Electrical Engineering (Part of Physics 1)
Course: 8115 Physics: Mechanics, Electricity and Magentism, WS2024/25, Part 2: “Electrical Engineering”
Course ID: 8115_2 (part of 8115)
Structure of 8115 Physics: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism
We group the topics “electricity” and “magnetism” together under the term electrical engineering.
This course consists of two course parts:
- Mechanics (8115_01) and
- Electrical Engineering (8115_02).
The two course parts are conducted separately by two lecturers.
| Course Part | General Topic | Abbreviation | Course ID | Lecturer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | Mechanics | Mech | 8115_1 | Mr. Malte Weber |
| Part 2 | Electrical Engineering | EEng | 8115_2 | Dr. Rolf Becker |
Exam and Grading
The two courses are part form one module with one exam.
You will pass the module with 50 points in total.
The scores are distributed as follows:
| Part | Written / Lab | Max Achievable Points |
|---|---|---|
| Mech | written exam | 50 |
| EEng | written exam | 35 |
| EEng | graded lab exercises | 15 |
| Max total | 100 | |
