Program description
Content
The fundament for microelectronics and microsystems is semiconductor physics and technology. Thus, the objective of the International Master Program “Microelectronics and Microsystems” is to give the students a profound knowledge on physical level about electronic effects in semiconductor materials, especially silicon, and on the functionality of electronic devices. Furthermore, the students are taught about process technology for fabrication of integrated circuits and microsystems. This will enable the students to understand in depth the function of advanced electronic devices and fabrication processes. They will be able to comprehend in a critical way the problems accompanied with the transition to smaller minimum structure sizes. Thus, the students can conceive which possible solutions may exist or could be developed to overcome the problems of scaling-down the device minimum feature size. This will enable the students to understand the ongoing scaling-down of MOS transistors with its potential but also with its limitations.
Besides the essential role of physical basics the precise knowledge of process dependent manufacturing procedures are of key importance for training of the students in the field of nanoelectronics and microsystems. This will help them to develop during their professional life the ability to generate innovative concepts and bring them to practical applications.
The International Master Program “Microelectronics and Microsystems” qualifies the students for scientific professional work in the fields of electrical engineering and information technology. This professional work may extend from the development, production and application to the quality control of complex systems with highly integrated circuits and microsystems components. Both fields are coming closer and closer together, as a fast rising number of complex applications requires the integration of nanoelectronics and microsystems to one combined system.
In particular, this program enables the students not only to design new complex systems for innovative applications, but also to make them usable for practical applications. This can be realized by teaching the students engineering methods both on a physical and theoretical level and on an application oriented level.
Career prospects
Thus, one group of possible employers are large companies with international sites for the production of integrated circuits, but also small or medium-sized companies for microsystems. Many job opportunities also exist in the field of development and design of integrated circuits and of microsystems. Because of the fast decline in prices of high-performance computer system, even small companies can conduct tasks that require many computational efforts such as the design of integrated circuits that, then, are fabricated by specialized companies, so-called silicon foundries. This allows many small companies to participate in the market for integrated circuits, so that they can contribute to a good job market for engineers in nanoelectronics and microsystems.

Important note: This course is part of an 6 ECTS module
consisting of two courses "Entrepreneurship” & “Creation of Business
Opportunities”, which have to be taken together in one semester. Startups are temporary, team-based organizations, which can form both
within and outside of established companies, to pursue one central
objective: taking a new venture idea to market by designing a business
model that can be scaled to a full-grown company. In this
course, students will form startup teams around self-selected ideas and
run through the process just like real startups would do in the first
three months of intensive work. Startup Engineering takes an incremental
and iterative approach, in that it favors variety and alternatives over
one detailed, linear five-year business plan to reach steady state
operations. From a problem solving and systems thinking perspective,
student teams create different possible versions of a new venture and
alternative hypotheses about value creation for customers and value
capture vis-à-vis competitors. We will draw on recent scientific findings about international success factors of new venture design. To test critical hypotheses early on,
student teams engage in scientific, evidence-based, experimental trial-and-error
learning process that measures real progress. |

Scientific knowledge grows continuously but also experiences certain alignments over time. For example, early cultures had the believe of a flat earth while latest research has a spherical earth model. Also in social science and business management, from time to time certain concepts that have even been the predominant paradigm are challenged by new observations and models. Consequently, certain controversies emerge and build the base for advancing theory and managerial practice. With this lecture, we put ourselves in the middle of heated debates for informed academics and practitioners of the day after tomorrow. The lecture targets several controversies in the domain of technology strategy and innovation management. By the classical academic method and the novel problem based learning format of a structured discussion, a given controversy is scrutinized. On selected topics, students will discuss a dispute and gain a thorough understanding. Specifically, based on a brief introduction of a motion, a affirmative constructive as well as a negative constructive is presented by two different student groups. Each presentation is followed by a response of the other group and questions from the class. Topics range from latest theories and concepts for value capture, to the importance of operating within a global marketplace, to cutting edge approaches for innovation stimulation and technology management. Consequently, this lecture deepens the knowledge in technology strategy and innovation management (TIM), enables a critical thinking and thought leadership. |

