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).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 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. Pascal Stoffels
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Pascal Stoffels

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will: be able to model components using a CAD system - e.g. Siemens NX - with its basic functions and commands.
- Students will be aware of the production-oriented adherence to guidelines regarding the standardization of components.
- They will be familiar with the influences of manufacturing processes on the design of components - for example, for machining (turning/milling), forming (bending) or additive manufacturing (3D printing)
- They will be able to transfer their knowledge to other production processes and independently familiarize themselves with technology-specific characteristics.
