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

MTM.NAA Mechatronics, Master, ASPO 01.04.2020 , optional course
MAM2.1.2.18 Engineering and Management, Master, ASPO 01.10.2013 , semester 1, optional course, course inactive since 01.03.2022
MST.NAA Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Master, ASPO 01.04.2016 , optional course
MST.NAA Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Master, ASPO 01.10.2011 , optional 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).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Walter Calles
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Walter Calles

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to classify the topic of nanotechnology thematically and describe the special properties of nanomaterials based on physical and chemical laws.
They will be able to decide which analytical methods are suitable for specific problems.
They will be able to show the application potentials of nanotechnology by means of discrete examples and will be familiar with already established products or industrial implementations of nanotechnology.
They will be aware of special precautions regarding occupational safety measures and the general risks involved in handling small particles.
