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

MEB_24_A_2.03.GBD Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , 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).
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. Ramona Hoffmann
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ramona Hoffmann

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familair with the basic load cases. They will be able to recognize, analyze and calculate the behavior of components under the effect of basic loads. Students will be able to abstract real components on the mechanical models. They will be able to dimension simple components under simple loads. Students will be able to formulate questions and speak in front of a large group.
