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

MST502 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):
MST406 Systems Theory

Learning outcomes:
Students will be taught how to handle and apply system-theoretical methods for solving practical control problems. The focus of this module will be on selecting suitable control strategies and on tuning controllers. After completing this course, students will understand and be able to apply solutions in which they select and adjust appropriate control circuits that integrate suitable sensors and actuators.
