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

Written examination

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

E403. Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 4, mandatory course, course inactive since 28.11.2013
E403 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 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 67.5 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

Learning outcomes:
In this module, students will learn the fundamental ideas necessary for assessing elementary signal and data transmission systems in automation technology. Having acquired this knowledge, students will be able to use mathematical models to describe real processes and to design and dimension suitable controllers. After completing this course, students will have acquired the methods and techniques required for the modules Control Engineering I and II and for the Automation Engineering lab course.
