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

E933 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 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Volker Schmitt
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Volker Schmitt

Learning outcomes:
Students will become acquainted with the problem and necessity of testing electronic circuits. Students will be taught the most common test procedures and will be able to design testable electronic circuits. They will also be able to decide on the most appropriate test method for a specific problem and to further their own understanding of other more specialist topics in electronic testing.
