Modul

The assessment is carried out as partial exams (according to Section 4(2) of the examination regulation) of the single courses of this module, whose sum of credits must meet the minimum requirement of credits of this module. The assessment procedures are described for each course of the module separately.

The overall grade of the module is the average of the grades for each course weighted by the credits and truncated after the first decimal.

The student

• acquires fundamental principles in materials science and device technology of sensors.
• applies materials and sensors from the viewpoint of an application or development engineer.

It is only possible to choose this module in combination with the module Sensor Technology I [WI4INGETIT3]. The module is passed only after the final partial exam of Sensor Technology I is additionally passed.

The operating principles of the most important sensors are taught. The student will learn to use the acquired knowledge for key issues relating to select and use sensors. Sensor module I gives an overview of the basic sensor principles. Sensor module II goes into specific topics of sensors and actuators further.

Knowledge of electrical engineering is assumed. Therefore it is recommended to attend the courses Electrical Engineering II [23224] beforehand.

The total workload for this module is approximately 270 hours. For further information see German version.
