The Academic Calendar
The academic year is divided into two semesters: the Winter Semester (WS ) from October to March and the Summer Semester (SS) from April to September. Each semester covers a period of approximately 15 weeks during which classes take place called the
Vorlesungszeit and a period when there are usually no classes called the vorlesungsfreie Zeit .
In the WS, the Vorlesungszeit is from the of middle of October to the middle of February and in the SS from the middle of April to the middle of July.
Please note that examinations and block courses very often take place during the vorlesungsfreie Zeit . During the month of August no exams are taken at all.

The German Intensive Course
This German intensive course is designed specifically for the needs of visiting students within partnership programmes and is taught by the staff of the Intercultural Centre of the
Universität Stuttgart. The course starts at the beginning of September (Winter Semester) or March (Summer Semester) and runs for about five weeks. Participants, however, are expected to have some proficiency in German corresponding to 200 hours or two semesters of coursework in German at a university.

The objectives of this intensive course are:
 to achieve proficiency in German at an advanced level corresponding to about 800 hours of German,
 to improve listening comprehension and active use of German as a scientific language, particularly in respect to the specific subject of the participant,

to acquire the learning techniques and communicative competence needed to study successfully at a German university.
Application deadline:
15 July for the Winter Semester and 15 January for Summer Semester. Application forms are available from Ms. Gertrud Burger at the Office for International Affairs, e-mail: incoming.visiting@ia.uni-stuttgart.de.
The Orientation Seminar
The Orientation Seminar immediately follows the German Intensive Course and it takes place the week previous to the beginning of the lecture period.
The three-day seminar offers intercultural and regional information as well as a general introduction to studying at the Universität Stuttgart and also includes specialised academic counselling. The seminar concludes with a one-day excursion. All participants have to make a contribution towards the cost. At present this is DM 20.
Registration deadline: 15 September for the Winter Semester and 15 March for the
Summer Semester. Registration forms are available from Ms. Gertrud Burger, e-mail: incoming.visiting@ia.uni-stuttgart.de.
Information Package 9

Office of International Affairs General Information
The Structure of Studies
A degree course is divided into the Stage 1 Studies („Grundstudium“) and the Stage 2
Studies („Hauptstudium“)
. Visiting students within partnership programs may take courses in either stage.
The Stage 1 Studies last at least 4 semesters and give a general introduction into the chosen field of study. The Stage 1 Studies are completed with a pre-diploma examination
(„Vordiplom“) in the engineering sciences or with an intermediate examination („Zwischenprüfung“) in the social sciences and humanities respectively before the Stage 2 Studies. In contrast to the Anglo-American system the successfully completed Stage 1 Studies do not constitute an academic degree or professional qualification.
During the Stage 2 Studies students continue their studies and extend their knowledge in a more specialised way. At the end of the Stage 2 Studies students have to write a project work (Diplomarbeit) in the engineering sciences or a final thesis (Magisterarbeit) in the humanities. After having successfully passed the final examination students obtain their degree (a Diplom degree in the engineering sciences, a Magister Artium degree in the humanities) which enables them to start their professional career.
Which courses must I take?
In comparison to the Anglo-American university system, students at German universities generally have more freedom in the selection of the courses they choose to take and when they take them. However, this does vary from subject to subject. Many of the courses in the natural sciences and engineering are obligatory whereas students studying in the humanities and social sciences generally choose the courses they want to take on a more individual basis.
One further difference is the time for selecting courses. This does not normally take place at the end of the previous semester but during the first two weeks of the semester itself.
This, and the freedom of choice is often confusing for international students. For this reason, the individual faculties offer comprehensive information seminars at the beginning of each semester to help students in their choice. Additional information is given during the
Orientation Seminar (see page 9) and can be found in the Welcome Guide . Should you still have difficulties do not hesitate to contact the Office of International Affairs.
What kind of courses are offered?
The Universität Stuttgart distinguishes between the following types of courses:

Lecture held by an instructor in front of a large group of students
 Exercises the subject matter is reviewed again and deepened in smaller groups; often exercises accompany lectures
Information Package 10

