E2408 (P211-0069, P211-0210) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 4, mandatory course, technical
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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will become familiar with the many possibilities of circuit simulation at the component level by using an integrated design environment for circuit analysis and design. They will also make use of the modification options offered by the simulation tool to adapt it to their own special requirements. Students will be able to independently design electronic circuits in the low frequency range and test them in simulations. Within the framework of the tutorial and the project, students will plan various electronic circuits on a printed circuit board in small groups. They will use EDA software to create the necessary layout. To do so, they will apply their knowledge about enclosure and assembly technology, connection technology and layout rules in order to obtain a production-ready, functional design. Students will hold a presentation in which they will present the results of their group work in a well-structured, comprehensible and appealing way. They will write a term paper in the style of a technical report. In it they will document the process from the design of the circuit, to simulation tests and the final version of the circuit board in a clear and concise manner.
