About

Today's complex information processing systems require specialists with comprehensive know-how regarding the software, hardware and information technology aspects of such systems. This degree enables you to understand, specify, design and maintain such systems and to further specialise in the disciplines involved. Basics of Mathematics and Mathematics Extensions The first two semesters will supply the mathematical fundamentals for scientific engineering (12 TU). During the following two semesters, the basics of signal and system theory (8 TU) are taught, which are essential for information technology in general. Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Electrical Engineering In this series of lectures, the foundations of electrical engineering (8 TU) are presented, which include basic measuring techniques and methods of design and analysis of linear and nonlinear circuits. These courses are supplemented by two lectures on electronics which introduce electronic devices and the foundations of analogue electronic circuits (9.5 TU). One lecture on digital circuits (4 TU) completes this series. Electrical Engineering Applications Information and communication systems are software-based and work on application-specific hardware. Fundamentals of microcontroller architectures and programming are introduced in one course (5.5 TU). An additional course (4 TU) will offer the design and implementation of application-specific digital systems and the corresponding hardware description language VHDL. Software Construction Technical systems are widely based on software. Therefore, knowledge of programming languages and methods of software design is absolutely essential. This course introduces the procedure-oriented programming language C and the object-oriented language JAVA (9.5 TU). Additional topics are algorithms and data structures (4 TU). Computer Science This course is based on the course "software construction". It contains methods and procedures to design complex software systems (4 TU) and is completed with modern concepts of databases (4 TU) and operating systems (4 TU). Finally, there is a software engineering project in which students have to apply their knowledge to solve a manageable problem in small groups. Advanced Engineering Topics and Electives Students specialise in further fields of engineering by electives (15 TU) and the following modules: bus systems and sensors (4 TU), digital communication systems (4 TU) and digital signal processing (4 TU) which deal with the transmission and processing of analogue and digital signals. Non-Technical Modules The programme complements the engineering modules with other modules that prepare graduates for success in their careers: economics & management and scientific & project work (6 TU), intercultural competence (2 TU) and German language (2 TU). The study process is supported by two modules in learning and study methods (5 TU). Industrial Placement In the fifth semester, the programme contains an internship (industrial placement). Students work in industry for 20 weeks in order to become acquainted with the daily working life of an engineer. Personal support is provided by a professor. There is no mandatory practical training before the start of the programme. 1 TU = teaching unit of 45 minutes per week
