Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
The Finite Element Method (FEM)
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Master, ASPO 01.04.2016

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

MTM.FEL (P231-0006) Mechatronics, Master, ASPO 01.04.2020 , semester 1, mandatory course
MST.FEL (P231-0093) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Master, ASPO 01.04.2016 , semester 1, 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).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 116.25 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. Heike Jaeckels
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heike Jaeckels
