Learning and Teaching Methods
The lectures are taught using Tablet-PC and projector. The theory is illustrated by numerical examples. Students will get online access to lectures, exercises collection, and computational examples and projects. Most of the exercises have to be calculated by students as homework before they are discussed in the tutorials. The homework will be graded as a part of the final grade of the course. Computer-based simulation projects will be performed step by step, interactively.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
On the one hand the module will be assessed in the form of a written exam (90 min) or a oral test (20 min) (the decision is made at the beginning of the semester and is based on the number of participants in this course) in which students demonstrate they have understood the formulations and methods of stochastic finite element method (sFEM) and uncertainty quantification, and know how to define and distinguish them. Allowed as an auxiliary tool is a non-programmable calculator. (50%)
On the other hand a project work in the form of homework (programming exercice) are used to report the extent to which participants are able to develop vibro-acoustic models using ANSYS and Matlab and to apply stochastic FEM on their own. Besides the ability of modeling, the acquired knowledge of sFEM formulations will be asked in the homework. (50% )

There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