Office of International Affairs General Information

Seminars student active participation is very important; students present papers on a given topic followed by discussion
 Practical courses common in the natural sciences and engineering and usually involving experiments in a laboratory
As a rule, a class involves two credit hours. One credit hour, Semesterwochenstunde
(SWS), corresponds to 45 minutes in the classroom over the whole semester. Generally all courses are taught in German.
Transferring Credits
There are two possibilities for visiting students to receive credit for work done in Stuttgart:
 Visiting students can participate in regular courses and take the final written or oral exam in each course in order to be awarded a proof of academic achievement or
Schein . In addition to receiving a Schein for successfully completing a written exam or
Klausur, it can be awarded for a project paper or Hausarbeit (an essay on a specific topic of between 10 and 20 pages in length) or for an assignment and oral presentation or Referat (a paper presented on a given topic usually as part of a seminar).
Grades range from 1 (very good) to 4 (sufficient). If a student receives a grade below
4, then the course has been failed and needs to be repeated. In some courses grades are not given.
 Students under the SOCRATES exchange-scheme will receive their credits according to the ECTS -agreement (European Credit Transfer System), which is to be discussed between the student and the home and host supervisors.
 Some advanced visiting students may wish to work on an independent project supervised by a professor. Such independent study corresponds closely to a Studienarbeit, which is required in engineering and many of the natural sciences. Students wishing to do this type of independent study need to find a professor at the Universität Stuttgart who is willing to supervise such a project work. The question of credit transfer to the home universities should also be clarified in advance. The subject advisors or
Fachstudienberater/in can assist in finding a supervisor. Their addresses can be found in WWW under http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/studium/beratung/fachberatung. html or from The Office of International Affairs (address see page 6).
Please clarify the question of credit transfer with your home universities prior to coming to Stuttgart and make sure that you maintain contact with your home supervisor during your stay here. This is possible via e-mail.

Libraries
There are two university libraries, one on the City Centre Campus and one on the
Vaihingen Campus. Students need a library ticket in order to be able to borrow books from the library. This can be obtained at one of the university libraries. Please note that many of the faculties and institutes have their own libraries, too.
Computer Centre and E-mail
The computer centr e of the Universität Stuttgart (RUS) provides a number of terminals for student use. Demand is extremely high so students must be prepared to wait. Should you wish to open an e-mail account, you can do so at the Computer Advising Centre RUS-
Benutzerberatung on presentation of your registration number (handed to you at registration).
Sports Activities
The Institute of Sports Science offers a whole range of sporting activities each semester.
They are generally free and are frequently organised by students. These can be such regular events as volleyball, hockey and climbing or special excursions such as skiing in winter or sailing in summer. A comprehensive programme is provided at the beginning of each semester and a copy can be obtained at The Office of International Affairs.
Meals
Students must provide for their own meals. This can be done inexpensively by eating in the Student Union cafeteria or Mensa . In addition to the Mensa on the City Centre Campus and in Vaihingen, there are a number of student cafeterias. The Mensa is open for lunch five days a week. There is always a choice of meal which costs between DM 3 and
DM 5. The cafeterias are normally open weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and offer drinks and small snacks.

DM 400
DM 100
The Office of International Affairs can provide a room in one of the dormitories for all of the visiting students who are admitted to the Universität Stuttgart. SOCRATES students apply for a room by sending the form Application for Student Housing to their relevant
SOCRATES Student Advisor not later than 3 months prior to coming to Stuttgart. All other visiting students send this form to Ms. Gertrud Burger at the Office of International Affairs.
Most of the dormitories are located on the Campus in Stuttgart-Vaihingen and on the campus of the Pädagogische Hochschule (teachers training college) in Ludwigsburg and they are mixed. All dormitories can be easily reached within 20 min. from the city campus by S-Bahn (commuter train). The rooms are equipped with table, chair, bed, wardrobe/ closet, bookshelf and a washbasin. There is a common kitchen for all the members of an apartment. You must bring your own dishes with you or buy them in Germany. There are also toilets and showers on each floor.
Please note: Bed-linen and coverlets are not provided!
However, it is best to buy them once you are here.
The rent for a room in a dormitory is DM 300 to 450 per month. It has to be paid by standing order (all further information about this you will receive at the Office of International
Affairs after your arrival). Rooms can only be rented for a whole month. All students living in the dormitories have to pay a deposit of DM 500. This has to be paid into a bank on the forms provided before you will be allowed to move in. You will receive the necessary forms as part of your Housing Information Package which will be sent to the address you have given in your application form some four weeks prior to the time when you move in.
Remember that you can only move into your room on Mondays to Fridays (unless it is a holiday). Should you wish to come to Stuttgart before your contract for your room begins or at the weekend, you can stay overnight at one of the Guest Houses for Young People or at the Youth Hostel (see next paragraph for further information).
Temporary Accommodation for Young People
Should you come to Stuttgart at a time when you can not move into your dormitory room immediately, you can stay one or two nights at the youth hostel or at one of the guest houses for young people run by the Jugendsozialwerk.
The address of the Youth Hostel in Stuttgart is:
Jugendherberge Stuttgart
Haussmannstr. 27
Phone: ++49 711-24 15 83
Charge for members is about DM 25 and about DM 30 for others. The price is for a bed in a shared room with a number of others and includes breakfast. It is not possible to make

