level of course unit
Master's course
Learning outcomes of course unit
The following skills are developed in the course:
- Students know the basic application areas of data collection, data storage, data analysis and data use in the context of scientific and technical applications.
- Students understand the special challenges of this field of application and are familiar with established best practice methods in this area.
- This enables students to design and implement data-based applications in this area themselves, taking into account domain-specific requirements.
