Project Competence Multimedia

Module: P 15.2

Contents: A practical piece of work for real problems in the development of media systems or in media design is carried out. The problem can be given by the university or from an external enterprise (kooperative internship).

Educational objectives: An understanding for the constraints and problems of practical project work shall be developed. Besides that, techniques shall be learned how to quickly get familiar with current technologies of media informatics beyond those taught in the curriculum.

Bachelor thesis

Module: P 19.1

Contents: A written paper has to be produced which covers a complex and individually assigned topic of Media Informatics. The topic shall contain a practical part, the results of which are documented. Moreover, the topic shall provide sufficient room for a systematic exploration of solution alternatives.

Educational objectives: The presentation technique of a written paper shall be practised and demonstrated. The students shall be enables to discuss alternative solutions for a complex problem in comparison and to find and describe a systematic approach to its solution. Adequate working with scientific literature shall be practiced further and finally demonstrated.
