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

MST406 Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 4, 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).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.

Learning outcomes:
Fundamentals of systems theory. After completing this course, students will understand and be able to use modern tools for assessing the behaviour of elementary transmission systems in the time and frequency domains. They will also be capable of using the different descriptive models and of applying Laplace transformations. Students will have a good command of the methods taught in this course and will be able to deploy them when processing sensor signals.