Office of International Affairs General Information telephone reservations. The Youth Hostel is very nice and very conveniently located (approx. 10 min. on foot from the Central Bus and Railway Stations).
You can reach the Youth Hostel by taking the streetcar from within the Central Railway
Station or Hauptbahnhof at the stop called Arnulf-Klett-Platz (follow the sign with a white
U on a blue background). Buy a ticket at one of the orange ticket machines: 1 zone . Take the streetcar U15 travelling in the direction of Heumaden-Sillenbuch . Get off at the stop marked Eugensplatz . Walk down Kernerstrasse (downhill) and follow the youth hostel sign.
The address of the Guest House run by the Jugendsozialwerk is:
Jugendsozialwerk
Richard-Wagner-Str. 2, phone: ++49 711-24 11 32 fax: ++49 711-23 61 10
The price of a single or double room lies between DM 30,-- and DM 45,-- with breakfast.
Rooms can be reserved in advance. However, the Guest House is situated somewhat outside of the city centre.
You can reach the Guest House by taking the streetcar from within the Hauptbahnhof at the stop called Arnulf-Klett-Platz (follow the sign with a white U on a blue background).
Buy a ticket at one of the orange ticket machines: 1 zone. Take the streetcar U15 travelling in the direction of Heumaden-Sillenbuch . Get off at the stop marked Bubenbad . On your right you will find the Richard-Wagner-
Straße and the first house on the right hand side is the Guest House of the Jugendsozialwerk.
Health Insurance
At registration, all students must demonstrate proof of health insurance as prescribed by
German law. Those students who fulfil one of the following conditions can obtain the necessary proof at one of the local health insurance companies (the Office of International
Affairs will provide you with the addresses upon your arrival).
EU-Citizens:
EU-Citizens are required to present Form E109 or Form E111 which they can obtain from their home health insurance company. Upon presentation of this form at one of the local health insurance companies the holder will be presented a Certificate of Sickness Insurance called a Krankenschein.
This certificate must be presented to the doctor, dentist or at a hospital. If you fail to do so you will be expected to pay in cash. At the same time, you will be given a Krankenversicherungsnachweis which you will need for registration at the university. Further information can be found in the Welcome-Guide which either your
SOCRATES Student Advisor will give you on arrival in Stuttgart or which you will receive from Ms. Burger at the Office of International Affairs.
Visiting Students from the USA, Canada, Australia and other non-EU-Citizens:
The local health insurance companies in Stuttgart can exempt you from the compulsory insurance providing you can demonstrate that you have equivalent coverage from a health
Information Package 15

