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

MST205 Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 2, 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):

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire the basic knowledge required for mechanical engineering design and for understanding the mechanical components used in sensors. Students will understand the relationships describing static loading of materials and will be able to formulate and solve simple practical problems relating to the strength of materials. In view of the importance of mechanical and micromechanical sensors, examples will be taken from these fields. The aim is to help students acquire an appreciation of material elasticity and material strength particularly with respect to the geometries typically found in sensor technology.
