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

MEB_24_V_4.11.APP Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 4, 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. Matthias Faust
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Matthias Faust

Learning outcomes:
Plant design, planning and project execution: After successfully completing this course, students will be familiar with, understand and be able to explain the main steps of plant design from specification to detail engineering. Students will be familiar with, understand and be able to explain the exemplary project sequence, consisting of:
• Phase 1: Project definition, brainstorming
• Phase 2: Planning,
• Decision-making: Order, execution, yes/no?,
• Phase 3: Execution,
• Phase 4: Project completion
They will be familiar with, understand and be able to explain calculations, cost tracking and different project types. Students will be familiar with, understand, and be able to explain and apply project management methods. Technical law in plant design: Students will understand and be able to explain the basics of technical law in plant design (e.g. Federal Immission Control Act). Team work: Students will be familiar with, understand, be able to explain and apply basic project teamwork methodology.
