German
Assessment:
Written examination + 3 assessed lab reports

[updated 10.03.2010]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E104. Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 1, mandatory course, course inactive since 28.11.2013
E104 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , 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).
90 class hours (= 67.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 210 hours (equivalent to 7 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 142.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended knowledge:
None

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have acquired the skills and an understanding of those fundamental aspects of electrical engineering necessary to solve problems in the areas ‘DC systems’ and ‘the electric field’ that arise in all later more specialist courses. In particular, students will have learned the basic methods for analysing problems in electrical engineering.
