Skills to be acquired in this module |
Participants primarily acquire specialized knowledge, skills, and competencies in the area of the assigned topic. Due to the size and complexity of the topics and their team-based approach, participants develop key competencies such as project management, teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and conflict resolution. For topics focused on software development, skills and knowledge in software engineering are also conveyed. Subject Competencies The students: - recognize and evaluate the techniques and methods applicable in their specialty and their limitations
- design solutions for complex, possibly poorly defined, or unusual tasks in the field of computer science and evaluate such designs according to the state of the art
- identify, structure, and solve problems even in new or emerging areas of their discipline
- apply state-of-the-art and innovative methods to investigate and solve problems, possibly drawing on other disciplines
- relate knowledge from different disciplines and apply these synergies in complex situations
- develop complex computer systems, processes, and data models
- evaluate and validate developed approaches and methods through empirical or theoretical analyses
- recognize the limits of current knowledge and technology and contribute to the further scientific and technological development of computer science
- discuss current developments in computer science and assess their significance
- formulate scientific hypotheses and conduct theoretical and practical investigations to validate them
- document and present research results according to scientific standards
Method Competencies The students: - find and design one or more approaches to solutions
- evaluate tools, technologies, and methods and apply them in a differentiated manner
- investigate problems using technical and scientific literature
- plan timelines and other resources
- apply project management techniques
- creatively develop new and original approaches and methods
- conduct systematic and thorough literature searches to determine the current state of research
- use scientific databases and other resources to support their research
- validate developed methods and models through theoretical or practical tests
- write articles according to scientific principles and present their results in scientific lectures
Social Competencies The students: - integrate criticism into their own actions
- respect the decisions made in the team
- communicate convincingly orally and in writing with users and professionals
- identify sub-tasks and take responsibility for them
- work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, respecting different professional perspectives
- discuss and defend their research results in scientific discussions and forums
Self-Competencies The students: - take on leadership roles in the team
- critically follow further developments in computer science in general and in their specialty
- carry out innovative activities in their field successfully and independently
- recognize the limits of their competence and expand them in a targeted manner
- reflect on their self-image and actions from professional, methodological, and social perspectives
- develop and reflect on their own theories based on independently formulated hypotheses
- work independently in their field
- show initiative and self-discipline in pursuing scientific questions
- plan and structure research work independently and efficiently
