Das Modul ¿Systems Development¿ vertieft die Kompetenzen in der Entwicklung von Softwaresystemen zur Unterstützung von Geschäftsprozessen. Gegenüber dem Modul ¿Systems Modelling¿ steht hier die selbständig Konzeption und Realisierung von Software-Lösungen für verteilte IT-Systeme im Mittelpunkt. Die Studierenden kennen hierzu die geeigneten Methoden und können die alternativen Möglichkeiten beurteilen, um damit im Gesamt-Umfeld IT-Systeme die geeigneten Entscheidungen bei der Planung, der Beschaffung bzw. der Implementierung dieser Systeme zu treffen.

Die Studierenden kennen die Lösungsansätze zur automatisierten und modellbasierten Entwicklung von Software-Lösungen. Zusammen mit dem Wissen aus den Modulen "Business Process Analysis und Implementation" können sie die Lösungen im Gesamt-Zusammenhang "Unternehmen" und "Geschäftsprozess" technisch und wirtschaftlich beurteilen und die geeigneten Lösungswege auswählen.

The content of this module is closely related to the unit projects that typically include the design of buildings, their sitting, their energy use, the choice of construction, materials and processes, as well as the quality of their internal environment and micro-climate with a focus on the issues of sustainability and the performance of the building envelope.

• Design of buildings, their sitting, their energy use, the choice of construction, materials and processes, as well as the quality of their internal environment and micro-climate focussing the issues of sustainability and the performance of the building envelope.
• Developpment of creative design skills integrating sustainable building technology.
• Guest lecturers and professors coming from an international context teaching alternating contents as compact projects, which complement the regular Projects Studios.
• Debate on current topics from practice, theory and research within the lecture series.

Studio delivered and project based, with students being tutored individually and in groups. This is supported by lectures that explain the principles that underlie sustainable design and provide the intellectual cultural and technological context for the study in achitecture.
Lectures, seminars.

The module Sustainable Design I seeks to establish the theoretical and professional frame to an integrated and specific architectural debate and project making within the concentration Sustainable Design.
The topics center on issues to develop critical positions towards subjective reasoning in the field of sustainable design and to further the ability to root these positions in the theory of building construction and technology, as well as in the political, sociological, and cultural context of contemporary architecture and society.

The compact projects are set to complement skills and knowledge acquired in the project studios and to broaden the horizon of the students.

The aim of the module is to provide students with the necessary architectural tools and intellectual instruments and avareness to integrate the knowledge aquired in the module Courses Sustainable Design into a responsible and sustainable professional behaviour.

At the end of the module each student should have the ability to demonstrate and/or work with:

• Knowledge that covers and integrates most of the principle areas, features, boundaries, terminology and conventions of the discipline of architecture focused on the issues of sustainability and the performance of the building envelope.
• A researched understanding of sustainability in order to take a position as a designer reflected in the ability to devise and implement strategies for sitting, energy use, choice of construction, materials and processes, as well as for the quality of the internal environment and micro-climate.
• A researched and integrated knowledge of building construction and materials, structural design and energy transfer mechanisms synthesized in coherent design projects that express architectural intentions and considerations of a sustainable environment.
• Execute complex defined and self-defined projects of research, development or investigation and identify and implement relevant outcomes.
• Communicate and articulate ideas and informations fluently in english language and work comprehensively in visual, oraland written forms.
• Make formal presentations about specialist topics to informed audiences.
• Exercise autonomy and initiative in carrying out set project briefs and self-directed programme of study.
• Demonstrate ability to manage time and physicalresources in relation to set project briefs and self-direct programmes of study as an individual and a group member.
• Development of critical position as an individual designer and contribute this to the on-going studio debate. Deal with complex ethical and professional issues.

• Intermediate and final review with externals

All courses in the module have to be passed with a sufficient grade (minimum grade of 4.0).
The module grade will be determined from the weighted average of the single course grades.

Das Modul ¿Human Resources and Relations Management¿ vertieft die Kompetenzen im Business Process Engineering aus Sicht des Faktors ¿Mensch¿. Das Modul vermittelt einerseits die Elemente des Leaderships im Kontext der Struktur eines Unternehmens, insbesondere seiner Informationsstrukturen, und es stellt sich anderseits den Herausforderungen, die sich im organisatorischen Umfeld, bis hin zu Vertragsgestaltungen im Rahmen der Wertschöpfung stellen. Das Modul erweitert und vertieft die im Modul ¿Informationsmanagement¿ des Bachelor-Studiengangs Wirtschaftsinformatik vermittelten Führungskonzepte auf Grundlage des in der Modulgruppe ¿Handlungs-, Reflektions- und Kulturkompetenzen¿ erworbenen Wissens. Es verknüpft und unterstützt Module des Master-Studiums, wie ¿Business Process Management¿ und ¿Systems Development¿, die zur Organisation von Projekten und zur Gestaltung von Prozessen und damit zu einer erfolgreichen Produktentwicklung führen. Damit ist ein Bezug zur integrativen Gestaltung von Geschäftsprozessen hergestellt. Die Qualifikationsziele des Moduls und die von den Studierenden erworbenen Kompetenzen sind:

Die Studierenden kennen die Terminologie und den betriebswirtschaftlichen Stellenwert des Human Resources Management und sind sich der Verantwortung und Tragweite dieser Funktion innerhalb des Unternehmens bewusst. Sie kennen die Vorteile (und Gefahren) von Führungsinstrumenten (wie Balanced Scorecard, Employee Incentive Systems), sind mit Methoden der Kommunikation, der Teambildung und des Konfliktmanagements vertraut und somit auch in der Lage, mit komplexen Situationen organisatorisch umzugehen. Die Studierenden verstehen die Rolle des Individuums innerhalb einer Organisation und wie die Interessen beider Seiten zu einer lernenden Organisation verbunden werden können. Sie können die Prinzipien, Leitlinien und Methoden zum nachhaltigen Aufbau einer starken Unternehmenskultur umsetzen.

Das Modul ¿Operations Research¿ vertieft verschiedene, im Bachelor- und Masterstudiengang vermittelte quantitative Konzepte zur Lösung betrieblicher Probleme. Es vermittelt Schlüsselqualifikationen, die an mehreren Stellen zur Lösung von Optimierungsproblemen bei der Gestaltung von Geschäftsprozessen benötigt werden. Dabei werden die zentralen Modelle und Methoden des Operations Research behandelt. Anwendungsfeld ist die Lösung von Problemen, die mit Finanzinformationssystemen verbunden sind. Die Qualifikationsziele des Moduls und die von den Studierenden erworbenen Kompetenzen sind:

Die Studierenden kennen die Terminologie und den betriebswirtschaftlichen Stellenwert des Operations Research und wissen um die Bedeutung der quantitativen Methoden als ein zentrales Konzept zur Lösung wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Probleme unter Nutzung von Informationssystemen. Sie können die Aufgaben und die Ziele von Modellen und mathematischen Methoden zur Problemlösung erklären. Verschiedene Modelle grenzen sie konzeptionell voneinander ab und erläutern sie in Hinsicht auf ihre spezifische Anwendbarkeit. Die praktische Umsetzung der vermittelten Modell- und Methodenkenntnisse steht im Zentrum von Übung und Fallstudie. Die Lösungen erarbeiten und evaluieren sie in Teamarbeit.
