Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Industrial Control Technology
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: E408
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.

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

E408 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):
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E203 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II
E204 Measurement and Instrumentation Engineering I
E302 Measurement and Instrumentation Engineering II

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire the skills and techniques needed to understand the structure, operating principles, implementation and deployment of industrial control systems and to use these systems to solve problems of practical interest. After completing this course, students will be able to handle simple industrial control projects. The fundamental concepts of control engineering taught in this course will enable students to tackle more advanced topics in control technology. The methods acquired in this module form the basis for the Automation Engineering lab course.
