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

DFMEES-108 (P610-0133) Electrical Engineering - Renewable Energy and System Technology, Master, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 1, mandatory course, technical
E2503 (P211-0024) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 5, 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).
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):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel

Learning outcomes:
Within the framework of project work, solution strategies, suitable automation systems, tools and simulation tools for process automation problems will be specifically selected and prototypically implemented. Students will create their own solutions for sub-tasks that typically occur in the course of industrial automation projects. They will prepare and present their solutions didactically.
