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

MAB-2.3 Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2004 , semester 2, 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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vlado Ostovic
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vlado Ostovic

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire an overview of the most important relationships concerning electromagnetic fields. After completing this course, students will be able to select the right type of electrical equipment, such as motors, rectifiers, etc., for applications at the boundary between mechanical and electrical engineering (e.g. drive systems, vehicle technology, etc.).
