Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Mechatronics and Technical Optics
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechanical Engineering / Production Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2021
Module code: DBMAB-340
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P720-0018, P720-0019
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
-
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
8
Academic Year: 3
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
2 graded exams:
Exam 1 (Applied Metrology und Control Eingineering, Duration 120 min., 100 pts.)
 o The exam will be written in the 5th semester (Block 5A) according to the exam schedule.
 o Distribution
   - 50 pts. (60 min) for “Angewandter Messtechnik” (Applied Metrology)
   - 50 pts. (60 min) for “Regelungstechnik” (Control Eingineering)
 
Partial exam (“Angewandte Mechatronik und Technische Optik” (Applied Mechatronics and Technical Optics): Duration 90 min., 100 pts.)
 o This exam will be written in the 6th semester (Block 6A) according to the examination schedule.
 o Distribution
   - 50 pts. (45 min.) for “Angewandter Mechatronik” (Applied Mechatronics)
   - 50 pts. (45 min.) for “Technische Optik” (Technical Optics)
 
Reasons for splitting the exam into two partial exams:
• The “Angewandte Messtechnik” and “Regelungstechnik”lectures  in block 5A (5th semester) are the prerequisites with regard to content for the "Angewandte Mechatronik" lecture in block 6A (6th semester).
• The workload for “Angewandte Mechatronik” is calculated on the assumption that the contents and methods taught in the lectures “Angewandte Messtechnik” and “Regelungstechnik” can be understood and applied, i.e. “Angewandte Mechatronik” requires the competencies acquired in the lectures “Angewandte Messtechnik” and “Regelungstechnik”.
- The division into two exams, one written in Block 5A (5th semester) and the other in Block 6A (6th semester), ensures that the workload is evenly distributed.
 
Prerequisites for receiving credits:
The achievement of at least 40 points out of 100 in each partial exam.
 
The module grade is calculated as follows:                 
62.5% of the points for the "Angewandte Messtechnik & Regelungstechnik” exam         
37.5% of the points for the “Angewandte Mechatronik & Technische Optik” exam
The grade will be shown as a decimal grade according to the htw saar grading scheme.

Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan Christoph Gaukler
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan Christoph Gaukler

[updated 11.06.2021]
Learning outcomes:
Angewandte Messtechnik (Applied Metrology):
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will be familiar with basic metrological and sensory principles and will be able to use and evaluate sensors for measuring physical quantities such as displacement, angle, force, pressure, acceleration, angular velocity, flow and temperature.
 
Regelungstechnik (Control Eingineering):
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will be familiar with the basic components of a closed control loop and be able to explain and, if necessary, identify control engineering terms such as command variable, control difference or control variable. They will be able to analyze simple dynamic control systems in the time and frequency domain and understand test signals such as the step function, the impulse function or the Dirac delta distribution.
 
Angewandte Mechatronik (Applied Mechatronics):
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will be familiar with the expansion of mechanical systems by way of sensors, microcomputers and actuators for the realization of semi-intelligent products and systems. They will understand the function and construction of mechatronic systems and be able to assess and evaluate their areas of use in various applications such as automotive, aerospace technology or production technology. Building on the knowledge acquired in the sub-modules "Angewandte Messtechnik" and "Regelungstechnik", "Angewandte Mechatronik" will expand students´ knowledge of the use of microcomputers and, in particular, different types of actuators. With this knowledge, students will be able to develop mechatronic systems into cyber-physical systems in the “Industrie 4.0” module.
 
Technische Optik (Technical Optics):
After successfully completing this part of the module, students will be familiar with the basics of optics and in particular geometrical optics. They will be familiar with the most important optical processes and devices and understand how they work. In addition, they will be able to construct basic optical systems.
