Laboratory Practical
The work placements integrated into the course of studies at the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology bridge the gap between the theoretical content of the lectures and practical applications. Thus, in the second to fourth semester, the basics of Electrical Engineering are covered in small groups by means of practical experiments.
In the 2nd study section, the subject matter of the compulsory and selected optional courses is intensified through the practical use of measuring equipment, software tools and design tools in small groups.
To get a better overview of the laboratory internships and their experiments, you will find an overview below.
Laboratory Practical for Bachelor Electrical Engineering & LA BK EE
The Laboratory Practical Course A consists of the experiments for the unit " Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering A" and General Electrical Engineering:
- Direct current circuits
- Electric and magnetic fields
- Flow Fields
- Induction processes
- Fuel Cell
- Photovoltaics
The following nine experiments from the courses "Digital Technology" and "Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering B" will be carried out in Lab Practical Course B
- Digital basic gates
- Memory circuits
- Arithmetic units
- Digital control units
- Programming of microcontrollers
- Clearing procedures / Dynamic balancing processes
- Transient behaviour of linear and non-linear circuits
- Alternating current circuits
- Electrical power
Laboratory Practical Course C includes the following six experiments from the courses "Semiconductor Components" and "Measurement Technology":
- Carrier frequency measuring bridge
- Digital measurement data acquisition
- Signal analysis in amplitude, time, frequency and shift time range
- Characteristic curves of passive and active components
- Transfer characteristics of emitter, collector and base circuit, source follower
- Analogue basic circuits
- measurements on circuits with operational amplifiers
ATTENTION:
The order of the experiments has changed from winter term 2019/20. In order to enable the completion of the "old" modules, the old sequence will still be offered once in WiSe2019/20 and SuSe2020. It is recommended to complete the "old" modules as soon as possible. The transitional arrangement will then end and only the "new" sequence in the module will be available!

Laboratory Practical for Bachelor Industrial Engineering and Management Electrical Engineering
In the third semester you should choose the module "Laboratory Practical " according to the study plan. Please be aware that the "Laboratory Practical B" takes place in the winter semester and the "Laboratory Practicals A & C" in the summer semester. Please plan your choice well in advance. Due to the fact that the catalogue of technical compulsory subjects has been restructured as of these examination regulations, the recommendations for the booking of the laboratory internships and the later "Technical Elective Modules" have changed. Please refer to the Module Handbook from winter semester 2019/20 (https://ei.uni-paderborn.de/en/studies/formalities/regulations/.) to find out about favourable choices or come to our office hours at the Office of Student Services for Electrical Engineering.
Please note:
For the "Laboratory Practical Course B" VHDL is required for the experimental area of the FG Data Systems Technology!
In the second semester, you have the opportunity to choose a basic technical course for the first time. Your study plan includes three technical foundation modules, each of which consists of two subjects. You can choose from the five modules with the subjects:
- Components (materials and semiconductor components)
- Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II (Power Engineering and Measurement Technology)
- Signal and system theory (signal theory and system theory
- Theory of Electrical Engineering (Field Theory and Electromagnetic Waves)
- Computer Science for Electrical Engineers (Digital Technology and Computer Architecture)
In addition, the second semester not only includes the choice of a basic technical course, but also a laboratory practical, if applicable.
The choice of the basic technical courses also influences your options in the laboratory practical and in the later advanced studies. The laboratory practicals build on the respective basic technical subjects. Your study plan states that you have to choose two of the three laboratory practicals. The choice of laboratory practicals should depend on the chosen basic technical courses, so that the preparation and execution of the experiments is more successful.
With the module combination of Components, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II and Signal and System Theory, Laboratory Practicals A and C would be a suitable choice. These modules facilitate the specialisation in Automation Engineering.
The module combination Basics of Electrical Engineering II, Signal and System Theory and Technical Computer Science for Electrical Engineers is also a suitable choice for the Laboratory Practicals A and B, but these facilitate the subjects from the specialisation Information Technology.
A module combination of Components, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II and Theory of Electrical Engineering are a suitable basis for the specialisation in Microsystems Engineering, as well as for the laboratory sessions A and C.
With the module combination of Components, Signal and System Theory and Computer Science for Electrical Engineers, all three lab practicals would be a suitable choice. The specialisation in Information Technology can be aided by this decision.
