Actuators with Lab Course

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Actuators with Lab Course
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: MST506
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
2V+1U+1PA (4 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
5

Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written exam, project work

[updated 06.08.2012]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MST506 Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, 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).
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):

Learning outcomes:
This course aims to teach students the various ways in which physical effects can generate motion. Students will be introduced to the range of electric motors and fluidic actuators available. They will also learn about thermal actuators, special-purpose actuators and how to distinguish actuators by means of their characteristic curves. Students will also solve theoretical and practical problems on a hydraulic teaching rig  and test rig for small electric motors.
