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

E521 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 5, 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):
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E203 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II
E303 Electronics I
E402 Electronics II

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire a broad understanding of the microelectronic production processes currently in use. Armed with this knowledge, students will be able to evaluate the application of specific integrated semiconductor elements and associated logic families.
Students will acquire a detailed understanding of the common logic families. They will be able to distinguish the different logic families and will have learned how to use numerical simulations to assess potential applications.
The skills learned in this course will enable students to select suitable components and SMDs for research and development activities in their chosen area of work.
