Attention:
In the winter term 23/24, our „Regelungstechnik” lecture has been thoroughly restructured, which means that some old topics are no longer taught, instead some new content will is added. In connection with the lecture renewal, the recognition process including the recognition criteria has been also updated.
Some important innovations summarized:
- The Course Content form has been updated.
- It will no longer be possible to cover the missing topics through an additional work (e.g. in the form of homework or an oral exam). The combination of different subjects in order to cover all relevant topics remains permitted.
- The experience reports from previous years are currently outdated due to updated recognition criteria and should not be taken into account.
FAQ
Can I get a binding assertion in advance that confirms that my foreign course will be accepted?
It is in general not possible to provide a binding confirmation about the recognition of a course.
In particular, this also leads to the situation that you cannot change your study plan in advance of your stay abroad.
The course that I am planning to attend does not cover all topics marked red or only a few marked yellow. Is it still possible to get it recognized?
You can take several subjects and have them recognized in combination instead of control engineering, so that all missing subject areas are covered.
It is not possible to get an examination of the missing topics by IRT!
