Course Content
Based on the basic concepts of business administration (e.g. target systems of companies, operational performance areas) and economics (economic system and economic order, economic and business cycle policy), the methods of scientific work with topic identification, systematic research, scientific presentation and citation methods as well as the presentation of work results are taught and practised using concrete examples.
In this module, the common mathematical basics of business, finance and engineering mathematics are covered and applied to concrete examples from different subject areas. These include sequences and sums, compound interest, annuity and redemption calculations, differential and integral calculus, vectors, matrices and linear algebra.
The Computer Engineering module provides the technical foundations of modern information systems, from number systems and formats, logical functions, data structures, computer architectures, storage techniques, networks, to programme design techniques and simple programming tasks. The module is supported by techniques of system specification and documentation. Practical exercises take place on the PC and on suitable microcontroller platforms.
The module serves to introduce basic techniques and systematics in dealing with standard business software, especially office applications, graphics and calculation programmes. Special emphasis is placed on the implementation of the knowledge from the module Mathematics for Business and Technology in calculation programmes, as well as the systematic structure of written documentation in scientific, business and technical applications.
Specific vocabulary and stylistic features in the use of spoken and written English in the fields of business, technology, science and art are taught and trained.
