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

MST501 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 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
MST604 Microprocessors and their Applications II

Learning outcomes:
The module “Microprocessors and their Applications I” teaches students the fundamentals of microprocessors and microcontrollers. The interaction of hardware and software components is explained in detail and demonstrated using practical examples. After completing this course, students will be in a position to understand a microcontroller system and to operate the system to accomplish a specified task. The focus of this module is on practical applications.
