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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- describe the basics of serial data communication forms in vehicles.
- evaluate bus systems with regard to their characteristics and the requirements of their use.
- understand the different data communication problems in a vehicle in comparison to data communication between vehicles or between a vehicle and its environment and derive criteria for the development of future communication systems.