The Seminar teaches the basics of project management, which constitutes the foundations for technical as well as for business projects. It also includes a sideline about process management. The participants will work on the following questions:
The approaches are not just taught theoretically, but put to use in group work. Through this approach, participants are enabled to work successfully on actual projects - and manage projects later on. As project work is increasingly important in work life, project management is a key skill for job applicants. Main topics of the seminar include:
With the knowledge and experience from the seminar, participants should be able to acquire a basic certificate in project management with relatively little additional effort. The certification is available through institutions like GPM. Participants already start working on their homework paper in the group work. It comprises 5 to 10 pages and a structure plan for the chosen project, which can be done in Excel for example. Ideally, the members of the work groups write their homework paper together. The expected scale of the paper would increase in this case, yet not proportionally with the number of group members (4 participants would be expected to hand in a paper of 15-20 pages). |

Risks are inherent in every aspect of business, and the ability of managing risks is one important aspect that differentiates successful business leaders from others. There exist various categories of risk, such as credit, country, market, liquidity, operational, supply chain and reputational. Companies are vulnerable to risks. What makes such risks even more complex and challenging to manage is that the risks are often not within the direct control of the business executive. They can exist outside of the company boundary, and yet the impact to the company can be huge. The awareness and knowledge of how to manage risks in companies, will become increasingly important. Some of the main topics covered in this lecture include:

Module M0524: Non-technical Courses for Master |
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 Nontechnical 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, communication studies, migration 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.

Popular novels and films significantly contribute to the public understanding of science and its representatives. How to define “good” or “bad” science is negotiated in a variety of artistic works. Stereotypes such as the “mad scientist”, which originated in early nineteenth century England, continue to persist. Mary Shelley created the prototype of the obsessive and reckless scientist in Frankenstein - The Modern Prometheus (1818) who conducts his forbidden experiments in a secret lab and crosses ethical boundaries. This masculine stereotype has been followed by further ones such as the noble, adventurous or clumsy scientist, whereas scholars have only recently begun to consider the representation of female science. First, this seminar is devoted to selected formations of knowledge in relation to literature from classical antiquity to the present. Second, the focus shall rest on the production of persistent stereotypes in various media formats such as novels or films while paying particular attention to the aspect of gender. The overall goal of the seminar is an understanding of science as a cultural practice. Requirements for participation: Shelley, Mary: Frankenstein. New York: Norton, 2012. Please pay attention to the exact publication dates. |

Content | The lecture deals with the relationship between the develpoment of film technology, film aesthetics, and society. Based on the nineteenth-century film's precursors such as the laterna magica, photography and kinetoscope, crucial stages of more than 120 years of film history are studied chronologically in terms of: How does the development of new media techniques reflect certain social changes and needs? What new forms of aesthetic expression are possible through such technical innovations as the introduction of sound film, color film or handheld camera? And to what extent do these new forms of aesthetic expression in turn reflect certain social sensitivities, ultimately the respective zeitgeist? Main topics of the lecture are: the technical euphoria of the 19th century, the early film, the German Expressionist film, the classic Hollywood cinema, the European postwar cinema, exploitation and underground cinema, New Hollywood, the blockbuster cinema, independent cinema up to current phenomena like the „cinema of dissolution“. On the one hand, the participants learn in-depth, detailed knowledge of the history, meaning and analysis of the medium film and thereby acquire media literacy. On the other hand, the participants should gain a deeper understanding of the real interdependencies of technologies in culture and society and their historical transformation processes through an interdisciplinary perspective on film (history of technology, media studies and social science). |

Images are negotiating concepts of the own, other and alien. Especially tv series like “Game of Thrones”, “Vikings”, or “The Walking Dead” and films like “Alien” or “Lord of the Rings” show clashes of cultures. Irrespective of their genre - fantasy, science fiction, or history - the moving images use always similar patterns to show and tell the own and the other. During the seminar we will deal with such concepts and concepts of culture and the specifics of film and series to watch and analyse selected examples from these perspectives. |

