E2926 (P211-0302) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Master, ASPO 01.04.2019 , semester 2, optional 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).
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):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer:
Dr.-Ing. Matthias Flieger

Learning outcomes:
The aim of this lecture is to impart practical knowledge on achieving market access for both established and innovative technologies with a focus on the regulatory processes in the European Union and other regions of the world. Students are given insight into the requirements and procedures for testing and certification and, after completing the module, are able to understand the processes required for achieving market access and to forecast the access requirements based on existing product characteristics. The focus lies on the practical communication of regulatory requirements while at the same time creating a basic technical understanding of the technologies under consideration, how they work and the parameters relevant to testing. Finally, the market access processes are explained using specific practical application examples.
