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

MST301 Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 3, 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:
This course is an experiment-centred series of physics lectures. The course aims to:
  - provide students with an appreciation of the systematic structure and methods of physics,
  - extend student understanding of the fundamentals of the subjects covered,
  - teach students the basic tools of physics.
Students will learn to develop interdisciplinary solutions to technical problems and to accustom themselves to switching between different academic disciplines.