Office of International Affairs General Information insurance in your own country. However, to avoid financial difficulties because you will be expected to pay cash straight away and then claim from your own insurance company yourself, we urgently recommend that you obtain a low-priced health insurance for students in Stuttgart. It costs about DM 95 per month and covers medical treatment by a doctor (inclusively dentist) as well as hospital treatment. This insurance also has the advantage that you do not have to pay for treatment in advance because the insurance company settles directly with the doctor. Further information can be found in the Welcome-Guide which you will receive from Ms. Burger at the Office of International Affairs or from your SOCRATES Student Advisor.
The health insurance for students takes effect at the beginning of the Winter Semester (1
October) or the Summer Semester (1 April). Therefore we recommend that students participating in the German Intensive Course purchase a travel sickness insurance in their home country for the month of September or March respectively.
Medical Care
German universities do not provide medical service on campus. Like all other persons with health insurance, students have a free choice among those doctors who have been registered by the health insurance company. As mentioned under the paragraph Health Insurance, health insurance companies that offer sickness insurance for students settle directly with the doctor, dentist or hospital.
If a student has a psychological problem, it is possible to receive assistance from the Psychological Consulting Service of the Student Union Psychologische Beratungsdienst des Studentenwerks free of charge. The address can be found in the Welcome-Guide or can be obtained from the Office of International Affairs.
Public Transport
Public transport in the Stuttgart region is very good so it is not essential to have a car.
There is an extensive underground system called the S-Bahn, a streetcar system, the U-
Bahn, and buses. The airport is about thirty minutes away from the Hauptbahnhof by S-
Bahn. It takes about ten minutes on foot to reach the City Centre Campus from the
Hauptbahnhof or the stop called Stadtmitte . The S-Bahn stops in the middle of the
Vaihingen Campus. This stop is called Universität . It is ten minutes away from the
Hauptbahnhof on the S1 heading for Herrenberg or the S2 and S3 heading for Vaihingen or Flughafen. Students who live on the campus in Ludwigsburg take the S4 heading for
Marbach and get off at the station Favoritepark. The S-Bahn ride takes 20 minutes and requires a ticket with three zones. The dormitories in Ludwigsburg are five minutes away from the S-Bahn station Favoritepark. Students who have lectures on both the City Centre
Campus and the one in Vaihingen should purchase a Semester Ticket, Semesterfahrkarte, which is valid for the whole semester and costs about DM 290 (two zones). Further information is available at The Office of International Affairs.
Information Package 16

Office of International Affairs General Information
Banking
Cash is still frequently used in Germany. Credit cards (Mastercard, Visa etc.) are not accepted everywhere. You should always check before you order your meal etc., and make sure that you have sufficient cash with you.
All visiting students need a bank account because rent for a dormitory room can only be paid for by standing order. The SOCRATES Student Advisor or The Office of International
Affairs can assist you in choosing a suitable bank. Tips can also be found in the Welcome
Guide.
Telephoning
The code for phoning Stuttgart from abroad is as follows: ++49-711-phone number
( ++ = the dialling code for a foreign country; 49 = the area code for Germany; 711 = the local dialling code, e.g. Stuttgart)
If you are phoning within Germany add a 0 to the local dialling code e.g. Stuttgart would be: 0711 + phone number
If you are dialling a number in Stuttgart from within Stuttgart you do not need the local area code. To phone from a public telephone box you will need DM 0,20 (2 x 10 Pfennige).
Telephone Cards are available priced DM 12 or DM 50. There is a telephone on each floor in the dormitory. You can also have your own telephone in your dormitory room. We re- commend that you buy a telephone yourself at a cost of about DM 50 depending upon the model chosen. The TELEKOM charges around DM 30 per month for the connection. This is in addition to the charges for the individual calls.
The City of Stuttgart
Stuttgart, which is the state capital of Baden-
Württemberg, has a population of about
560.000. Stuttgart lies in a basin. The lowest point is the River Neckar, which is about 200 metres above sea-level, and the highest is at Stuttgart-Vaihingen at approx. 550 metres.
Stuttgart is the cultural centre of the State of BadenWürttemberg with a wealth of theatres and concert halls. It is also the home of the world-famous ballet and there are museums and art-galleries as well as academies of music and art. "Miss Saigon" is being performed in one of the music halls and “Beauty and the Beast” in the other. Every year thousands come from far and near to enjoy the Cannstatter Volksfest , a public festival with a huge amusement park which takes place at the end of September on the common called the
Cannstatter Wasen . In the course of time this festival has become second only to the
Oktoberfest in Munich.
Stuttgart is also one of the largest agriculture, fruit and viticulture centres in the Federal
Republic. Many of the most renown companies like Mercedes-Benz and Bosch have factories here. In addition, there are numerous smaller companies involved in the production of machine tools, textiles and clothes, precision instruments, food and luxury items. There are also companies that specialise in woodworking, leather processing and making shoes or musical instruments as well as a number of large breweries. There is also a small paper
Information Package 17

