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

MAB_19_PE_5.09.GTL (P241-0250, P241-0251) Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, regulation 01.10.2019 , semester 5, mandatory course, Specialization Product Development
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 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
MAB_19_A_1.02.TMS Engineering Mechanics - Statics
MAB_19_M_3.05.MK1 Machine Elements and Design 1
MAB_19_M_3.07.TMK Engineering Mechanics – Kinetics
MAB_19_M_4.03.MK2

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have mastered the prinicples of systematically designing transmission systems and can classify and characterize different types of transmission systems. They will be able to identify and describe typical movements of working bodies, dimension selected transmission types to meet given kinematic requirements and design them under kinetostatic aspects.
