winter and summer term

1 semester

The scientific project offers the students the opportunity to independently work on the theoretical knowledge acquired during their studies as well as the practical skills in a more complex task in their field on a scientific basis under the guidance of a teacher. The project is ideally integrated into a current research project of the university or a cooperating company.

1. Requirements / needs analysis
2. Research and evaluation of comparable scientific approaches
3. Development and documentation of the solution concept
4. Technical implementation
5. Representing solution

The total workload for the module is 450 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

General project management skills.

Students expand their knowledge and understanding beyond the bachelor's level by delving deeply into the theories, methods and technologies of a specific area of computer science. They learn about the special features, limitations and terminology of their field and interpret these critically.

The knowledge and understanding of the students forms the basis for the development and application of independent ideas. They acquire a broad, detailed and critical understanding of the latest state of knowledge in one or more specialised areas of computer science.

Students weigh up technical and epistemological accuracy, taking scientific and methodological considerations into account, and are able to solve practical and scientific problems.

Students integrate existing and new knowledge in complex contexts, even on the basis of limited information. They make scientifically sound decisions and critically reflect on possible consequences. In addition, they independently acquire new knowledge and skills and carry out application-oriented projects largely in a self-directed or autonomous manner.

Students develop research questions, select specific ways of operationalising research and justify their choices. They select research methods and critically explain and interpret research results.

Students engage in factual and subject-specific discussions with representatives from various academic and non-academic fields of activity about alternative, theoretically sound solutions to problems. They involve participants in tasks in a goal-oriented manner, taking into account the respective group situation, recognise potential conflicts in cooperation and reflect on these against the background of cross-situational conditions. Through constructive, conceptual action, they ensure that solution processes appropriate to the situation are implemented.

Students develop a professional self-image that is oriented towards the goals and standards of professional conduct both in academia and in professional fields outside academia. They justify their own professional conduct with theoretical and methodological knowledge and reflect on it in terms of alternative approaches. They assess their own abilities, make autonomous use of relevant creative and decision-making freedoms, and develop these further under guidance. They recognise the framework conditions of professional conduct in a manner appropriate to the situation and across situations, and reflect on decisions in terms of ethical responsibility. In addition, they critically reflect on their professional conduct in relation to social expectations and consequences and further develop their professional conduct.
