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

MAM-8.V.3 Engineering and Management, Master, ASPO 01.10.2004 , semester 8, 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).
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.-Ing. Horst Altgeld
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Horst Altgeld

Learning outcomes:
This course teaches students about four selected software packages and their application in the field of energy technology and process engineering. Each student has the opportunity to become acquainted with one of the four products in more detail.  
 
Students will be taught how these tools can be employed for design and layout tasks and how they can be used to control, and therefore reduce, the number of experimental studies required.
