signup details for alternative examinations	Dieses Modul enthält mindestens eine alternative semesterbegleitende Abschlussleistung. Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese in der Regel schon zu Beginn des Semesters, in dem diese angeboten wird, angemeldet werden muss. Über die Details und Zeiträume dazu werden Sie vom Lehrenden und/oder dem Prüfungsamt informiert. Fragen Sie gegebenenfalls unbedingt beim Lehrenden nach. This module contains at least one alternative exam part. Please note that this must usually be registered at the beginning of the semester in which it is offered. The lecturer and/or the examination office will inform you about the details and time periods. If necessary, be sure to ask the lecturer.
maximum number of participants
previous knowledge and experience	Object-orientation, UML, OO-Programming C++ and/or Java
learning outcome	Domain competence: After the lectures students have acquired detailed and general knowledge about software engineering methods and tools. They are able to use this knowledge in the project context and they can assess validity and quality of their deliverables. Students can analyze software development processes and they can tailor the processes according to concrete project features. They understand architectural patterns and styles and they can apply them in the project context. Methodological competence: After the exercises students are able to apply the presented methods and estimate the results early in the development cycle. They are able to choose and apply the presented development methods in a given project context. System competence: Students understand the overall interferences of the methods and process steps for the development of a software architecture. Social competence: Students can develop the architecture documentation of an open source project in the lines of a group exercise / project within the semester. They can correctly assess the implications of the soft factors of software development processes based on their group exercises / projects.
content	This lecture presents software engineering methods and tools. Development activities are embedded in development processes. The lecture teaches students about software architecture goals, ~patterns, the quality of architectures and how to assess this quality.
media of instruction and technical requirements for education and examination in case of online participation	Slides, PDF-documents, HTML-pages (Exceptional: Webex for online lectures and exercises.)
