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 explain the technical terminology of basic measurement and control technology.
You describe a control loop with all its components.
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 derive the correct parameters of a process from recorded data/graphs.
5. Design: You create structured designs within the scope of an electromechanical project, critically using various sources.
You design various types of control system diagrams.
You determine the controller settings for processes.
6. Informed decision-making: You make a technically, sustainably, and economically sound choice from available components to integrate into an electromechanical system.
You select the appropriate measurement sensor depending on the application.
7. Measurement: You choose relevant measurement methods, perform measurements, correctly interpret the results, and formulate optimization proposals where necessary.
You describe the most common industrial process measurement principles.
You convert measurement results to measured process quantities and vice versa for the most common industrial process measurement principles.
