Program description

Content

The Bachelor-program General Engineering Science (GES) starts with a broad, for all students binding fundamental engineering curricula. With begin of the 3rd Semester students have to choose one of the 9 fields of study (civil engineering, biotechnology, electrical engineering, energy- and environmental engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, medical engineering, naval engineering, process engineering), some of them with further specialisations. GES has with 210 credit points a higher workload compared to other Bachelor study courses. Therefore General Engineering Science is designed for 7 semesters.


Career prospects

The graduates of the Bachelor program General Engineering Science are directly able to enter a career in the field of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, process engineering or computer science engineering and work responsibly as engineer. They are entitled to use the professional title Ingenieurin or Ingenieur  (Engineer) pursuant to the Engineers Acts (Ingenieurgesetzen) of the states in Germany. 

Possible employers include companies in mechanical, civil, process, electrical and computer science engineering as well as engineering firms.

The Bachelor degree in one of the fields of study enables a consecutive study of one of the corresponding Master studies, of  another technical or of an economic oriented Master study. Most of the modules in the 1st and the 2nd semester of GES are offered in English.

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

Content

The aim of the internship-accompanying seminar is the acquisition and consolidation of competences relevant for successfully doing the advanced internship in the 7th semester. The target group is students who already have found an internship placement. The focus is on strengthening personal competences to support the successful development of professional competences.

In the seminar, students reflect on current challenges in relation to the internship. They discuss current topics with fellow students and teachers with the method of collegial counselling (peer-to-peer approach); in this way they gain (additional) self-confidence and increase their chances of successfully contributing in the internship, recognising and expressing their own wishes and needs in order to optimally use the internship for their own theory-practice transfer.

The selection of topics is process-oriented and controlled by the group; the teachers provide impulses for reflection on certain topics. Topics that are dealt with are, for example: Negotiating the employment contract, Successful start into the internship - how do I behave in the first few days, How do I get interesting tasks, How do I deal with difficult situations (e.g. conflicts, sexism, racism), How do I note my progress/write the internship report?

Through the intensive exchange with fellow students, the students also gain insights into the internships of their peers. This gives them an impression of their professional opportunities far beyond their own internship.  The concrete application example of the advanced internship thus promotes the acquisition and consolidation of competences in career management skills that can be transferred to later career steps.

Content

The aim of the internship preparation (recommended in the 5th semester) is to acquire competences that are relevant for successfully searching for and doing the advanced internship in the 7th semester. Participation increases the students' chances of finding an internship of at least three months length and, if applicable, in English language, at the specified time. It also serves as a networking opportunity for the AIW/ES students. Participation in the 5th semester is recommended for a timely internship application.

The seminar focuses on the topics of internship search, application and transfer competence. The students reflect on their already existing competences, skills and interests and learn which different employers are available for the engineering profession and how to find them. They continue to reflect on which topics of their studies they would like to try out in practical transfer in activities (theory-practice transfer) and look for suitable employers (if necessary under guidance). Contact is made with companies and other employers in the Hamburg metropolitan region who are potential employers for TUHH graduates. The students are supported in creating an appealing CV and cover letter. They practise presenting themselves in a job interview and complete a mock interview.  They receive feedback from their fellow students and the teachers, gain self-confidence and increase their chances of finding an internship that is a good fit for them. 

The seminar strengthens the students' independence. The concrete application example of the advanced internship promotes the acquisition and consolidation of competences of career management skills, which can be transferred to later career steps. It also contributes to the interaction of theory and practice. Transfer in this context is "the successful application of previously acquired knowledge or skills in the context of a new requirement not yet apparent in the situation of knowledge or skill acquisition." Hasselhorn/Gold 2017

Specialization Bioprocess Engineering

Biotechnology provides the basics for sustainable manufacturing of products as food, feed, bioenergy, biopolymers and chemicals and for providing the human being wit medicines and other essential goods. It requires interdisciplinary application of natural (especially biology and chemistry) and engineering sciences. Many everyday products are manufactured by means of biotechnical production processes. Biotechnical material conversion is also used to utilize and minimize byproducts and residues in order to achieve sustainable production. Engineers with biotechnical expertise are needed to meet the growing global demand for the development and operation of biotechnical processes by which to manufacture essential everyday products. 

Graduates can explain phenomena that occur in bioprocess engineering and allied disciplines. They can outline the basic bioprocess engineering principles for interpreting, modeling, and simulating biological processes and chemical reactions, energy, material, and momentum transport processes, micro-, meso- and macro-scale separation processes, and for operating the plant required for these processes. They are able to describe the basics of measurement and control technology. They can take into consideration legal aspects that arise in connection with process engineering and production facilities.

