Oral examination 20 min.

[updated 04.11.2020]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MAM_19_V_1.05.ESV (P241-0032) Engineering and Management, Master, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 1, mandatory course, Specialization Process Engineering
MAM_24_V_1.05.ESV Engineering and Management, Master, SO 01.10.2024 , semester 1, mandatory course, Specialization Process Engineering
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):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Matthias Faust
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Matthias Faust
