MEB_24_M_3.05.MK1 Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 3, 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:
Prof. Dr. Bernd Heidemann
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Bernd Heidemann

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to classify technical systems into technical products and machines. Students will be able to analyze and justify technical systems in terms of function and element design. Students will be familiar with basic construction methods, joining techniques and elements and will be able to develop constructive solutions with these. They will be able to constructively design simple elements (e.g. grippers, pliers, presses, jigs and fixtures) for basic requirements (functional, manufacturable) and present them in handmade drawings. Students will be able to formulate questions and present constructive ideas in front of a large group.
