Laboratory & Course
Entrepreneurship and new Media
in WS 05/06
The lecture "Hightech
entrepreneurship and new
media" covers special chapters for the development of complex information
products (personalized
websites,
electronic marketplaces,
mobile information services, virtual communities) and
combines them with lectures out of practical experience in
terms
of
company
foundation.
New
design and implementation
approaches,
those
who
are asserting themselves as standards
as well
as group-oriented and participative approaches like
Extreme Programming (XP)
are also to be introduced
to deliver software engineering knowledge in a very detailed manner. The
lecture builds on existing lectures in our faculty such as Introduction of
Databases, Software Technology, CSCW and Software Engineering Management.
The lecture is open to all
master students and diploma students with Vordiplom; an
Entrepreneurship
Lab is also offered, with a maximum class size of
18 students. During the
lecture, the students participating in the lab will obtain support for
their work on tasks in the lab. There will be two all-day lectures
facilitating computer science based knowledge on methods. Integrated into
the concept of this course is the procurement of necessary facts for start
ups in high-tech branches, taught by practitioners.
Four reviews will
be used to present the results of the lab and for discussions.
To support the participants in the
development of presentation skills, we will organize and perform a combined training
and coaching program. A half-day presentation training is aimed at
providing and practicing basic knowledge on the preparation and
realization of business presentations. In three coaching sessions, the
participants will be given detailed video-based feedback on their review
presentations to improve specific aspects of their presentation behaviour.
The students
will work in start-ups on specific and typical IT-related problems of
these enterprises. Therefore, the students will get the right
qualification in
tutorials
during the first part of the semester. During
the whole semester, they also have the community-system
BSCW at
their disposal, in order to interchange problem solving information
among themselves and their tutors and to extend their knowledge. In the
first review, a requirements engineering study is to be presented through
techniques of Extreme Programming as well as a project concept. In
the second review, the students shall describe and present
a running prototype of their concept either as a interface design study or
as core functionality. In the third review we like to see a integrated
full functional prototype. In the last review focus is on a customer
oriented presentation of a product. The enterprise, the
problem and the solution concept as well as the problem
solving process will be introduced and presented in a public presentation
at the end of the course. Details can be found in our detailed
schedule of the lab and the lecture series.
