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

MEB_24_A_2.05.KWL (P241-0459, P241-0460) Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, regulation 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 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. Moritz Habschied
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Moritz Habschied

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the production conditions, processing and properties of cast iron materials, various steels, light metal alloys, plastics and their possible applications. Their knowledge of microstructures will enable them to select suitable materials for given problems. Students will be able to estimate the influence of temperature on properties and select suitable heat treatments to achieve desired properties. In practical exercises, they will learn to work in groups to acquire new knowledge and to work on interdisciplinary test tasks. They will be able to reflect their opinions and defend them with factual arguments.
Students will improve their subject-related technical English skills. Students will know the subject-specific English terms.
