Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
The Statistics and Theory of Numerical Simulation
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechanical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2024
Module code: DFMME-110
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.
P610-0443
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.
5V+3U (8 hours 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
Semester: 1
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written exam 120 min.

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

DFMME-110 (P610-0443) Mechanical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 1, mandatory course
MAM_19_A_1.01.MTS (P241-0088) Engineering and Management, Master, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 1, mandatory course
MAM_24_A_1.01.MTS Engineering and Management, Master, SO 01.10.2024 , semester 1, 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).
120 class hours (= 90 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 240 hours (equivalent to 8 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 150 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Marco Günther
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Marco Günther

Learning outcomes:
Statistics:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to solve statistical problems in the field of engineering sciences independently. They will be able to prepare and analyse complex data sets and interpret the results. Using suitable estimation methods, they will be able to draw conclusions about the population from a sample and critically scrutinize available statistics or the results of their evaluation.
  
Simulation Theory
In the context of engineering problems, students will be familiar with the basics of mathematical modeling and numerical methods. They will be familiar with the basic properties of partial differential equations, simple solution methods and know about the possibilities and limitations of numerical methods using the finite difference method.
