MEB_24_A_1.04.MA1 Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 1, 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. Marco Günther
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Marco Günther

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have a basic technical and methodological command of mathematics in order to understand engineering methods. They will be familiar with vector calculus and its applications to problems in geometry and mechanics. They will be able to carry out simple calculations using the methods of linear algebra and analysis with regard to applications in mechanical engineering/process technology. Students will be able to solve simple mathematical problems using a software tool.