Office of International Affairs General Information and chemical industry. Over 300 publishing houses and a highly developed graphic industry has given Stuttgart the reputation of being Germany's "Book Town" No 1.
Climate
The climate in Stuttgart is moderate and the average annual temperature is 10 °C. The relatively warm summers and mild winters are characteristic of the Stuttgart climate. However, it is quite possible that the temperature in winter will go far below freezing-point which makes it necessary to have winter clothes as well as rainproof clothing.
How to get to Stuttgart-Vaihingen

Energy Tech./ Design & Manuf. Eng. Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is the major pillar of our industrial employment and production system besides the branches of Civil Engineering, Chemistry and Electrical Engineering.
With the introduction of modern techniques, Mechanical Engineering has been passing major changes. Where in former times the construction and production of machines for industrial purposes was the major task of mechanical engineers, the engineers today have a much broader field of tasks in the areas of construction, manufacturing energy technology, vehicle and engine design, precision technology up to products of machines of every days life. Totally different products like high speed trains and cardiac pacemaker, laser tools and modern household machines, modern motor vehicles and high tech bicycles, whole power plants and small domestic heating facilities are products of Mechanical Engineering creativity. But also consequences of techniques’ application have to be considered and investigated. These areas extend the tasks of mechanical engineers. Safety, environmental, ergonomic and economic aspects are to be mentioned in this connection.
At the Universität Stuttgart excellent modern experimental and computer simulation facilities are available by the scientific combination of research and education. Many linkages to industries as well as national and international research linkages and projects offer the possibilities to study at the first line. The teaching and research fields are mentioned in the following descriptions of the institutes. During their project works and diploma thesis students are involved in institutes life and activities. Students who attained the diploma degree with very good success, do have the possibility to increase their knowledge in special fields by a supplementary doctoral thesis (research based).

Energy Tech./ Design & Manuf. Eng. Mechanical Engineering
The Stage 2 Studies (‘Hauptstudium’) of Mechanical Engineering require to have passed the prediploma examination in Mechanical Engineering (‘Maschinenbau-Vordiplom’) at a
German university or an equal college of higher education. In case that this pre-diploma examination does not comprise subjects which are part of the examination at the Universität Stuttgart, recognition is possible with additional requirements. University of Applied
Science degrees (‘Fachhochschulabschlüsse’) and international bachelor certificates in
Mechanical Engineering can also be recognised but with the compulsory completion of 3 subjects of the advanced Stage 1 Studies (‘Grundstudium’) in order to be synchronised with the curriculu m of the Universität Stuttgart.
The Stage 2 Studies of Mechanical Engineering comprise 8 obligatory subjects, the subject of Measurement Technology, one non-technical subject, and two main subjects with project works and the diploma thesis at the end. The obligatory subjects are chosen from
8 groups.
The two main subjects are chosen from a selection of 40 different subjects. Main subjects consist of core and complementary subjects; the lectures of both together amount to 10 hours per week. The core subjects are obligatory for the respective main subject. The two main subjects can be combined with each other and with any obligatory subject. The exams in a main subject can be either oral or oral and written or written.
In each of the two main subjects a project work, the so called Studienarbeit, has to be carried through. It represents a supervised research work of about 350 hours at an institute or in industry (in close cooperation with the institute). The results have to be presented orally.
In addition, a practical course is required. It consists of 8 experiments from which 4 to 6 have to be part of the respective main subject. The remaining experiments should be chosen at will from other fields of study (General Mechanical Engineering Practical).
The final thesis, the so called Diplomarbeit, completes the academic education. It is covering a scope of 4 months. The student has to show that he is capable of dealing on his own with a problem in the field of Mechanical Engineering within a given period. The type of problem should be taken from one of the two main subjects and is supervised by academic staff.
Both, Studien- and Diplomarbeit (final project) can easily be carried through within an exchange programme.
The main subjects represent the fields of research of the institutes of the faculties of Mechanical Engineering and of related faculties. In the following chapter, the institutes present their respective teaching programme provided for the various main and obligatory subjects. The courses of these programmes are only part of the Stage 2 Studies. In consultation with the responsible lecturer, the contents of each lecture can be examined orally and certified for studies at other universities.

