Introduction to Arduino

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Introduction to Arduino
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
International Project Semester, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2020
Module code: IPS.TEC1
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
1V+1LU (2 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
2,5
Semester: 1
Mandatory course: no
Language of instruction:
English
Required academic prerequisites (ASPO):
-
Assessment:
Exam

[updated 13.11.2023]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

EPS.TEC1 (P231-0157) European Project Semester, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 1, optional course
IPS.TEC1 International Project Semester, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2020 , semester 1, optional course

Suitable for exchange students (learning agreement)
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 75 hours (equivalent to 2.5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 52.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended knowledge:
Programming skills
