- Brief description
Electrical engineering provides the essential basis for the transmission of energy and information. It is an indispensable part of Mechatronics. The technical implementation of those transmission systems relies on a basic understanding of conduction mechanisms as well as electrical and magnetical fields. After successful completion of this course the students are able to use mathematical methods to perform basic calculations in direct current networks and static and stationary fields.

- Knowledge Broadening
Students who have successfully studied this module are familiar with the electrical conduction mechanisms and the basic laws for calculating currents, voltages and powers in electrical networks. They also know the essential terms and mathematical methods for describing electric and magnetic DC fields in a vacuum and in typical materials
- Application and Transfer
After successfully completing the module, students are able to apply basic mathematical methods for network and field calculation in time-invariant cases.
After passing this module, students will be able to abstract electrical circuits and select and apply the mathematical methods suitable for calculating electrical networks as well as electrical and magnetic DC fields.
- Communication and Cooperation
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to describe electrical networks and electrical and magnetic co-rotating fields using typical technical terms.
