1 Introduction
The program takes three semesters. The first two semesters are dedicated to lectures, seminars and
projects. The third semester is reserved for the Master's thesis. The curriculum of the Master's pro-
gram has been tailored towards the intermediation of expertise that is required to work on problems
in development of electronic systems in automobiles. It mediates the special of the engineer-scientific
approach. It explains the means of language and symbols to be used in automobile projects. However,
scientific oriented work in a master program means that students learn independently and solely re-
sponsible.
Multi-disciplinary modules structure the program. The subjects of the modules emanate from mechan-
ical engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics and engineering methodology.
Figure 1: Program structure

Compulsory modules aim at transfer of knowledge an automotive engineer must have. The compulsory
module Project enables students to incorporate into a new to complex task and - based on a division
of labor - to work on this task interdisciplinary in a team using suitable scientific methods.
Out of two core areas, one has to be selected:
• vehicle electronics
The modules will equip students with fundamentals of the systematically development of co-
operating electronic systems, and will prepare them for real world applications
• vehicle safety
The modules will prepare students for the design, construction and test of systems that mini-
mize the occurrence and consequences of vehicle collisions
3
Elective modules allows for an individual specialization.

The master's thesis is a practice-oriented research project on an elective topic subject to approval by
the student's supervisor. The thesis is written under the guidance of one professor from University of
Applied Sciences Ingolstadt (first supervisor).

mechanical design, the construction and the assembly of all the parts. The bench will be a flexible con-
struction for research purpose. All the parts should be easily dismountable/to clean and weighting less
than 15 kg. The electrical resistance should be below of five milliohm. The device should close and open
the circuit remote controlled. Safety of the research personal has be taken in account.
• Analysis of parameters of safety critical turning scenarios at intersections (Huber, Werner)
The project shall identify relevant parameters describing turning-off- like typical car trajectories, pedes-
trian and bicyclist movements scenarios at different types of intersections. Based on the results, the sen-
sor parameters for detecting the mentioned objects above have to be derived.
