Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

BIBA672 (P110-0040) Civil and structural engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.04.2009 , semester 6, mandatory course
BIBA672 (P110-0040) Civil and structural engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 6, mandatory course
BIBA672 (P110-0040) Civil and structural engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2017 , semester 6, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
