[updated 11.03.2010]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E506. Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 5, optional course, course inactive since 28.11.2013
E506 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 5, 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).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
E101 Mathematics I
E102 Physics I
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E201 Mathematics II
E202 Physics II

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have a fundamental understanding of the communications technologies typically used in residential and non-residential buildings. They will be in a position to use their knowledge to plan projects and independently develop solutions to specific technical problems in the field of building automation and control. Specific skills taught include:
   - Application of the concepts used in building services engineering
   - Using the Electrical Installation Bus (EIB) to automate processes in  
     residential and non-residential buildings
   - Planning and implementing network topologies based on the EIB
   - Process-specific selection and deployment of EIB actuators and sensors
