Program description

Content

Engineering disciplines utilize the results of computer science and mathematics research to an ever greater extent, both in the development of products and in the products themselves. This trend will certainly continue. New results in computer science and mathematics thus become an important innovation factor in engineering and are therefore central areas of competence for an engineer and a technical university. This has a direct impact on the objectives of the computer science and engineering course.

Engineering education benefits significantly from computer science, and computer science benefits significantly from the modeling techniques used in engineering. To be prepared for the requirements of the future, the aim of the course is to offer combined training in computer science, mathematics and engineering. This is a particularly sustainable training principle, both for industry and for research. Computer engineering opens the line between hardware and software in the light of engineering applications. Decisions as to which parts of a system should be implemented more cheaply in hardware or better with the help of flexible software can only be made and carried out on the basis of solid knowledge of both disciplines, both IT and engineering. The aim of the course is to introduce the problem and to deal with both essential aspects.

The objectives of the basic qualification are to impart knowledge, skills and competences in the fields of computer science, mathematics and engineering to the students so that new areas of knowledge and thus also new products can be developed. Choices that support student in self-determined studiesination are offered in specialisation areas.



Career prospects

Successful completion of the bachelor's degree in computer science engineering at TUHH enables graduates to start a career in science, computer science engineering or a related subject, as well as an early career start in areas from trade, industry and administration (professional qualification). The graduates will then primarily work as engineers and system developers for software and hardware.

Because of their broad training, graduates are particularly requested in the job market, since the bridge between IT specialists and engineers is essential in system development. Depending on the chosen specialization, the course trains computer scientists with an engineering background or engineers with a computer science background, who find very good employment opportunities on the German and international job market largely regardless of economic trends.


Learning target

The learning objectives leading towards the described qualification are divided below into the categories knowledge, skills, social skills and independence.

Knowledge

The learned knowledge comprises facts, principles and theories in the subjects of computer science, engineering and mathematics.

  1. Students can reproduce, define and explain known standard languages for representation used in computer science and mathematics (logic, automata theory, formal languages, graph theory, linear algebra, analysis, discrete algebraic structures, stochastics, systems theory, etc.) necessary for the formal modeling of application problems (syntax, semantics, decision problems).
  2. Students can reproduce elementary data and index structures (vectors, matrices, relations, trees, files, pages) for sequential algorithms (also in hardware-related form) and show their advantages and disadvantages for special tasks. Students can specify algorithms to solve decision problems for formal modeling techniques. They can reproduce the basic structure of simple computing systems at different levels of abstraction in an architecture, so that you can explain how algorithms are executed on concrete systems.
  3. The students are familiar with a whole range of classic applications of computer engineering and mathematical modeling techniques and can explain them.
  4. Students know how problems can be broken down into smaller sub-problems (reductionist approach) and how partial results can be combined to form an overall result. Students can also describe problems that arise from error propagation and error accumulation and provide examples. Students can reproduce and justify that security, reliability, and maintenance of partial services in the event of an error (graceful degradation) can only result from concrete design decisions in an initial draft and cannot be integrated into an existing draft afterwards with reasonable effort.
  5. Graduates are able to explain the importance of entrepreneurial planning and goals, to analyze the organizational and personnel structures as well as the production and procurement systems of companies, to classify pricing policy and other important instruments for system development (e.g. marketing).

Technical Skills

The course of Computer Science and Engineering teaches the ability to apply learned knowledge in order to complete tasks and thus solve problems in many facets.

  1. Students can design and develop formal representation languages (syntax, semantics, decision problems), and they can assess and determine the expressiveness of the formalisms necessary for simple applications. Students can map decision problems of different formalisms onto one another and thus compare the expressiveness of formalisms.
  2. Students can examine algorithms for decision problems for completeness and correctness or convergence behavior and approximation quality, and they can demonstrate whether an algorithm is optimal or for which types of inputs the worst case occurs with regard to the runtime behavior of an algorithm.
  3. Students can implement algorithms in programming or hardware description languages, test them and integrate them into application systems using operating systems to manage resources and use databases to manage large amounts of data. Students can demonstrate that desired states of a system are reached (controllability, accessibility) and that undesired states are never reached (safety and liveliness properties). Students can implement computer structures in hardware-related units.
  4. Students can use formal modeling techniques for engineering applications to create, review, or evaluate simple, prototypical systems to solve problems from an application context (in terms of a simulation, as a data management system, as an application, etc.). Students can explain how models, programs and systems are automatically translated into corresponding units at a lower level of abstraction.
  5. Students can design interfaces that allow systems to be built from modules or layers, the internals of which can be adapted without changing the interfaces. Students are able to describe design criteria, how systems can be reused and can also be used in other systems.

