Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Digital Technology
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Computer Science and Web Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018
Module code: DFBI-343
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.

[updated 06.07.2021]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

DFBI-343 (P610-0196) Computer Science and Web Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 6, optional course
KI370 (P200-0006) Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2014 , semester 3, 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.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will understand digital circuits (switching networks and switching plants), be able to analyze them and design them. Students will be proficient in the methods of digital technology, the use of intelligent components (counters, memories, converters, coding systems), their operation and application in practical examples.
