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).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 56.25 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rüdiger Tiemann
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rüdiger Tiemann

Learning outcomes:
Students will receive an overview of fluid mechanics. After successfully completing this course, students will be familiar with the basic hydraulic elements and will be able to combine them into simple hydraulic circuits. In addition, they will be familiar with the basic effects of steady flows and will be able to make rough calculations.