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.

In the exercise-lecture the topics from the main lecture are discussed intensively and transferred into application. For that, the students receive example tasks for download. 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.

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.

The lecture on drinking water supply provides students with a basic understanding of the entire water supply system, encompassing water catchment, water treatment including pump systems, water storage, and the distribution system that carries water to the consumer.

Initially, basics in hydraulics and pump systems are presented (system curve and pump curve). Students learn how the duty point of the pump is determined.  Students learn about different water resources and will be able to design groundwater wells. Students learn how to determine water demand and derive planning values for designing the different elements of a water supply system (e.g. firefighting requirements). The functions of reservoirs, their design and arrangement in the water supply system are explained.  Students will be able to design simple water distribution systems.

A further part of the lecture deals with the processes involved in drinking water supply. This includes a presentation of the essential mechanisms and layout parameters for sedimentation, filtration, coagulation, membrane treatment, adsorption, water softening, gas exchange, ion exchange and disinfection. The basics of process treatment technology will be built on with parallel analysis of the impacts on chemical and physical water quality parameters.

This lecture addresses the mechanisms by which price formation works in global and national energy markets. For this purpose, the global price formation mechanism for crude oil and for natural gas and coal is explained. The national energy markets (e.g. power exchange, gas markets) are also discussed. The legal framework, which is ultimately decisive for market price formation, is always addressed. In this context, the various instruments with which the energy markets are to be influenced in such a way that climate protection already takes effect with market-based measures are also discussed. The expected future development/change of the energy markets against the background of the increasing use of renewable energies will also be addressed.

The students work on eight different experiments in this practical course. For every one of the eight experiments, a colloquium takes place in which the students explain and discuss the theoretical background and its translation into practice with staff and fellow students.

The students work small groups with a high degree of division of labor. For every experiment, the students write a report. They receive instructions in terms of scientific writing as well as feedback on their own reports and level of scientific writing so they can increase their capabilities in this area.

Topics of the practical course:

  • Introduction in the thermal process engineering and to the main features of separation processes
  • Simple equilibrium processes, several steps processes
  • Distillation of binary mixtures, enthalpy-concentration diagrams
  • Extractive and azeotrope distillation, water vapor distillation, stepwise distillation
  • Extraction: separation ternary systems, ternary diagram
  • Multiphase separation including complex mixtures
  • Designing of separation devices without discrete stages
  • Drying
  • Chromatographic separation processes
  • Membrane separation
  • Energy demand of separation processes
  • Advance overview of separation processes
  • Selection of separation processes

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.

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.

Professional Competence
Knowledge

Embedded systems can be defined as information processing systems embedded into enclosing products. This course teaches the foundations of such systems. In particular, it deals with an introduction into these systems (notions, common characteristics) and their specification languages (models of computation, hierarchical automata, specification of distributed systems, task graphs, specification of real-time applications, translations between different models).

Another part covers the hardware of embedded systems: Sonsors, A/D and D/A converters, real-time capable communication hardware, embedded processors, memories, energy dissipation, reconfigurable logic and actuators. The course also features an introduction into real-time operating systems, middleware and real-time scheduling. Finally, the implementation of embedded systems using hardware/software co-design (hardware/software partitioning, high-level transformations of specifications, energy-efficient realizations, compilers for embedded processors) is covered.

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.

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.

Lab Cyber-Physical Systems (L1740) Project-/problem-based Learning 4 6
Module Responsible Prof. Heiko Falk
Admission Requirements None
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.

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.

Module Responsible Prof. Michael Morlock
Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge

It is recommended to participate in "Implantate und Frakturheilung" before attending "Experimentelle Methoden".

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

The course deals with common experimental methods used in biomechanics. For each topic an overview and some basic practical knowledge is provided.

1. Tribology
2. Optical Methods
3. Motion Analysis
4. Pressure Distribution
5. Strain Gauges
6. Pre-clinical testing
7. Specimen Preparation and Storage


The students can describe the different ways how bones heal, and the requirements for their existence.

The students can name different treatments for the spine and hollow bones under given fracture morphologies.

The students can describe different measurement techniques for forces and movements, and choose the adequate technique for a given task.

