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

MST105 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).
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:
MST205 Engineering Statics and the Strength of Materials
MST306 CAD in Mechanical Engineering
MST404 Precision Manufacturing with Lab Course

Learning outcomes:
In this module, students will learn to read, understand and create technical drawings, which are an essential element of daily communication in engineering and technical environments.
Particular emphasis is placed on instilling the necessary critical approach to working with engineering tolerances. Students will be introduced to the most important design elements and machine components and will learn how to assess these elements and use them in simple engineering constructions.
The overall aim of this module is to teach students how to use technical drawings and to provide them with an appreciation of the range of mechanical engineering elements available.
