Final exam
Details
It is planned to conduct the summary examination as an oral examination, in individual cases with a high number of candidates also a written examination. The examination ensures that each student has achieved the goals of the L.O. individually.

55% of this summary examination is included in the overall grade. The remaining 45% weighting consists of an assessed internship, which does not take place every semester.
Minimum standard
Sound explanation of the function of diverse converters

series-resonant converter
Expenditure classroom teaching
Type Attendance (h/Wk.)
Practical training 2
Tutorial (voluntary) 0
Special literature
keine/none
Special requirements
none
Accompanying material
Lab documents, Internet (Students must find the necessary documents to show self-dependent way of working)
Separate exam
Exam Type
interview (discussion) about special issues in scenario, project assignment or literature research
Details
The students work independently and consciously with few specifications / instructions on the construction of converters. In a detailed discussion with the lecturer, the students explain the steps and effects.
Minimum standard
The students are able to describe the function of the assembled circuits in a valid way, the circuits function in the laboratory setup.
