Design Engineering

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Design Engineering
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: E103
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.
3V+1U (4 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.
5
Semester: 1
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written examination, graded project work

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

E103. Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 1, mandatory course, course inactive since 28.11.2013
E103 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).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended knowledge:
None

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire the skills and techniques needed to analyse and understand the structure of technical products, and to represent these products at different levels of abstraction using system categorization, functional structures and engineering drawings.
With the knowledge they acquire about the product development process, students will be in a position to systematically plan and tackle product development tasks.
