Mission Statement

Bernd Bruegge
Developing and managing software is always on the move. Continuously growing complexity and shortened development cycles require high flexibility, new ideas and the courage to challenge traditional approaches. This is what we aim at in our research projects and in our teaching courses.
Together with our industrial and research partners, we develop, evaluate and implement new methods and solutions to support practitioners in dealing with software engineering today's challenges.
 
Teaching and training of students in topics around software engineering is also our main concern. We offer lectures, seminars and practical courses in real projects and with real customers, following a learning by doing approach. Our students can prepare themselves for professional life, gain much theoretical and practical knowledge and have a lot of fun.

The objective of this course was the development of applications that experiment with modern user interface requirements. Students got to know background, tools and methods required to develop applications for the iOS.


In addition to software engineering concepts like object oriented analysis, design and realization of GUI based applications participants learned the key concepts of usability engineering.

 

For this course, real industrial partners provided their problem statements. Students got real team and project experience while actually using real data and working tightly together with the client.

In short: Students developed a real iOS application under real world conditions, including a real deadline.

More than 60 students with almost no project experience successfully participated in the iOS lab course 2011 and learned how to develop real applications for industrial partners. They worked together in large teams with up to 9 participants and experienced different aspects of software engineering like the negotiation about requirements with the customer, the communication about problems inside the team and the collaboration that is required to successfully develop the application. They finally presented their results in an exhibition with booths and even three teams presented their work on the open day of the computer science faculty.