According to the FAZ in December 2015, the end of the world is booming. At all times, people have dealt with the imminent future scenario of ultimate horror - the collapse of their own world. Where does the idea of a final disaster come from? What's so fascinating about our own demise? During the seminar we will take a look at European cultural history, which is closely linked to mythological and religious prophecies about the end of the world. However, this question, or rather the question of survival in a post-apocalyptic world, has fortunately remained speculative to this day despite regular predictions. Since the end of the world has not yet happened in reality, we are therefore dependent on the imagination of writers, screenwriters and directors who have anticipated the event in an infinite number of texts, films and series. Based on selected films and texts, the seminar will focus on the questions of which apocalyptic scenarios are developed, with which problems the survivors are confronted and how they deal with the situation and with each other. The focus is on the reactions of people in a state of extreme threat. Which survival strategies are presented to us, how do we assess the behaviour of the actors, can we create alternatives? Furthermore, the effect of the genre on the recipient will be discussed. Do we dismiss films like Armaggedon and The Day After Tomorrow as entertaining thrills? Do we just enjoy the special effects? Do we feel threatened? Do we take them in the end as real instructions for action? Do they make us reflect? Or are even current social discourses reflected in the garment of the apocalypse? |

The course gives an introduction to the development of digitization in a media cultural perspective. In addition to technical aspects, we will focus on the cultural impact of digitization for current media users and the ermergence und development of media subcultures from the late 1970s to the 21st century. On the one hand, we will deal with questions such as: What is digitization? What is culture? What are digital (sub)cultures? In this context, the concept of ‚digital natives‘ and ‚digital immigrants‘, coined by Marc Prensky, will also be discussed. On the other hand, there will be a historical perspective on topics and developments such as the mediatization oft he children’s room in the early 1980s, the hacker scene, video game culture, the demo scene, digital culture in cinema, 8-bit culture, digital aesthetics , net art, post-digitality and ultimately the question of how digital subcultures have become part of the media mainstream at the beginning of the 21st century. |

Digitalization is having a major impact on many areas of our lives and the use of digital technologies in art and design has increased rapidly. After all, art is not only subject to constant change, but also constantly adapts to technical conditions. After the photographic art of the mid-19th century and the video art of the 1960s, which already brought about major changes in artistic creation, digital art is becoming increasingly important in the field of media art. The first attempts to use the computer with corresponding graphic software as an artistic medium took place in the 80/90s of the 20th century. Since then, there has been a broad development in the field of digital art, which now encompasses the most diverse digital pictorial phenomena and art genres and is thus intertwined in its objects, theories and practices with digital media in a variety of ways. The seminar gives an overview of the history of digital art and its different genres. These include, for example, photopaintings, where digital manipulation, filtering processes and painting can process the image and transform it over many stages into a completely new form. Also 3-D images, vector graphics, mathematical art and computer art in general. At the same time, the digital development in art is to be illuminated, from the first beginnings on the computer with comparatively simple "digital aids", e.g. in the form of simple image processing programs, to the present sophisticated graphic tools. In addition, the presentation, dissemination and conservation possibilities of digital art will also be discussed, which can be disseminated very well on the Internet primarily because it can be displayed on a computer screen. The great fascination with digital creative work and the almost inexhaustible possibilities offered by the medium of computers to artists, who will continue to ensure that digital art finds a permanent place alongside traditional media, will also be discussed. Finally, in contrast to the traditional production methods in the field of fine arts and design, there are always new manifestations of digital art, which ultimately give not only the "trained" artist but also the layman far-reaching possibilities for artistic expression. And all this in the spirit of the performance artist Joseph Beuys , who postulated, every human being is capable of creativity, indeed "every human being is an artist". The seminar will also discuss the question of how digital art can be described as "the" contemporary art, i.e. contemporary art in the age of digital technology. Furthermore, it is of great interest to what extent the perception of art per se has already changed and will continue to change in a digitalized society. |

