Applied Computer Science and Industry 4.0

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Applied Computer Science and Industry 4.0
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Industrial Engineering / Production Management, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2022
Module code: DBWI-310
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P740-0028, P740-0029
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
-
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
7
Academic Year: 2
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
2 graded exams:
 
- Exam 1 (Applied Computer Science: Duration 90 min., 100 pts.)
  This exam is written in the 5th semester (Block 5A) according to the exam schedule.
 
- Exam 2 (Industry 4.0: Duration 90 min., 100 pts.)
  This exam is written in the 6th semester (Block 6A) according to the exam schedule.
 
The reason for dividing the examination into two parts, one of which is written in Block 5A (5th semester) and the other in Block 6A (6th semester), is to distribute the workload evenly.
 
The module grade is calculated as follows:                 
43% of the points in Exam 1 “Applied Computer Science”        
57% of the points in Exam 2 “Industry 4.0”

Learning outcomes:
Applied Computer Science:
Basic concepts of computer science will be taught and applied to simple problems. Students therefore receive an introduction to programming in this module. After successfully completing this module, they will understand the term "algorithm" and be familiar, for example, with algorithms for searching and sorting data. They will be familiar with different data structures. They will be able to implement algorithms for simple problems. Students will be aware of the increasing importance of computer science for engineering disciplines.
 
Industry 4.0:
In the future, the influence of digitalization will cause profound changes in the world of work in industry and commerce. In the "Industry 4.0" sub-module, students will become familiar with the factors that influence future processes in industry and what challenges they may face. Students will be able to identify and describe the differences between business processes that are already automated today and a fully networked "smart factory" as envisaged by Industry 4.0 in the future. They will be familiar with so-called cyber-physical systems and understand how structured, semi-structured and unstructured data can be processed in large quantities ("Big Data"). They are familiar with the basics of artificial intelligence and can recognize its practical potential in future business areas.
 
The "Applied Computer Science and Industry 4.0" module will increase and strengthen students’ professional competence.
