E2942 (P211-0318) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Master, ASPO 01.04.2019 , optional 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).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Michael Kleer
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Michael Kleer

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to independently analyze and simulate a given task from the field of automation technology and implement the selected solution approach in prototype form in hardware and software. They will be able to independently record, design, calculate, and program applications for automation systems. Students will be able to select modules for connection to processes, put them into operation, and thus implement an automation solution as an example. Furthermore, they will be able to document the implemented project and defend it in a presentation.
