Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

KIB-INF1 (P222-0016) Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2021 , semester 1, mandatory course
KIB-INF1 (P222-0016) Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2022 , semester 1, mandatory course
PRI-INF1 (P222-0016) Production Informatics, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2023 , semester 1, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
KIB-INF2 Informatics 2
KIB-RN Computer Networks
KIB-SDSA Simulation of Discrete Systems with AnyLogic

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to use the basic concepts of algorithms and data structures in a targeted manner.
They will understand the representation of data in a computer and can use it in data structures to solve problems. Through the use of a Random Access Machine machine model they will gain become acquainted with the basic operations a computer can perform. They will be able to accurately express problems and analyze simple algorithmic problems to develop solutions. They will be able to asymptotically estimate the effort required for the solution.
  
The related techniques will be learned and intensified in theoretical training sessions by means of independent work.