Social skills

The ability and the will to work with others in a goal-oriented manner, to grasp their interests and social situations, to communicate and to help shape the working and living environment is broken down as follows for the degree course in Computer Science and Engineering:

  1. Students understand that methods of computer science and mathematics are developed across all applications and that a major achievement of the computer science engineer is on the one hand in the professional application of the methods and on the other hand in demonstrating others (clients, project partners, colleagues, ...) that a method is (in a specific sense) optimal.
  2. Students can form teams to work in groups, define and distribute subtasks, make appointments, integrate partial solutions. They are able to communicate, interact socially and behave appropriately in the event of conflicts.
  3. Students explain the problems described in a scientific paper and the solutions developed in the paper in a field of computer science or mathematics, evaluate the proposed solutions in a lecture and respond to scientific questions, additions and comments.
  4. Students describe scientific questions in a field of computer science, engineering or mathematics and explain in a presentation an approach they have developed to solve it and respond appropriately to inquiries, additions and comments.

Competence to work independently

The ability and willingness to act independently and responsibly, to reflect on one's own actions and those of others, and also to further develop one's own ability to act, is broken down as follows into finer aspects.

  1. The students independently evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of representation formalisms for specific tasks, compare different algorithms and data structures as well as programming languages ​​and programming tools, and they independently select the best solution.
  2. The graduates independently develop a small, very clearly defined scientific sub-area, can present it in a presentation and actively follow the presentations of other students, so that an interactive discourse on a scientific topic arises.
  3. Students integrate themselves into a project context and assume responsibility for tasks in a software or hardware development project.

Program structure

The curriculum of the Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering is structured as follows. In addition to the compulsory courses from core qualification, a minimum number of credit points must be taken from each of the areas of computer science, mathematics and engineering:

  1. Core qualification: 138 credit points
  2. Computer science: 12 credit
  3. Mathematics & Engineering: 6 credit points

To deepen their studies, students can choose lectures from the entire catalog of technical events at the TUHH. A total of 12 credit points must be achieved. The bachelor thesis is also rated with 12 credit points. This results in a total effort of 180 credit points.

Module Responsible Dagmar Richter
Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge None
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The Non-technical Academic Programms (NTA)

imparts skills that, in view of the TUHH’s training profile, professional engineering studies require but are not able to cover fully. Self-reliance, self-management, collaboration and professional and personnel management competences. The department implements these training objectives in its teaching architecture, in its teaching and learning arrangements, in teaching areas and by means of teaching offerings in which students can qualify by opting for specific competences and a competence level at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level. The teaching offerings are pooled in two different catalogues for nontechnical complementary courses.

The Learning Architecture

consists of a cross-disciplinarily study offering. The centrally designed teaching offering ensures that courses in the nontechnical academic programms follow the specific profiling of TUHH degree courses.

The learning architecture demands and trains independent educational planning as regards the individual development of competences. It also provides orientation knowledge in the form of “profiles”

The subjects that can be studied in parallel throughout the student’s entire study program - if need be, it can be studied in one to two semesters. In view of the adaptation problems that individuals commonly face in their first semesters after making the transition from school to university and in order to encourage individually planned semesters abroad, there is no obligation to study these subjects in one or two specific semesters during the course of studies.

Teaching and Learning Arrangements

provide for students, separated into B.Sc. and M.Sc., to learn with and from each other across semesters. The challenge of dealing with interdisciplinarity and a variety of stages of learning in courses are part of the learning architecture and are deliberately encouraged in specific courses.

Fields of Teaching

are based on research findings from the academic disciplines cultural studies, social studies, arts, historical studies, migration studies, communication studies and sustainability research, and from engineering didactics. In addition, from the winter semester 2014/15 students on all Bachelor’s courses will have the opportunity to learn about business management and start-ups in a goal-oriented way.

The fields of teaching are augmented by soft skills offers and a foreign language offer. Here, the focus is on encouraging goal-oriented communication skills, e.g. the skills required by outgoing engineers in international and intercultural situations.

