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

MAB-4.1 Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2004 , 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 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 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. Klaus Kimmerle
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Kimmerle
Prof. Dr. Michael Reimann