Skills

The students can describe the basic handling of several experimental techniques used in biomechanics.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to organize themselves as a group to solve simple experimental tasks together. On the one hand, the division of tasks must be organized during the experiment as well as during the short written elaboration, but on the other hand, the knowledge acquired must be available to all participants of the group afterwards. The challenge here is that the topics change quickly because fundamentally different measurement principles are taught. In addition, a strict time management is expected.

Autonomy

Students perform simple experimental tasks in small groups or create simple sensors (e.g. strain gauges). The preceding lecture serves as a basis for these experiments. As preparation or follow-up, the theoretical knowledge has to be worked up and related to the experimental result. In particular, independent transfer performance is necessary to clarify why experimental observations can show deviations from the theoretical values and how these deviations can be compensated.

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

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.

Recommended Previous Knowledge Fundamentals of mathematics (differential equations, integration), materials science (classes of materials, structure, properties, tensile test) and engineering mechanics (stress, strain, elasticity, deformation).
Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The module deals with the production and properties of engineering materials. Particular attention is paid to material selection, material processing, the associated microstructure and the achievable mechanical properties. In conjunction with the costs, these are decisive for the applicability and economic efficiency. Metallic materials are in the foreground. Ceramics and polymers are also covered in the sense of a broad range of available materials.

In parallel to the material-technological consideration, the modeling of material behavior by means of phenomenological material laws for plasticity under monotonic and cyclic loading is worked out. In addition to the evaluation of component behavior, plasticity also plays a major role in manufacturing processes and thus provides the basis for process simulation. Process models and simulation methods for selected manufacturing processes, such as rolling or forming, are presented for this topic area.

Skills

Students are able to

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.

  • 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.

Specialization Biomedical Engineering

The requirements into the health system increase continuously due to the aging population and the increasing expectations for the quality in life. A major aspect in this development is medical technology. This ranges from individual implants and prostheses to complex imaging and therapy equipment and its operation. Medical specialists and well educated engineers will have to cooperate closer and closer to understand the requirements from either side and develop solutions together. In order to cooperate, the engineers need in addition to their core engineering skills, a basic understanding of the “other” fields, which are Medicine and Economy.  This enables them to understand operational planning as well as research and development in this highly interdisciplinary area. The program is aimed towards allowing the students to achieve these qualifications.

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.

Module Responsible Prof. Michael Morlock
Admission Requirements None
Recommended Previous Knowledge

It is recommended to participate in "Implantate und Frakturheilung" before attending "Experimentelle Methoden".

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

The course deals with common experimental methods used in biomechanics. For each topic an overview and some basic practical knowledge is provided.

1. Tribology
2. Optical Methods
3. Motion Analysis
4. Pressure Distribution
5. Strain Gauges
6. Pre-clinical testing
7. Specimen Preparation and Storage


The students can describe the different ways how bones heal, and the requirements for their existence.

The students can name different treatments for the spine and hollow bones under given fracture morphologies.

The students can describe different measurement techniques for forces and movements, and choose the adequate technique for a given task.

Skills

The students can describe the basic handling of several experimental techniques used in biomechanics.

Personal Competence
Social Competence

Students are able to organize themselves as a group to solve simple experimental tasks together. On the one hand, the division of tasks must be organized during the experiment as well as during the short written elaboration, but on the other hand, the knowledge acquired must be available to all participants of the group afterwards. The challenge here is that the topics change quickly because fundamentally different measurement principles are taught. In addition, a strict time management is expected.

Autonomy

Students perform simple experimental tasks in small groups or create simple sensors (e.g. strain gauges). The preceding lecture serves as a basis for these experiments. As preparation or follow-up, the theoretical knowledge has to be worked up and related to the experimental result. In particular, independent transfer performance is necessary to clarify why experimental observations can show deviations from the theoretical values and how these deviations can be compensated.

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

Specialization Process Engineering

Process engineering is the engineering discipline that conducts research into, develops, and realizes material change processes. It deals as a cross-sectional science with the conversion of materials in their nature, their properties, or their composition by means of physical, chemical, and biological processes with a view to producing usable intermediate or end products such as fuels, sugar, synthetics, proteins, cosmetics, dyestuffs, alcohols, plant protection products, or medications.

To achieve these targets, the process engineering study program aims to enable students to recognize and formulate laws by means of which apparatus, machinery, and entire manufacturing plants can be planned, calculated, designed, built, and operated. The product qualities required are to be achieved by means of safe and environmentally compatible processes and a rational use of energy and raw materials.

In the exercise-lecture the topics from the main lecture are discussed intensively and transferred into application. For that, the students receive example tasks for download. 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.
