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

MST102 Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 1, 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).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
MST202 Chemistry II with Lab Course

Learning outcomes:
This module introduces students to the fundamentals of chemistry. In addition to teaching relevant terminology, the course will cover the most important materials and reactions. By applying simple rules, rote learning of formulae will be reduced to a minimum.
