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

E302 (P211-0015) Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 3, 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).
90 class hours (= 67.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 210 hours (equivalent to 7 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 142.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E203 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire the skills and techniques required in the area of electrical measurement and instrumentation engineering. The aim of the lectures is to teach students the fundamental ideas, principles, procedures and scope of measurement and instrumentation engineering, and how to apply them. Areas covered include basic and normalized quantities, measurement instruments, circuits and methods, and the measurement of non-electrical quantities. The methods acquired in this module provide a solid grounding for students taking the advanced modules: ‘Electrical Engineering Theory’, ‘Electronics’, ‘Systems Theory’, ‘Sensors and Actuators’, ‘Control Engineering’, ‘Signal and Image Processing’ and ‘Process Automation’.
 
Learning outcomes/skills – Lab course:
Students will consolidate and extend the knowledge they acquired in the second semester. They will acquire further knowledge and skills in the area of electrical measurement and instrumentation engineering. By developing measurement strategies, setting up measuring equipment, preparing and performing measurement series, systematically analysing the results, and critically discussing the data and the associated measurement errors, students will acquire the skills and techniques needed to solve measurement problems in electrical engineering.
