The knowledge gained by that is important for many prosperous industrial areas searching for young employees combing software experience with technical understanding. To name a few: automotive systems, avionics, and automation systems in general, but also research and consulting. Former students of our working group are hence now working as research assistants, as software designers for embedded systems and for testing of automotive software or as a consultant.
How to study:
The normal way students start their contact to our working group are the lecture and exercise in Informatik C - Grundlagen der Technischen Informatik (Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals). It is compulsory for computer science students and optional for many other students. It can be followed by the Hardware-Praktikum (Hardware Lab) which consists of two parts. First, some main aspects of implementing digital logic are addressed by concrete exercises spanning from gate level and programmable logic devices to assembly programming on a real microcontroller. The second phase is run as a short project and covers the design and implementation of a small, but typical embedded system. It puts a first emphasis on working on a project and in a team. This is very important for us in order to give the students practically relevant experiences as early as possible, i.e. the fourth semester.

Seminars pick up current research topics and are a good starting point for finding a hot topic for a bachelor or master thesis or for taking a student job at our working group. The same holds for other practical courses like the Systemdesign-Praktikum (Systems Design Lab) or project groups. These are conducted in form of a more challenging project by a team in order to further emphasize team work and project skills.
