Learning outcomes (list)

1. Expertise: You have insight into how electrical and mechanical components influence each other in products, services, and systems, and you align them accordingly.
You describe the operation of a direct current (DC) machine.
You perform calculations on a DC machine.
You predict the behaviour of a resistor, an inductor, and capacitor in a DC circuit.
2. Installation: You install a complex electromechanical system, commission it, and keep it operational.
You correctly connect the DC machine based on indicator plate data.
4. Analysis and justification: You independently analyze a technical question or problem within the framework of a complex electromechanical project and propose technically sound solutions.
You correctly analyse a DC circuit using measurement data (power, voltage, current).
5. Design: You create structured designs within the scope of an electromechanical project, critically using various sources.
You perform DC calculations on circuits with resistors.
You perform DC calculations with capacitor circuits in combination with resistors.
You perform DC calculations with inductors in combination with resistors.
You perform DC calculations using the fundamental laws that demonstrate the physical operation of electricity.
