Examinations and participation requirements

(5) Deadlines and procedures for registering for courses and examinations correspond to the deadlines and procedures applicable to students of the bachelor's and master's degree programs in mechanical engineering. The examination requirements correspond to the module handbooks of the bachelor's and master's degree programs in mechanical engineering.

 

Scope of application, transitional provisions

(6) These regulations apply to all students of the Bachelor's degree program in Computer Science at the Technische Universität Dortmund with a minor in Mechanical Engineering.

(7) Students who have chosen the minor in mechanical engineering before the winter semester 2019/20 acquire, in deviation, the credit points for each of the following compulsory modules with a total of 12 credit points.

Module Module examination ECTS points
Manufacturing for Computer Science graded 4

Credit points can be acquired through modules of this paragraph for the last time in the summer semester 2021. If the student has not acquired all 20 credit points by September 30, 2021, he or she shall acquire the credit points in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3. Credit points acquired in accordance with paragraph 6 shall be credited in accordance with paragraph 9.

Upon application by the student, credit points shall be acquired for the modules listed in paragraphs 2 and 3. A request that only one of the modules listed in paragraphs 2 and 3 be completed is inadmissible. The request is irrevocable.

(8) Students who have chosen the minor in mechanical engineering prior to the winter semester 2018/19 may also acquire the credit points for the compulsory module "Machine Elements" according to paragraph 6 by taking the following module.

Module Module Examination ECTS points

Footnotes

1] The partial performances of the module INF-BSc-NF-Masch-002 "Machine Elements A" of the minor subject mechanical engineering of the bachelor study program computer science are adjusted as follows:

  • Partial performance on the element technical drawing Written exam technical drawing
  • Partial performance on the element Machine Elements I Online test technical drawing and machine elements

The module grade is calculated as a weighted average of the partial performances, whereby the partial performance on the element technical drawing has a weighting of 3/8 and the partial performance on the element machine elements I has a weighting of 5/8.

The registration for the partial performances examined by an online test takes place via the BOSS for an examination period of usually one week. The exact examination date for each individual student is usually announced one week before the date.
