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

MEB_24_M_5.17.AUM (P241-0437, P241-0438) Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, SO 01.10.2024 , semester 5, mandatory course
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 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
N.N.
Lecturer: N.N.

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to handle, use and apply programmable logic controllers, as well as system-theoretical methods for solving practice-oriented control and regulation tasks in the field of mechanical engineering. They will be able to select controllers and their settings in a practice-oriented manner. Students will be familiar with the problems involved in selecting and setting control loops. Introduction of modern tools for problem solving, modeling and simulating automation tasks.
