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

E614 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 6, 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):
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E203 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II
E303 Electronics I
E402 Electronics II

Learning outcomes:
This lecture course aims to provide students with a broad understanding of the field of telecommunications electronics by teaching the fundamental principles of the subject and providing examples from current developments in the field.
After completing the course, students will be able to teach themselves those advanced areas of the subject that they will encounter in their subsequent careers.
The lectures are run in tandem with accompanying problem solving classes. By tackling practically relevant problems, students learn to use commercially available simulation software to simulate the complex circuits and systems found in telecommunications electronics.
The problem-solving exercises require the students to display the results of the simulations graphically and to interpret and assess the results – skills that enable them to develop optimized solutions for specific technical problems. Finally, students are expected to present their proposed solutions to the lab group thus training the social and communicative skills needed in their later professional lives.
