Seminar IIS

Chair: Digitalization Industrial Service Systems (Prof. Matzner)

Content: As part of a preliminary study, the seminar is investigating the possibility of making vehicle data available externally. The focus is on two central questions. 1) Hardware: How can vehicle data be accessed? Existing interfaces such as OBD connectors, onboard diagnostics and solutions already used by insurance companies, for example, will be discussed. The communication of a readout device with the vehicle bus and the question of suitable data standards will be a particular focus. 2) Retrofit: Can the existing vehicle fleet be retrofitted? The focus here is on the development of a prototype that enables specific data such as vibrations or speed to be queried. The seminar is aimed at technically interested students, meaning that previous technical knowledge is required.

Prerequisites: Technical knowledge, such as programming, modelling, interface development and knowledge of electrical or mechanical engineering.

Chair: Innovation & Value Creation (Prof. Möslein, Prof. Roth & Prof. Grill)

Content: The goal of the seminar is to gain experience in applying the acquired knowledge to technological innovation projects. To this end, students will independently carry out an innovation project and present their results in a presentation. The exact tasks will be determined in a preliminary discussion, taking into account the knowledge and interests of the participants.

Chair: Gamification (Prof. Morschheuser)

Content: This seminar aims to understand how the metaverse may shape the future of research, education, business, healthcare, and society as well as what current and future challenges the topic entails. In this seminar, students explore the ongoing scientific discourse on the topic and strive to understand what socio-technological trends may support the further development of the metaverse. To this end, the students create immersive 3D content on popular and emerging metaverse-like platforms and investigate relevant research questions related to the topic in empirical studies. The seminar is positioned at the intersection of Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction and strives to create knowledge by implementing and evaluating prototypes, interactive experiments, and case studies. This project seminar applies a research-based learning approach, in which students learn how to read and understand scientific papers, develop, and evaluate hypotheses by using scientific methods, and think critically and creatively. Students learn how to solve scientific problems, challenges, and dilemmas. Further, the course trains skills for communicating in the field of science through writing and discussion and thus prepares writing a master thesis.
