The HECTOR School of Engineering & Management offers seven Executive Master Programs. The HECTOR School – named after Dr. Hans-Werner Hector, one of the co-founders of the software company SAP – is the Technology Busi-ness School of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

The Master Programs are more than typical MBA programs, because they combine management with engineering topics. The primary goal is to enable professionals to take a holistic approach when managing highly interdependent processes and to be aware of the latest state of technology in the respected field of expertise.

All programs share five Management Modules, providing the participants with general leadership know how for engineers: knowledge in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Business Strategy, International Project Management and Intellectual Property Rights. On this basis they can consider commercial implications of business decisions. Workshops and case studies allow ample opportunity to explore the direct application of the know-how, simulating the real business environment.

Essential part of the HECTOR School is the part-time philosophy of its Master Programs. Intermittend periods of lectures are scheduled to allow participants to continue with demanding careers while acquiring new skills & knowledge.

Green Mobility Engineering

About one-third of all energy consumed in a country is attributed to mobility. Transport emissions strongly influence global warming and air quality. Thus, mankind will naturally strive for ‘green mobility’ systems. This vision of ‚green mobility‘ requires engineers who are committed and develop new ‚green‘ technologies.

EM3 ICE, Power Train & Energy Storage

As an introduction of the master pro-gram, it’s first module provides a review about the requirements, approach-es, and challenges of sustainable future mobility systems. Those are given by social, environmental, eco-nomic, political, and user needs. They foster the creation of new solutions on different levels: traffic, energy, and data infrastructure, traffic, mobility behavior, driver vehicle interaction, vehicle, vehicle subsystems and components, functional elements and new materials. New ve-hicle and traffic concepts are based on that.

The module than refers to drive sys-tems and their interaction, describes energy carrier, and energy stor-age starting with alternative fuels and modern internal combustion engines followed by storage systems for electri-cal drive systems. The lecture ‘Energy conversion’ presents conventional and new power train systems. The mod-ule also covers the transmission from the wheel to the road and is conclud-ed by today’s advancconclud-ed control systems.

Electric Power Train

In the recent past and foreseeable fu-ture, most innovations in conven-tional automotive systems are close-ly linked to new developments in electronics. In hybrid and pure electric vehicles the electric power train, i.e. the mechatronic integration of energy stor-age, power and signal electronics, drive control and electric motor, is technically the most innovative and important part of the vehicle. The need for communi-cation between sensors, actuators and

control units has massively increased. Faster communication systems are being created.

An important key to reduce the complex-ity of software of signal electronics and sensors are structured multisource software development tools and provisions for safe memory sharing of code from different suppliers. Power electronics is now capable of higher switching frequencies to reduce losses and audible sound. Sophisticated control algorithms further improve motor per-formance. High-speed electric motors have become more and more powerful in recent years with new technologies like rare earth magnets and field weak-ening operation.

Starting with the fundamentals in electrical engineering the module covers the topologies of electric mo-tors, principles of power electronics, and systems engineering including a comprehensive case study.

Vehicle Driver Interaction

Modern vehicles are becoming more and more intelligent. Sensors and cognitive control units detect and communicate with the environment, recognize other vehicles and other road users, interpret and predict their behavior and improve dramatically road safety. Based on detailed road, infrastructure and traffic data and using predictive green routing and vehicle operation management a comfortable, energy and time efficient drive is realized.

Many components of actual and future cars are coming along with properties which differ significantly from those in classical vehicles as high torque at zero speed, limited cruising range, need for additional battery charging infrastructure and cost accounting systems, high voltage safety requirements, different noise and vibration, autonomous actions etc. Consequently new vehicle concepts and operation strategies are needed which also affects the human machine interaction.

“Studying Green Mobility Engi-neering was the next step in a successful professional career for me. The five Engineering Mo-dules give a deep insight into the new challenges of the automo-tive industry. Highly experienced lecturers show the state-of-the-art research in the topics of electro engines, batteries, but also cognitive systems or embe-dded systems. This broad variety of subjects combined with the five Management Modules with a lot of case studies are the perfect fundament for a further person-nel development. On top, you are still able to continue your current job and to introduce the new me-thods to your daily business life.” Alexander Spies

EM5 units are used. The most important

control system in the car is the driver. Understanding its sensation, cognition and action is very important to create attractive vehicle concepts and to get the driver’s acceptance.

This module addresses different aspects of the driver vehicle interaction. The drivability deals with the usability of a vehicle by the driver including ease of use, fulfillment of driver’s expectations concerning safe, comfortable and efficient drive, degree of complexity of the driver vehicle interface, predictability of vehicle’s action and reaction and others. Many different methods to evaluate the driver needs, benefits and acceptance exist and will be presented in this module.

Vehicle Traffic Interaction

This module extends the scope of green mobility to the perspective of multiple cars interacting on the road and with traffic-related infrastructure. Cars will become able to perceive their environment and react autonomously to reduce the risk of accidents, to improve driving efficiency and comfort. Autonomous driving has the potential to improve traffic flow, reduce traffic congestions and save energy. Enhanced traffic management systems will increase the ability of the driver to interact with the car and the surrounding traffic. This module introduces technologies for vehicle perception based on lidar, radar and visual camera sensors. The interpretation of the sensor signals to obtain a consistent model of the environment is demonstrated. Latest developments of car-to-x-communication systems are presented and improvements in safety and traffic flow are discussed. Finally, models of traffic flow and traffic management are introduced. Traffic demand modeling as a core concept for modern traffic management is included in this module.

Regulations & Economics of Networks

Developing future “Green Mobility” products requires advanced technolo-gies and production systems as well as an understanding of demand and sup-ply in transportation markets. Those factors are boundary conditions for the successful implementation of future mobility systems.

This module introduces lightweight strategies and methods of manu-facturing as well as production sys-tems for e-mobility. Key aspects of electric energy distribution systems and management are addressed. Stu-dents are enabled to evaluate vehicle concepts based on total cost of own-ership and well-to-wheel CO₂-emission scenarios. Transportation markets and their specific mechanisms, trends in travelling demand and economy as well as political regu-lations are further topics. Students are enabled to analyze market opportuni-ties for future projects.
