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

E416 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 4, 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).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Horst Wieker
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Horst Wieker
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfram Seibert

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have acquired a basic appreciation of automotive engineering. Students will learn how a vehicle functions and how vehicle communications systems combine to achieve specific driving characteristics. They will have a basic understanding of key automotive subsystems: brakes, chassis and vehicle dynamics, and will be able to assess special functions such as ABS, ASR or ESP from an electrical engineering perspective.
