Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Embedded Systems
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Computer Science and Communication Systems, Master, ASPO 01.10.2017
Module code: KIM-EMBS
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

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).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 135 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martina Lehser
Lecturer:
Dr.-Ing. Jörg Herter

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, the students will be able to assess the special challenges involved in designing embedded systems with regard to hard and software and take them into consideration during implementation. They will be able to make necessary design decisions based on their background knowledge and develop properties with regard to real-time behavior.

[updated 24.02.2018]
