- Brief description
Electrical engineering: Numerous machines and devices use electrical signals - whether for energy supply, energy storage or for measurement and control. This module therefore builds on the knowledge of DC voltages from the module Physik für Maschinenbau and extends these models to AC voltages.
Measurement technology: Measurement systems are necessary components for the safe and efficient operation of many machines and systems, for monitoring production processes and for checking specified product properties. This module therefore teaches basic knowledge of measurement systems, which is required for the selection and operation of measuring devices. In addition, students will learn how to carry out and evaluate measurements.