Factory Planning I (Bischoff)
Methoden der Fabrikplanung I
Planning a factory does not only demand a profound knowledge about the design of work stations and material flow, about technical and information-related processes, but it also requires a suitable instrument to handle the "planning" in a target-oriented and consistent way. Factory planning is a problem definition from which a multitude of single tasks derives which are to be analysed and coordinated in accordance with the targets established by the company. The focus of the lecture is both on the technical solution of these single tasks and on the coordination of operations. The occurring problems are being exemplified by a case study.

Material flow is considered as a unit, in regard to public traffic network as well as to single work stations. At the beginning, the location needs to be chosen, then the long-term planning of a company require, for example, a master plan for house building. The determination of production facilities within single operation areas makes it possible to calculate the necessary building volume. After defining the material flow you can join together various areas to an optimum lay-out, using methods of operation research. Case studies will emphasise this focus.

Quality Assurance in Production (Schloske)
Qualitätssicherung in der Fertigung
Satisfying customer requirements in the areas of product features and services provided, is a decisive factor in competitive success. A change in thinking has taken place in fault recognition where the orientation is towards preventive measures to avoid faults in the manufacture of products. The tasks of quality management are defined within the framework of this background, where all departments and employees, from marketing to customer service, must play their part in system-oriented quality management. The various quality assurance tasks and processes are dealt with, particularly quality planning and guidance. The quality strategies are verified by examples and experiences from actual practice in industry. The actions necessary to adapt the organisation according to its operational extent, to produce optimum effect of the measures, are indicated and the quality costs which act as a standard for measuring the effectiveness of the quality assurance activities, are clarified.

The time and temperature dependent mechanical properties of polymeric materials require specific calculation methods and designing rules for correct dimensioning. Starting with parts of simple geometry the dimensioning is shown for different parts such as screws, tooth wheels, rolls and sliding bearings as well as for polymer specific joining techniques like snap fits or welding. Further topics are the creation and estimation of residual stresses, ageing behaviour and chemical resistance, friction and wear, metal inserts, calculation methods of strength and stability, model experiments, design rules for injection moulded parts, processes causing the change of dimension and some economic aspects.

Mathematical Methods of Production Planning (Lentes)
Mathematische Methoden der Produktionsplanung
In contrary to the improvisation, planning is more systematic with respect to a pursued goal as a rational running decision-making process. Today, planning becomes more important, namely because of the internal and external changing circumstances. New mathematical planning methods have been developed in the past few years. They enable enterprises to analyse decision problems and to solve complex optimising tasks either with or without the assistance of computer technologies (e.g. based on linear optimalisation, waiting queue theory, heuristic proceeding). From an engineer's point of view the fundamentals, possibilities and limits of exact and heuristic planning methods have to be discussed and their applications have to be shown guided by practical examples.

In contrast to classical thermodynamics which deals with macroscopic systems and is based on experience, the kinetic theory of gases considers molecules on the basis of axioms. With a simple model describing molecules as billiard balls the equation of state of ideal gases can be derived. In this way thermodynamic relations can be established even when experiments are difficult to perform, for instance in the region of low pressure.

Low temperature engineering is an application of thermodynamics and part of energy engineering. Nevertheless, due to some peculiarities in this field not all tasks can be solved by common methods. The thermal conductivity and heat capacity for instance change their values drastically in the region of low temperatures. The working fluids partly exhibit unusual behaviour as well. Refrigeration processes with adiabatic throttling, with isentropic and isochoric expansion are feasible. By adequate combination of different processes the

The energy transport by thermal radiation plays a greater role than often assumed. Even at ambient temperature radiation is sometimes predominant and in low temperature engineering it must often be taken into account. For calculation one needs the equation of
Planck (or Wien or Rayleigh-Jeans), the Stefan-Boltzmann equation and the laws of
Kirchhoff, Lambert, Bouguer and Beer. In general, radiation depends on the wave length or frequency. This is particularly true for gases; their radiation can be described illustratively as stream of photons.

Starting with the concept of temperature different temperature scales are discussed in the light of their historical development. After that, the thermometers using different principles of measurement are treated. Such principles are: the thermal extension of solids, liquids and gases, the vapour pressure and most important - with regard to processing electrical signals - the electrical properties. Finally the correct installation of the gauge is shown which is a necessary prerequisite for a good measurement.
