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

E927 Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 9, optional 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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 93.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vlado Ostovic
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vlado Ostovic

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire the skills and techniques to understand the principles underlying the electromagnetic and thermal design of electric machines. They will also learn to describe the machine design process using analytical and numerical algorithms and will be capable of independently developing solutions to selected practical problems. The skills acquired in this course provide students with a solid basis for designing electrical machines with high functional reliability.