The Competence Level

of the courses offered in this area is different as regards the basic training objective in the Bachelor’s and Master’s fields. These differences are reflected in the practical examples used, in content topics that refer to different professional application contexts, and in the higher scientific and theoretical level of abstraction in the B.Sc.

This is also reflected in the different quality of soft skills, which relate to the different team positions and different group leadership functions of Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates in their future working life.

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

  • locate selected specialized areas with the relevant non-technical mother discipline,
  • outline basic theories, categories, terminology, models, concepts or artistic techniques in the disciplines represented in the learning area,
  • different specialist disciplines relate to their own discipline and differentiate it as well as make connections, 
  • sketch the basic outlines of how scientific disciplines, paradigms, models, instruments, methods and forms of representation in the specialized sciences are subject to individual and socio-cultural interpretation and historicity,
  • Can communicate in a foreign language in a manner appropriate to the subject.
Skills

Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

  • apply basic methods of the said scientific disciplines,
  • auestion a specific technical phenomena, models, theories from the viewpoint of another, aforementioned specialist discipline,
  • to handle simple questions in aforementioned scientific disciplines in a sucsessful manner,
  • justify their decisions on forms of organization and application in practical questions in contexts that go beyond the technical relationship to the subject.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

Personal Competences (Social Skills)

Students will be able

  • to learn to collaborate in different manner,
  • to present and analyze problems in the abovementioned fields in a partner or group situation in a manner appropriate to the addressees,
  • to express themselves competently, in a culturally appropriate and gender-sensitive manner in the language of the country (as far as this study-focus would be chosen), 
  • to explain nontechnical items to auditorium with technical background knowledge.


Autonomy

Personal Competences (Self-reliance)

Students are able in selected areas

  • to reflect on their own profession and professionalism in the context of real-life fields of application
  • to organize themselves and their own learning processes      
  • to reflect and decide questions in front of a broad education background
  • to communicate a nontechnical item in a competent way in writen form or verbaly
  • to organize themselves as an entrepreneurial subject country (as far as this study-focus would be chosen)

Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge

Participating students should be able to

- specify algorithms for simple data structures (such as, e.g., arrays) to solve computational problems 

- apply propositional logic and predicate logic for specifying and understanding mathematical proofs

- apply the knowledge and skills taught in the module Discrete Algebraic Structures

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

Students can explain syntax, semantics, and decision problems of propositional logic, and they are able to give algorithms for solving decision problems. Students can show correspondences to Boolean algebra. Students can describe which application problems are hard to represent with propositional logic, and therefore, the students can motivate predicate logic, and define syntax, semantics, and decision problems for this representation formalism. Students can explain unification and resolution for solving the predicate logic SAT decision problem. Students can also describe syntax, semantics, and decision problems for various kinds of temporal logic, and identify their application areas. The participants of the course can define various kinds of finite automata and can identify relationships to logic and formal grammars. The spectrum that students can explain ranges from deterministic and nondeterministic finite automata and pushdown automata to Turing machines. Students can name those formalism for which nondeterminism is more expressive than determinism. They are also able to demonstrate which decision problems require which expressivity, and, in addition, students can transform decision problems w.r.t. one formalism into decision problems w.r.t. other formalisms. They understand that some formalisms easily induce algorithms whereas others are best suited for specifying systems and their properties. Students can describe the relationships between formalisms such as logic, automata, or grammars.



Skills

Students can apply propositional logic as well as predicate logic resolution to a given set of formulas. Students analyze application problems in order to derive propositional logic, predicate logic, or temporal logic formulas to represent them. They can evaluate which formalism is best suited for a particular application problem, and they can demonstrate the application of algorithms for decision problems to specific formulas. Students can also transform nondeterministic automata into deterministic ones, or derive grammars from automata and vice versa. They can show how parsers work, and they can apply algorithms for the language emptiness problem in case of infinite words.

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The students have a fundamental understanding of object orientated and generic programming and can apply it in small programming projects. The can design own class hierarchies and differentiate between different ways of inheritance. They have a fundamental understanding of polymorphism and can differentiate between run-time and compile-time polymorphism. The students know the concept of information hiding and can design interfaces with public and private methods. They can use exceptions and apply generic programming in order to make existing data structures generic. The students know the pros and cons of both programming paradigms.

