E921 (P211-0256) Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 9, 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).
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. Benedikt Faupel
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Benedikt Faupel

Learning outcomes:
In this module, students will be taught the basics of process control technology. They will also learn to solve process control problems and analyse typical applications. As a result students will be able to understand and independently solve the typical problems that arise when implementing process control systems. Students will acquire a structured understanding of process control functionalities, operational requirements, data acquisition and analysis systems and visualization tools, and will be able to develop solutions to specific process control problems.  This course expands the students’ expertise in the area of automation engineering and enables them to adapt quickly to PCS implementation projects.
