Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Motion Control Technology
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics, Master, ASPO 01.04.2020
Module code: MTM.BWT
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

MTM.BWT (P231-0004) Mechatronics, Master, ASPO 01.04.2020 , semester 2, 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):

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to generate the motions of working organs, tools and processed goods under consideration of technological requirements and to evaluate them with regard to various criteria (acceleration, driving forces, vibration behavior). They will be able to design (mechatronic) solutions for the implementation of given motions.
They will be able to analyze a gearbox and be familiar with the key parameters and design criteria. They will be able to calculate essential components and check them for strength.