Since the end of the 1980’s or the beginning of the 1990’s, in the Sociology of Technology a line of research has emerged which initially called for a socialization of the sociology of technology (especially through the Social Construction of Technology Approach [SCOT]) and right away called for its re-materialisation (especially through Bruno Latour and the Actor-Network Theory). Technologies, thus their basic idea, are always intertwined with society and shaped by their socio-cultural context. In reverse, society is also inherently formed by the existing technologies and an adequate sociology of technology has to deal especially with the interaction of both. In the seminar at hand first of all an overview shall be given about the classical sociology of technology which routinely used argumentations inspired by technological determinism, which shall be followed by the presentation of the SCOT-approach. The later in turn was criticised by the Actor-Network Theory (which will be presented in a separate section as well) as being social deterministic which has led to a rather heated debate about the agency of technological artefacts, which shall be presented and discussed in a further part of the seminar. In the last section of the class it shall be determined what kind of relevance the sociological analysis of technological artefacts and their societal embedding can or could implicate for the own lifeworld of the students - especially of course with special focus on their engineer studies. |

The seminar discusses concepts of ‘the refugee’ in the history of ‘Western’ political ideas over a period of about 2,750 years. We will try to understand these concepts as historically distinct. We will also analyze the powerful effect of related stereotypes and images. We will read and contextualize philosophical, sociological, juridical, literary and political texts. In the second part of the seminar we will use the patterns we found to understand actual discourses on flight and migration. One aim is also to recognize alternative representations in the articulations and practices of the refugees themselves. |

„Words can build bridges or create rafts“ - this is also true for the scientific and business world. For example, how do I react if I get attacked in a professional debate by an opponent or by a colleague in my team, or if a fight arises during the planning of a project? In a challenging situation, what will help me to communicate respectfully and with appreciation? How can I express criticism or irritation honestly, directly and without reproach? Nonviolent Communication is a concept developped by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D., intended to help create an appreciative attitude towards oneself and others, and to live by it. Nonviolent Communication opens paths to express oneself in a mindful and responsible way, so that a bridge can be built even in challenging situations of conflict. Effective and satisfactory cooperation is only possible with well functioning communication between all parties involved, otherwise things will become difficult and inefficient. By working with their own examples and anticipating questions that might arise in their future professional lives, the students of Engineering Sciences will be able to reflect their own communicative behavior and learn ways of cooperation and conjoint solution finding. This course will impart the essential competencies of communication necesary for that. |

This course covers theory and practice of being a student teaching assistant in small-group instructional settings at TUHH. As part of the seminar, the participants have the opportunity to reflect on their work, e. g. through mutual observation and discussion. For prior knowledge / the event requirements: This event requires basic first work / collaboration experiences in the academic work structures of a higher education institution, which Master's students have acquired as part of the qualification for the Bachelor's degree at a university. These presumed work experiences include specific self-study experiences at a college. These are picked up, reflected, expanded and further developed both theoretically and practically with regard to learning from and in groups and later guiding this learning process. Furthermore, experiences with different types of learning / group types of higher education, which are part of a degree program acquired during the bachelor's program, are assumed, taken up, reflected on, expanded and further developed here in the master's program. The course also requires basic knowledge of presenting scholarly work results obtained by Master's students with a Bachelor's degree. In the course, this experience with and in representation in a group situation will be expanded and further developed in the direction of students' involvement with their own role as well as their design in face-to-face interaction as well as in group processes, learning and leadership situations, as masters graduates Graduate unlike bachelor graduates professionally stronger in a moderating role and with the guidance of humans because with the guidance in subject matters are demanded. According to the later professional role, the work of the seminar promotes and enables graduate students significantly more than graduates' qualifications for independent work and learning, transferring what they have learned to new areas, contributing, involving discussion and contributing their own examples and interests. |

