Physics 3

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Physics 3
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019
Module code: MST2.PH3
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.
P231-0064
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
4V+3PA (7 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
8
Semester: 3
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Project work

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

MST2.PH3 (P231-0064) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 3, mandatory course
MST2.PH3 (P231-0064) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2020 , 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).
105 class hours (= 78.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 240 hours (equivalent to 8 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 161.25 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
MST2.PH1 Physics 1
MST2.PH2 Physics 2


[updated 16.09.2020]
Recommended as prerequisite for:

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have mastered the basics of vibrations and waves. They will be able to independently set up a differential equation based on a balance (forces, energy, currents, etc.) and find suitable solutions. They will be able to understand analogies and can transfer the repsective principles to other areas of physics. Students will be able to design and conduct their own simple experiments and interpret the results.
In addition, the students will be able to carry out small projects. They will be familiar with the brainstorming process for brainstorming ideas, be able to plan resources, allocate their project work time and finally settle the project costs. They will be able to work together in teams, solve minor conflicts themselves and present their own project results to the public.

[updated 05.10.2020]
Teaching methods/Media:
The course is divided into an experimental physics lecture part, as well as workshops and seminars on project management. In an independent teamwork phase in the last weeks of the semester, students will plan, built and present exhibits for the "Open House". The examination will take place on the day of the "Open House", the project results will be publicly displayed, summarized on a poster and students will provide technical documentation.
