Learning Outcomes The students...

Professional Competence

list methods of software engineering (e.g., waterfall model, agile methods)
list relational and object-oriented approaches to modeling (e.g., ERM, UML)
understand the elements of different modeling languages (e.g., ERM, UML)
understand key concepts of SQL
understand key concepts of object-oriented programming (e.g., classes, attributes, methods, relationships, inheritance)
create data and system models (e.g., ERM, UML)
perform normalization of database tables
write queries in SQL
write simple object-oriented programs
compare and contrast key programming structures (e.g., data structures, control structures)
identify best practices of software engineering and programming (e.g., design patterns, quality factors)
design object-oriented applications by applying the methods learned
choose appropriate methods for given tasks

Methodological Competence

reproduce the contents of software engineering and programming cases
describe various problems and the appropriate solutions as encountered in the cases
explain the differences and similarities of various methods of software engineering by means of case studies
explain the differences and similarities of relational and object-oriented approaches to modeling using case studies
explain the differences and similarities of various data and control structures of programming
solve case studies with the help of the learned concepts and methods
apply IDE and CASE tools
analyze complex issues and identify appropriate concepts and methods for their solution
create simple object-oriented programs
apply best practices (e.g. design patterns, CASE tools, quality factors)
explain basics of networking (sockets, protocols)

Social Competence

Personal Competence

tolerate the opinions of other students, even if they contradict one's own understanding (e.g., in case study discussion or discussion forums)
independently and reliably repeat the contents of the lecture (esp. exercises)
assess their progress and their involvement in the lectures, the exercises and in self-study (e.g., participation in classroom discussions, success in solving the exercises)
identify their strengths and weaknesses and adjust their commitment accordingly (e.g., repetition of the lecture)
support each other in lectures, tutorials, group work and self-study (e.g. in the discussion forum)