As young professionals with technical background you may often tend to focus on communicating numbers and statistics in your presentations. However, facts are only one aspect of convincing others. Often, your personality, personal experience, cultural background and emotions are more important. You have to convince as a person in order to get your content across. In this workshop you will learn how to increase and express your cultural competence. You will apply cultural knowledge and images in order to positively influence communicative situations. You will learn how to add character and interest to your talks, papers and publications by referring to your own and European Cultural background. You will find out the basics of communicating professionally and convincingly by showing personality and by referring to your own cultural knowledge. You will get hands-on experience both in preparing and in conducting such communicative situations. This course is not focussing on delivering new knowledge about European culture but helps you using existing knowledge or such that you can gain e.g. in other Humanities courses. Content

This course is for master students. In this seminar, we will explore different theories, models and methods from the fields of communication, psychology and cultural theory. The participants will work on theoretical content and do group presentations. They will also use examples from their own experiences to apply models and methods in practical exercises. The way we communicate shapes the way we experience our relationships, in the business world as well as in our private lives. We spend an overwhelming amount of time in group situations. This makes it worthwhile to explore how communication works within the group context and how, within these different groups, different cultures of communication develop. This particularly applies in highly specialized fields, such as engineering. Our ability to flexibly and successfully move from one context to another helps us along in building successful careers and allows us to feel positive about our private lives. However, this is not always simple. For example: If we are part of a context in which many conflicts arise If we have to switch between different contexts frequently Or if, on the one hand, complicated facts and data are our main focus but on the other hand, we have to communicate them to people who are not familiar with the subject. Maybe we even have to win their attention in order to help along our causes. Oftentimes, this leads to misunderstandings. There also might be a lack of openness or willingness to embrace conflict. This might make it difficult for us to reach our goals. To be able to reflect on the way we communicate, to identify patterns of communication and the ability to actively build positive relationships through communication are useful skills to help overcome those obstacles.. |

The seminar LITERATURE AND CULTURE investigates what culture is, especially what characterises epistemic cultures. Culture is to be understood as the creative response to a given situation and the capacity to integrate inputs and influences, therefore as an ongoing process of permanent readjustment and learning, and by no means as a fixed identity in terms of an “essence”. There is a growing awareness that Europe cannot lay claim to possess the ultimate standards of knowledge. A topography of our contemporary world is to be sketched by highlighting its historical and cultural premises. For more information please refer to the German description and the StudIP. |

Scientists and engineers neither just strive for truths and scientific laws, nor are they working in a space far from politics. Science and engineering have contributed to what we now call the Anthropocene, the first time in the history of mankind when essential cycles of the earth system, e.g. carbon cycle, climate system, are heavily influenced or even shattered. Furthermore, Peak oil is indicating the end of cheap fossil energy thus triggering the search for alternatives such as biomass. Systems of knowledge, science and technology in the OECD countries have since roughly 30 years increasingly become divided. On the one hand new technologies such as modern biotechnology, IT or nanotechnology are developing rapidly, bringing about many innovations for industry, agriculture, and consumers. On the other hand scientific studies from earth, environmental, climate change, agricultural and social sciences deliver increasingly robust evidence on more or less severe impacts on society, environment, global equity, and economy resulting from innovations during the last 50 years. Technological innovation thus is no longer an uncontested concept. And many protest movements demonstrate that the introduction of new or the enlargement of existing technologies (e.g. airports, railway stations, highways, high-voltage power lines surveillance) isn’t at all a matter of course. It is important to bear in mind the fact that all processes of technological innovation are made by humans, individually and collectively. Industrial, social, and political organizations as actors from the local to global level of communication, deliberation, and decision making interact in diverse arenas, struggling to promote their respective corporate and/or political agenda. So innovations are as well a problem of technology as a problem of politics. Innovation and technology policies aren’t the same in all countries. We can observe conceptual and practical variations. Since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Agenda 21 constitutes a normative umbrella, indicating Sustainable Development (SD) as core cluster of earth politics on all levels from local to global. Meanwhile other documents such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) have complemented the SD agenda. SD can be interpreted as operationalization of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations and since amended many times. Engineers and scientists as professionals can’t avoid to become confronted with many non-technical and non-disciplinary items, challenges, and dilemmas. So they have to choose between alternative options for action, as individuals and as members of organizations or employees. Therefore the seminar will address core elements of the complex interrelations between science, society and politics. Reflections on experiences of participants - e.g. from other countries as Germany - during the seminar are very welcome. The goals of the seminar include:
The seminar will deal with current problems from areas such as innovation policy, energy, food systems, and raw materials. Issues will include the future of energy, food security and electronics. Historical issues will also be addressed. The seminar will start with a profound overarching introduction. Issues will be introduced by a short presentation and a Q & A session, followed by group work on selected problems. All participants will have to prepare a presentation during the weekend seminar. The seminar will use inter alia interactive tools of teaching such as focus groups, simulations and presentations by students. Regular and active participation is required at all stages. |

