Module M0577: Nontechnical Complementary Courses for Bachelors

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)

Lecture Prozedurale Programmierung or equivalent proficiency in imperative programming

Mandatory prerequisite for this lecture is proficiency in imperative programming (C, Pascal, Fortran or similar). You should be familiar with simple data types (integer, double, char), arrays, if-then-else, for, while, procedure calls or function calls, pointers, and you should have used all those in your own programs and therefore should be proficient with editor, compiler, linker and debugger. In this lecture we will immediately start with the introduction of objects and we will not repeat the basics mentioned above.

This remark is especially important for AIW, GES, LUM because those prerequisites are not part of the curriculum. They are prerequisites for the start of those curricula in general. The programs ET, CI and IIW include those prerequisites in the first semester in the lecture Prozedurale Programmierung.

In the management tutorial, the contents of the lecture will be deepened by practical examples and the application of the discussed tools.

If there is adequate demand, a problem-oriented tutorial will be offered in parallel, which students can choose alternatively. Here, students work in groups on self-selected projects that focus on the elaboration of an innovative business idea from the point of view of an established company or a startup. Again, the business knowledge from the lecture should come to practical use. The group projects are guided by a mentor.

Content

Systems Theory treats the mathematical background and foundations of the engineering discipline 'Cybernetics'. Thereby one wants to exert influence on a dynamical system (which is usually given by an ordinary differential equation (ODE)), such that a desired behavior is achieved.
For instance, in classical mechanics, the motion of a mass point is determined by acting forces. In 'Systems and Control Theory', one wonders how these forces have to be chosen such that a prescribed movement of the mass point is accomplished.

  • Introduction and motivation  
  • Controllability
  • Stabilization by feedback  
  • Obervability  
  • Observer and controller design  
  • Linear-quadratic optimal control

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

Students can explain the general architecture of an application system that is based on a database. They describe the syntax and semantics of the Entity Relationship conceptual modeling languages, and they can enumerate basic decision problems and know which features of a domain model can be captured with ER and which features cannot be represented. Furthermore, students can summarize the features of the relational data model, and can describe how ER models can be systematically transformed into the relational data model. Student are able to discuss dependency theory using the operators of relational algebra, and they know how to use relational algebra as a query language. In addition, they can sketch the main modules of the architecture of a database system from an implementation point of view. Storage and index structures as well as query answering and optimization techniques can be explained. The role of transactions can be described in terms of ACID conditions and common recovery mechanisms can be characterized. The students can recall why recursion is important for query languages and describe how Datalog can be used and implemented.They demonstrate how Datalog can be used for information integration. For solving ER decision problems the students can explain description logics with their syntax and semantics, they describe description logic decision problems and explain how these problems can be mapped onto each other. They can sketch the idea of ontology-based data access and can name the main complexity measure in database theory. Last but not least, the students can describe the main features of XML and can explain XPath and XQuery as query languages.

Skills

Students can apply ER for describing domains for which they receive a textual description, and students can transform relational schemata with a given set of functional dependencies into third normal form or even Boyce-Codd normal form. They can also apply relational algebra, SQL, or Datalog to specify queries. Using specific datasets, they can explain how index structures work (e.g., B-trees) and how index structures change while data is added or deleted. They can rewrite queries for better performance of query evaluation. Students can analyse which query language expressivity is required for which application problem. Description logics can be applied for domain modeling, and students can transform ER diagrams into description logics in order to check for consistency and implicit subsumption relations.  They solve data integration problems using Datalog and LAV or GAV rules. Students can apply XPath and Xquery to retrieve certain patterns in XML data.

Personal Competence
Social Competence Students develop an understanding of social structures in a company used for developing real-world products. They know the responsibilities of data analysts, programmers, and managers in the overall production process.

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.

The students solve these problems based on the lecture material either independently or in small groups. The solution is discussed with the students under scientific supervision and parts of the solutions are presented on the chalk board. At the end of each exercise-lecture, the correct solution is presented on the chalk board. Parallel to the exercise-lecture tutorials are held where the student solve exam questions under a set time-frame in small groups and discuss the solutions afterwards.
