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

MEB_24_PE_5.09.GTL (P241-0440, P241-0441) Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, regulation 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 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):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Andrea Bohn
Lecturer:
Dipl.-Ing. Michel Werner

Learning outcomes:
The students master the rules of systematic gearbox design and can classify and characterize gearbox types. They are able to identify and describe typical movements of working elements, dimension selected gearbox types for given kinematic requirements, and calculate them from a kinetostatic perspective.
Students will improve their subject-related technical English skills. Students will know the subject-specific English terms.
