- Description/content
- Software plays a dominant role in most areas of embedded systems (for example, in the automotive sector). Businesses are faced with the challenge of tasking experienced engineers with software engineering more and more frequently.
The distance learning programme is aimed at professionals in the field of software development and provides the participants with well-founded theoretical knowledge and the ability to acquire according practical methods, techniques and tools in the field of software engineering.
Examples of topics the modules focus on include:
• project management
• software quality assurance
• software product line engineering
• requirements engineering
• software architecture for embedded software systems
• component-based software development
• model-based component engineering
• real-time systems and dependability engineering (compulsory elective module)
• machine learning (compulsory elective module)
The programme is offered in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE).