Scientists often like to believe that their work is non-political. Within this seminar we want to demonstrate how deeply both are interconnected and converged. Not only, scientific guidance is often needed to take a political decision but also scientific outcomes are a sub-ject to political interpretation. Also, politics are significantly influencing scientific progress by framing research agendas and by funding decisions. During this seminar we would like to show the different range of influences - scientific, economic, social, environmental, ethical/normative, security-related - affecting decision-making on science and politics. Using case studies on current debates on food security, public health, nuclear energy and terrorism to discuss the interrelation between science and politics illuminating the role of various actors in this process, such as: • Governments, • International organizations, • Scientific associations, • Industry, • Civil society, and • Individual scientists. The guiding questions will be: • How does and should science influence politics? • How does and should politics influence science? In order to take responsibility for the consequences of scientific work, engineers and scientists increasingly need to acknowledge the political dimension of their work and their role in the political process. We will address this political dimension of scientific work by discussing: • Biographies and motivations of famous scientists, • Individual responsibility of scientists for the implications of their work, and • The role of codes of conduct as guidelines for responsible behaviour. The goals of the seminar include: • Raising awareness and increasing knowledge about the political dimensions of scientific work, • Providing guidelines for evaluating political implications of scientific research, • Improving the understanding of scientists’ and engineers’ responsibility for the results of their professional activities, • Taking decisions at the institutional, national and international level about rules and regulations concerning scientific conduct, and • Choosing arguments and defending positions in situations of conflicting interests. The seminar will use current issues, such as dilemmas in the life sciences or bio fuels to demonstrate the problematic relationship between science and politics. The seminar, however, does not focus on providing in-depth knowledge of these current issues. We strongly discourage students that have participated in an “Ethics for Engineers” seminar to take this course, because the contents of the two seminars overlap. Issues will be introduced by short presentations and a Q&A session, followed by group work on selected problems. All participants will have to prepare a presentation. Those requiring a graded certificate (“Schein”) additionally have to write a 3-4 page paper on selected issues. The seminar will use interactive tools of teaching such as role playing and simulations. Group work and active participation is expected at all stages of the seminar. |

In this seminar the reasons of and the consequences for the dramatic changes regarding our information habits will be analyzed and discussed: Taking a close look at the Middle East the political impact of the new media´s triumphal procession will be assessed and evaluated. How come that Twitter and Facebook on one hand facilitated the so called Arabic Spring and caused hope for the rise of democracy in the region, while on the other hand the revolutionaries failed so dramatically - at least for now. Keeping a close eye on both fields, the Media and the Middle East, the seminar will discuss the standards of ethics in politics and journalism. |

Content |
Over the centuries, the philosophy is lined up as a discipline that provides complex and universal answers to contemporary history and circumstances. Often, she could design utopias that have led the way for political upheaval. While all scientific disciplines are subject to an increasing differentiation, the philosophy in the second half of the 20th century has lost its claim to universality. But what then are the topics of the philosophy of the 20th and 21st century and what impact have philosophical theories for processes of change? We will provide an overview of Western philosophies of the 20th and 21st century. and take a critical look at the self-understanding of philosophy. |

