IT project:
Lecture: Stages of software development
In an IT project (hardware and software) today, the software is the main time and cost factor. It must meet increased quality criteria because it is practically no longer possible for developers to intervene during use. This means that the development of software today must be organized in an engineering manner, compared to the more "artistic-creative" program development of the early years. This realization has given rise to the discipline of software engineering. The lecture conveys important aspects of current software technology (software engineering): Life cycle models, requirements analysis, object-oriented design, quality assurance, testing and verification, modularization.

The field of asset management deals with the topic of asset management, whereby asset management refers to the management of assets in companies. Assets include all (tangible) fixed assets (e.g. machines, industrial plants, infrastructure facilities and buildings) and areas of current assets (e.g. spare parts management). The focus of this lecture is from the perspective of a network operator. Infrastructure (assets) such as transformers, cables and overhead lines are considered.
Listeners should be able to evaluate the fields of activity of asset management, such as the planning and new construction of plants, maintenance, conversion, expansion and modification and the decommissioning of plants from different perspectives. In particular, the aim is to familiarize the listener with this with regard to the evaluation of planning in the technical environment with a view to the whole and in the sense of opportunity and risk-oriented planning.

'- Knowledge of the basic concepts and classifications of simulations
- Knowledge of the procedure for simulation studies
- Overview of the different types of simulation methods and their differentiation
- Evaluate the applicability of simulation methods for the respective task

The lecture Building Simulation introduces the methods of simulation technology. The thematic focus is on the investigation of energy-related issues in buildings. Particular emphasis is placed on the structured approach to simulation tasks. Based on a classification of simulation types, the procedure for selecting and creating suitable simulation models, carrying out simulations and evaluating the results are discussed. Different types of simulation methods are presented. These cover in particular the area of computer-aided tools. Insights are given into the mathematical modeling of the simulation tools. However, neither the lecture nor the exercise will deal with the programming implementation of the models (programming knowledge is therefore not necessary). The aim is rather to learn a structured approach to simulation and, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the various tools, to select the most suitable one for the specific task and to be able to interpret its results correctly. Using the example of the heat balance of buildings, the procedure as well as the evaluation and interpretation of the results are deepened in the context of lectures and accompanying exercises on the computer.

The lecture provides an overview of terms, fundamentals and various methods of building simulation. In the exercises, these basic concepts are first deepened. Subsequently, based on an example building, calculations of the energy demand are carried out and compared using various methods (analytical calculation, static simulation, dynamic simulation).

The "practical work experience" is intended to introduce students to professional activity through concrete, practice-oriented tasks or practical work in companies
or other institutions of professional practice.
In particular, it should serve to apply and reflect on the knowledge and skills acquired during previous studies by working on a specific task.

The "operational practice" is the independent processing of a project with demonstrable practical relevance.
The description, explanation and presentation of the solution worked on are part of the module and already serve as preparation for the Bachelor's thesis.
The task comes from one of the subject areas available in the study program.
Students are supported by a mentor from the university while working on the project.

The practical semester is intended to introduce students to the professional activities of an engineer through specific tasks and engineering-related work in companies, businesses or other institutions in the professional field. In particular, it should serve to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course and to reflect on and evaluate the experience gained during the practical work.

The module aims to train and consolidate students' decision-making skills by:
- Expanding application-related knowledge using practical examples;
- Creation of in-service documentation;
- Deepening presentation techniques.

In the practical semester, the student is familiarized with engineering working methods through a task appropriate to their level of training. After an appropriate introduction, he or she should work on this task independently, alone or in a group, under professional guidance.

The following areas of activity may be considered in particular: project planning, planning, parameterization, service and counseling, design, development, production, manufacturing, testing, operation and support of infrastructure, power plant and grid operation, energy sales and trading, energy management, assembly, maintenance, business and time management, sales, information technology, IT, quality management, safety management and operational research.
The practical semester is usually completed in the sixth semester and covers a continuous period of at least 20 weeks.
In the engineering field of work, a challenging project from all areas of electrical engineering is used to teach the approach and problem-solving strategies of an engineer when solving tasks. Students can thus gain insight into the connections between practical training and studies and link the newly acquired knowledge with the course content.

In a written report and a presentation followed by a discussion, each student presents themselves, the practical placement and their work. The preparation of this presentation trains the ability to give written and oral reports and to evaluate and delineate tasks and results. In addition to their own presentation, students must listen to a set number of presentations by fellow students as part of the practical seminar. This also provides insights into other fields of activity and broadens the horizon of experience beyond their own practical semester.
