Industry Lecturers Supporting OSR and PSWT Teaching

The Open Source Research Group, teaching as part of the Applied Software Engineering Research and Teaching Alliance makes significant use of industry lecturers who team up with us in our various classes. Next to the original lecturers, here is a short overview of who is currently involved with us. I hope we’ll be able to provide more detailed profiles in the future!

Dr. Martin Jung Dr. Erich Meier
Dipl.-Inf. Stefan Probst Dipl.-Inf. (BA) Michael Rohrmüller

Of course, we’ll just keep on adding!

Announcing ARCH, Our New Seminar on Software Architecture

This semester we are introducing ARCH, our new seminar on Software Architecture. ARCH goes together with ARCH-TALK (a series of videos, see explanation) to form a 5 ECTS seminar. Here is the key information for the seminar:

  1. Seminar description
  2. Seminar schedule and topics
  3. Detailed seminar topics

Class starts this coming Monday, Oct 17, 9am in Blaues Hochhaus, Rm 04.150. Any feedback is appreciated.

Announcing New *-TALK Type of Classes

To enhance the experience of learning software engineering at the OSR Group (OSS), Applied Software Engineering Alliance (PSWT), we are adding a line of *-TALK classes to our current set of seminars (ARCH, PROD, FIRM).

  • A TALK class will feature a video on a pertinent topic of interest that we will watch together and discuss in class. A short homework assignment of writing a summary paragraph about what was noteworthy will round out the class.
  • A TALK class is intended to complement a matching more traditional seminar-style class. Hence, for ARCH, the software architecture seminar class, there will be ARCH-TALK, where we watch videos on software architecture. For PROD there will be PROD-TALK etc.
  • Any X + X-TALK combined will constitute their own 5 ECTS seminar module. X + X-TALK will typically be taught as a block from 9am to noon Monday or Tuesday mornings, starting this coming winter semester with ARCH + ARCH-TALK.

The videos shown will sample the best current teaching from the web. For example, for ARCH we will draw on:

and others more. Feel free to make some suggestions!
