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

E202 Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , 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 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:
E404 Electric Power Supply Systems I
E405 Electrical Machines I
E506 Building Services Engineering I

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course, students will have acquired a basic understanding of the physical quantities, equations and relationships needed to develop solutions to engineering problems. Students will be able to use physical methods to describe technical processes. The knowledge acquired in this course is a fundamental prerequisite for understanding more advanced modules in an engineering degree.
