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:
MTM.BWT Motion Control Technology

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have mastered the prinicples of systematically designing transmission systems and can classify and characterize different types of transmission systems. They will be able to identify and describe typical movements of working bodies, dimension selected transmission types to meet given kinematic requirements and design them under kinetostatic aspects.
