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).
15 class hours (= 11.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 30 hours (equivalent to 1 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 18.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Moritz Habschied
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Moritz Habschied

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to use their knowledge about damage mechanisms to:
   - apply the guidelines and procedures for clarifying faults and material-related manufacturing difficulties
   - define the procedure for the analysis and modify it based on interim results.
 
   - select the procedures to be applied and anticipate possible results.
 
   - interpret the results in the context of relevant literature, the circumstances and research results.
 
   - determine the primary cause of faults.
 
   - giveing advice on how to avoid faults.
