8115 Physics 1, Part 2: Electrical Engineering (EEng), WS2023/24
Course: 8115 Physics: Mechanics, Electricity and Magentism, WS2023/24, Part 2: “Electrical Engineering”
Course ID: 8115_2 (part of 8115)
(Old Course Number: EE_1.08)
Structure of 8115 (aka EE_1.08) 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 | Dr. Irmgard Buder |
| Part 2 | Electrical Engineering | EEng | 8115_2 | Clein Sarmiento |
Exam and Grading
The two course parts 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 | 40 |
| EEng | lab exercises | 10 |
| Max total | 100 | |

EEng Lecture
Every Thursday * Lecture Room: 01 01 105 * Lecture Time: 08:15 - 9:45 and 10:00 - 11:30
Lecture
The lectures will be given live on campus. At least the EEng part will be streamed, recorded and uploaded for later offline access.
The links to the videos are shared on the Discord channel of this course.
Relationship with other Courses
The course EEng is used to lay the foundations for the following courses:
- (EE_2.03) Physics 2: Thermodynamics, Radiation, Heat Transfer,
- (EE_3.02) Energy Technology,
- (EE_4.03) Applied Measurement and Control
Lab Teams, Lab Groups and Lab Exercises
Each student can earn 10 points max by completing the lab experiments.