Skills

Students can break down a medium-sized problem into subproblems and create their own classes in an object-oriented programming language based on these subproblems. They can design a public and private interface and implement the implementation generically and extensible by abstraction. They can distinguish different language constructs of a modern programming language and use these suitably in the implementation. They can design and implement unit tests.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students can work in teams and communicate in forums.

Autonomy

In a programming internship, students learn object-oriented programming under supervision. In exercises they develop individual and independent solutions and receive feedback.

Basic knowledge in electrical engineering

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

This module deals with the foundations of the functionality of computing systems. It covers the layers from the assembly-level programming down to gates. The module includes the following topics:

  • Introduction
  • Combinational logic: Gates, Boolean algebra, Boolean functions, hardware synthesis, combinational networks
  • Sequential logic: Flip-flops, automata, systematic hardware design
  • Technological foundations
  • Computer arithmetic: Integer addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
  • Basics of computer architecture: Programming models, MIPS single-cycle architecture, pipelining
  • Memories: Memory hierarchies, SRAM, DRAM, caches
  • Input/output: I/O from the perspective of the CPU, principles of passing data, point-to-point connections, busses
Skills

The students perceive computer systems from the architect's perspective, i.e., they identify the internal structure and the physical composition of computer systems. The students can analyze, how highly specific and individual computers can be built based on a collection of few and simple components. They are able to distinguish between and to explain the different abstraction layers of today's computing systems - from gates and circuits up to complete processors.

After successful completion of the module, the students are able to judge the interdependencies between a physical computer system and the software executed on it. In particular, they shall understand the consequences that the execution of software has on the hardware-centric abstraction layers from the assembly language down to gates. This way, they will be enabled to evaluate the impact that these low abstraction levels have on an entire system's performance and to propose feasible options.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to solve similar problems alone or in a group and to present the results accordingly.

Autonomy

Students are able to acquire new knowledge from specific literature and to associate this knowledge with other classes.

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

This module presents advanced concepts from the discipline of computer architecture. In the beginning, a broad overview over various programming models is given, both for general-purpose computers and for special-purpose machines (e.g., signal processors). Next, foundational aspects of the micro-architecture of processors are covered. Here, the focus particularly lies on the so-called pipelining and the methods used for the acceleration of instruction execution used in this context. The students get to know concepts for dynamic scheduling, branch prediction, superscalar execution of machine instructions and for memory hierarchies.

Skills

The students are able to describe the organization of processors. They know the different architectural principles and programming models. The students examine various structures of pipelined processor architectures and are able to explain their concepts and to analyze them w.r.t. criteria like, e.g., performance or energy efficiency. They evaluate different structures of memory hierarchies, know parallel computer architectures and are able to distinguish between instruction- and data-level parallelism.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to solve similar problems alone or in a group and to present the results accordingly.

Autonomy

Students are able to acquire new knowledge from specific literature and to associate this knowledge with other classes.

Recommended Previous Knowledge Module "Embedded Systems"
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are tightly integrated with their surrounding environment, via sensors, A/D and D/A converters, and actors. Due to their particular application areas, highly specialized sensors, processors and actors are common. Accordingly, there is a large variety of different specification approaches for CPS - in contrast to classical software engineering approaches.

Based on practical experiments using robot kits and computers, the basics of specification and modelling of CPS are taught. The lab introduces into the area (basic notions, characteristical properties) and their specification techniques (models of computation, hierarchical automata, data flow models, petri nets, imperative approaches). Since CPS frequently perform control tasks, the lab's experiments will base on simple control applications. The experiments will use state-of-the-art industrial specification tools (MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, NXC) in order to model cyber-physical models that interact with the environment via sensors and actors.


Skills After successful attendance of the lab, students are able to develop simple CPS. They understand the interdependencies between a CPS and its surrounding processes which stem from the fact that a CPS interacts with the environment via sensors, A/D converters, digital processors, D/A converters and actors. The lab enables students to compare modelling approaches, to evaluate their advantages and limitations, and to decide which technique to use for a concrete task. They will be able to apply these techniques to practical problems. They obtain first experiences in hardware-related software development, in industry-relevant specification tools and in the area of simple control applications.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to solve similar problems alone or in a group and to present the results accordingly.

Autonomy

Students are able to acquire new knowledge from specific literature and to associate this knowledge with other classes.
