| Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester (civil), 6th or 7th semester (diplom) |
| Scope and form: Lectures, groupwork and project work. Furthermore homework problems. Guest lectures by engineers. |
Evaluation: Written exam and approval of reports
The project report and the written examination should be passed in order to obtain a passing final grade. The project report has the same weight as the written examination in the final grade. |
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: 72134, 72234 |
| Prerequisites: 72231,50101 / 50300 |
| No credit points with: 72134,C8203,C8204 |
| Participant limitation: Max. 30 |
| Aim: To learn the participants to analyse, evaluate and design hydraulic and pneumatic systems and units to control of machines and machinery by using MATLAB / SIMULINK. |
