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

MST306 (P231-0001) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, 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).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 56.25 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
MST105 Fundamentals of Engineering Design
MST205 Engineering Statics and the Strength of Materials

Learning outcomes:
The aim of this course is to teach students to produce technical drawings and to calculate component strength using CAD and FEM tools. Students will be able to generate 2D and 3D technical drawings and will be able to solve simple practical problems relating to the strength of materials using the available software tools. Students will also learn how to make use of libraries of standardized parts and how to work with fastening elements such as screws, nuts, etc. Illustrative examples will be discussed that reflect the importance of mechanical sensors.
