Skills to be acquired in this module

The students learn to consider human needs right from the beginning in the design process of Human Cyber Physical Energy Systems. A human- centered design is at the core as an approach to interactive systems development that aims to make systems usable and useful by focusing on the users; and to develop systems that are aware of (NOT rationally acting) humans when making decision.
Professional competences
The students

  • recognise the energy system as a human cyber physical system with a steadily growing degree of autonomy
  • identify the potential for conflict that arises when humans interact with cyber physical systems
  • model human-system-interaction
  • recognise, evaluate and contrast approaches to self-explaining AI

Methological competences
The students

  • examine tasks with technical and research literature, write an academic article and present their solutions academically
  • evaluate problems of socio-technical energy system
  • schedule time processes and resources

Social competences
The students

  • communicate with colleagues and experts convincingly

Self competences
The students

  • pursue the integration of humans and human behaviour into cyber physical energy systems critically
  • develop and reflect self-developed hypotheses to theories independently
Module contents
  • Simulation (and prediction) of human behaviour and decisions
  • Modeling user behaviour in human cyber physical systems
  • Self-explaining and justifying AI
