All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

DFBME-418 (P610-0632, P610-0633) Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 4, 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).
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. Thomas Heinze
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Heinze

Learning outcomes:
In this module, students will acquire basic knowledge in the field of conventional metrology and control technology and understand how to implement basic functional setups. They will be familiar in particular with measuring methods for measuring displacement, strain, force, accelerations, rotational speed, torque, pressure, flow rate, temperature, current, voltage, resistances and will be able to assess their properties and set up and operate said measuring equipment independently.
Students will be proficient in the practical selection of controllers and their settings. They will be familiar with the design and setting of control loops.
