Be careful with your workload!
Simple Math? 4 x 30 CP = 120 CP Terms avg. workload total workload Progress control 9 CP after 1st, 30 CP after 2nd and 60 CP after 4th semester. Two succeeding fails in a mandatory course or less than 90 CP after the 6th semester causes loss of examination eligibility ( you are out ). Credit points can only be obtained by passing the exam
Electronics & Components Where to get the 120 CP? 20 CP 5 courses 20 CP Core Enhancement Supplement Microelectronics 2 Advanced Electronic Packaging High-Speed Electronics Information Storage Lab on Chip 26 CP 12 CP Advanced Electromagnetics High Frequency Engineering Computational Electromagnetics 1 Antenna Theory Computational Electromagnetics 2 Methods of Model-Order Reduction Electromagnetics 3 Electromagnetics 4 Electrotechnical Extensions to MOR Control & Automation Automation Systems (Systems Theory and Control Eng. 3)* Component Based Systems Soft Control Communications & Signal Processing Telecommunications 1 Digital Signal Processing Telecommunications 2 Neural Networks: Impl. + Appl.
