Computer Science in Applications (Computer Science in Vehicle Technology)

Course Overview

The degree "Computer Science in Applications" accentuates the engineering constructive character of computer science which is essential for the creation of software systems. Students are taught specific skills from the area of application which are necessary for the creation and application of software systems from the area. The mathematical and natural scientific foundations are also geared to the area of application. Essentially the degree differs from the classical "Computer Science" degree in two ways: Students choose an area of application which is the focus of their degree at an early stage. In this area of application (which makes up about 30% of the degree) students are taught further specific computer science skills and above all skills from another engineering subject. The computer science course itself isn't as diverse as in the "Computer Science" degree. The degree "Computer Science in Applications" focuses more on computer science as an engineering discipline. This is reflected in the fact that the constructive elements of the "Computer Science" degree are included in the course and mathematics is replaced by engineering mathematics (called "advanced mathematics" in Kaiserslautern).
