn to develop them against this background, z.B. in the topic of bike fitting, as well as to evaluate and design their functionality with regard to human capabilities. Another aspect is weight. Working in a team with others, you will learn about and apply the theory and practice of lightweight construction with fiber-reinforced plastics.

Rapid prototyping and product testing

Before something is mass-produced, engineers create prototypes to test functions, ergonomics during handling, or even mountability. You will get to know different methods for this purpose. Produce your own prototypes as part of a team. In addition, you will learn in a very practical way how to test components in accordance with standards in order to, for example.B. to be able to guarantee the safety of a product over a longer period of time.

The soccer player has a shoe with special damping properties, the canoeist has adapted paddles and the skier has an individual ski. You will learn how people and technology interact and what needs to be taken into account in this respect in product development in the elective area "Training devices". Important aspects are:

– Product life cycle – state of the art – scientific background – innovation potentials

Develop and test training equipment

With the help of simulation software, you will learn to develop and design training devices. You pay attention to the design and dimensioning and check everything using special measurement and test methods. So you can scientifically analyze, validate and verify training equipment. You study the interaction between people and equipment: how the equipment has to move, how it is stressed, what the vibration load is like? You will work on small projects at the intersection of sports science and technology. You will learn to think and act in an interdisciplinary way.