Content |
Lying press - there is a revival of the disparaging invective. Journalists use to shoot it down by leading it back to its supposed roots in the NS-propaganda. This is less convincing as several parties and ideologies have used it since the middle of the 19th century to discredit the media of other parties and ideologies. And it is missing the core of the problem. Critics are reasonably afraid that the choice of “lying press” to the “non-word of the year” 2014 has blocked the question, if there is a justified criticism of information media and journalism - or more precisely of the relationship between journalism and its audience. If this is the case both - journalism and audience - are involved from the perspective of inter actionism. Against this background interactive instructions will be given by scholarly literature and practical examples from the German and international media business. Questions like the following will be discussed:
Objective is solid learning about professional tasks, ethics, techniques, endagerments, history and current problems of journalism including science journalism. |

Content |
The lecture deals with technical principles and related concepts of mobile communications. In this context, the main focus is put on the physical and data link layer of the ISO-OSI stack. In the lecture, the transmission medium, i.e., the mobile radio channel, serves as the starting point of all considerations. The characteristics and the mathematical descriptions of the radio channel are discussed in detail. Subsequently, various physical layer aspects of wireless transmission are covered, such as channel coding, modulation/demodulation, channel estimation, synchronization, and equalization. Moreover, the different uses of multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver, known as MIMO techniques, are described. Besides these physical layer topics, concepts of multiple access schemes in a cellular network are outlined. In order to illustrate the above-mentioned technical solutions, the lecture will also provide a system view, highlighting the basics of some contemporary wireless systems, including UMTS/HSPA, LTE, LTE Advanced, and WiMAX. |

Recommended Previous Knowledge |
Successful completion of the practical FPGA lab of module "Computer Architecture" is a mandatory prerequisite. |
Educational Objectives | After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results |
Professional Competence | |
Knowledge |
This module provides in-depth, hands-on experience on advanced concepts of computer architecture. Using the Hardware Description Language VHDL and using reconfigurable FPGA hardware boards, students learn how to design complex computer systems (so-called systems-on-chip, SoCs), that are commonly found in the domain of embedded systems, in actual hardware. Starting with a simple processor architecture, the students learn to how realize instruction-processing of a computer processor according to the principle of pipelining. They implement different styles of cache-based memory hierarchies, examine strategies for dynamic scheduling of machine instructions and for branch prediction, and finally construct a complex MPSoC system (multi-processor system-on-chip) that consists of multiple processor cores that are connected via a shared bus. |
Skills |
Students will be able to analyze, how highly specific and individual computer systems can be constructed using a library of given standard components. They evaluate the interferences between the physical structure of a computer system and the software executed thereon. This way, they will be enabled to estimate the effects of design decision at the hardware level on the performance of the entire system, to evaluate the whole and complex system and to propose design options to improve a system. |

Knowledge |
Students are able to explain the fundamental principles, inter-dependencies, and methods of signal and power integrity of electronic systems. They are able to relate signal and power integrity to the context of interference-free design of such systems, i.e. their electromagnetic compatibility. They are capable of explaining the basic behavior of signals and power supply in typical packages and interconnects. They are able to propose and describe problem solving strategies for signal and power integrity issues. They are capable of giving an overview over measurement and simulation methods for characterization of signal and power integrity in electrical engineering practice. |
||||||||
Skills |
Students are able to apply a series of modeling methods for characterization of electromagnetic field behavior in packages and interconnect structure of electronic systems. They are able to determine the most important effects that these models are predicting in terms of signal and power integrity. They can classify these effects and they can quantitatively analyze them. They are capable of deriving problem solving strategies from these predictions and they can adapt them to applications in electrical engineering practice. The can evaluate their problem solving strategies against each other. |
