Program description

Content

Complex technical systems dominate application fields such as medical technology, energy technology, or aviation, as well as numerous others. Engineers and computer scientists must work hand-in-hand in system development. This is particularly true at the interfaces between networked computing systems and their physical environment - we speak of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Their proliferation and thus their importance for society as well as their complexity will continue to increase in the future as digitization progresses. 

The Computer Science in Engineering program addresses cyber-physical systems with a combined, scientific education in the three pillars of computer science, mathematics, and engineering. In computer science, basic methods of software development, programming, and quality assurance are taught. In engineering, the fundamentals of electrical engineering and especially control as well as communications engineering are central to understand, characterize, and design interfaces to the physical world and digital networks in depth. Freedom in the advanced studies allows connecting points to other engineering disciplines and the latest computer science methods. Furthermore, methodical knowledge is imparted, so graduates can independently familiarize themselves with new technologies. Social skills for working in teams are also taught.

Study plans in (M) medical technology, (I) smart grid for energy systems, (E) embedded systems and (C) fundamentals of computation show possible focuses.

In this way, future-proof knowledge is acquired for almost all application areas.

In addition to the foundational curriculum taught at TUHH, seminars on developing personal skills are integrated into the dual study programme, in the context of transfer between theory and practice. These seminars correspond to the modern professional requirements expected of an engineer, as well as promoting the link between the two places of learning.

The intensive dual courses at TUHH integrating practical experience consist of an academic-oriented and a practice-oriented element, which are completed at two places of learning. The academic-oriented element comprises study at TUHH. The practice-oriented element is coordinated with the study programme in terms of content and time, and consists of practical modules and phases spent in an affiliate company during periods when there are no lectures.


Career prospects

Successful completion of the bachelor's degree program Computer Science in Engineering makes it possible, on the one hand, to take up a scientific master's degree program in Computer Science, Computer Science in Engineering, or a related subject. On the other hand, an early career entry in branches of trade, industry, and administration is possible. Graduates will primarily work as computer scientists or system developers of cyber-physical systems.

In addition, students acquire basic professional and personal skills as part of the dual study programme that enable them to enter professional practice at an early stage and to go on to further study. Students also gain practical work experience through the integrated practical modules. Graduates of the dual course have broad foundational knowledge, fundamental skills for academic work and relevant personal competences.


Learning target

The learning objectives listed below enable graduates to transfer their acquired specialist knowledge to new topics. They will be able to grasp and analyze problems in their discipline and solve them efficiently, either independently or in a team. Results can be assessed, evaluated, critically scrutinized and independent decisions can be made. The learning objectives are divided below into knowledge, skills, social competence and independence.

Knowledge

  • Engineering Science: Graduates will know basic principles and methods of engineering with a focus in electrical engineering.           
  • Economics: Graduates know the basics and methods of economics.
  • Computer Science: Graduates know basic methods and procedures for model building and problem solving in theoretical, practical and technical computer science.
  • Mathematics: Graduates know the basics and methods of linear algebra, differential calculus in one and more variables, discrete mathematics, higher analysis, stochastics and numerics. They can describe these and outline their proofs.  
  • Bridging the gap between computer science and engineering: Graduates know basic methods and procedures to describe interfaces between engineering applications on the one hand and models of computer science on the other. Graduates are familiar with the basic features of information and communication technology systems, so-called cyber-physical systems. This includes relevant architectures of control systems, information transmission and storage, interaction mechanisms, sensors and actuators, and the extraction and processing of information, knowledge and insights from within the system.

Skills

  • Engineering: Graduates are able to apply their knowledge of mathematical, scientific and systems engineering principles and methods to specific theoretical and practical problems and develop solutions.
  • Computer Science: Graduates are able to develop instances of formal models in computer science using basic modeling approaches and to assess their computability and complexity. They can design software solutions and implement them using suitable programming tools. They can select, program, and integrate suitable hardware for the implementation. 
  • Mathematics: Graduates are able to solve problems from analysis, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, stochastics and numerics using the methods they have learned.
  • Bridging the gap between computer science and engineering: Graduates will be able to identify interfaces between engineering disciplines and computer science, formalize and realize them. Graduates can implement software solutions for engineering applications. Graduates are able to realize simple cyber-physical systems.

Social competence

  • Graduates are able to present the procedures and results of their work in written and oral form.
  • Graduates are able to communicate with experts and laypersons about the contents and problems of engineering. They can respond appropriately to questions, additions and comments.
  • Graduates are able to work in groups. They can define, distribute, document, and integrate subtasks. They are able to make time arrangements and interact socially.

Independence

  • Graduates are able to obtain necessary technical information and place it in the context of their knowledge.
  • Graduates can realistically assess their existing competencies and work on deficits independently.
  • Graduates are able to learn complex topics and work on problems and projects in a self-organized and self-motivated manner (lifelong learning in engineering practice).

By continually switching places of learnings throughout the dual study programme, it is possible for theory and practice to be interlinked. Students reflect theoretically on their individual professional practical experience, and apply the results of their reflection to new forms of practice. They also test theoretical elements of the course in a practical setting, and use their findings as a stimulus for theoretical debate.


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: 168 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 210 credit points.

The following four course plans describe special features of the IIW Bachelor's degree

E. Embedded systems

Module Responsible Prof. Matthias Mnich
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.

Personal Competence
Social Competence
  • Students are able to work together in teams. They are capable to use mathematics as a common language.
  • In doing so, they can communicate new concepts according to the needs of their cooperating partners. Moreover, they can design examples to check and deepen the understanding of their peers.
Autonomy
  • Students are capable of checking their understanding of complex concepts on their own. They can specify open questions precisely and know where to get help in solving them.
  • Students have developed sufficient persistence to be able to work for longer periods in a goal-oriented manner on hard problems.

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.

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.

Professional Competence
Knowledge

Students apply the principles, constructs, and simple design techniques of functional programming. They demonstrate their ability to read Haskell programs and to explain Haskell syntax as well as Haskell's read-eval-print loop. They interpret warnings and find errors in programs. They apply the fundamental data structures, data types, and type constructors. They employ strategies for unit tests of functions and simple proof techniques for partial and total correctness. They distinguish laziness from other evaluation strategies. 

Skills

Students break a natural-language description down in parts amenable to a formal specification and develop a functional program in a structured way. They assess different language constructs, make conscious selections both at specification and implementations level, and justify their choice. They analyze given programs and rewrite them in a controlled way. They design and implement unit tests and can assess the quality of their tests. They argue for the correctness of their program.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students practice peer programming with varying peers. They explain problems and solutions to their peer. They defend their programs orally. They communicate in English.

Autonomy

In programming labs, students learn  under supervision (a.k.a. "Betreutes Programmieren") the mechanics of programming. In exercises, they develop solutions individually and independently, and receive feedback.

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.

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.

The students are aware of applications for the theory of time-independent electromagnetic fields and are able to explicate these.


Skills

Students can apply Maxwell’s Equations in integral notation in order to solve highly symmetrical, time-independent, electromagnetic field problems. Furthermore, they are capable of applying a variety of methods that require solving Maxwell’s Equations for more general problems. The students can assess the principal effects of given time-independent sources of fields and analyze these quantitatively. They can deduce meaningful quantities for the characterization of electrostatic, magnetostatic, and electrical flow fields (capacitances, inductances, resistances, etc.) from given fields and dimension them for practical applications.
