After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• design planetary and bevel gear independently
• explain the mode of operation of worm, cycloid gear and freewheels
• calculate gear micro-geometries independently
• understand the occurrence of gear damage and assess its consequences
• master in-depth calculation tasks of machine construction
• implementing machine designs with 3D CAD systems in a methodically sensible manner as well as using computer-aided design and verification methods
• use common machine element calculation programs
