1 STRUCTURE OF THE MASTER PROGRAMME IN INFORMATION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT 1 Structure of the Master Programme in Information Engineering and Management The Master programme in Information Engineering and Management has 4 terms. The terms 1 to 3 of the programme are method oriented and provide the students with state-of-the-art knowledge in informatics, business administration, operations research, economics, statistics and law. The interdisciplinary approach is especially emphasized in the interdisciplinary seminar. It is recommended to study the courses in the following sequence: The (mandatory) modules in business administration and operations research should be studied in the first two terms of the programme. The interdisciplinary seminar should be taken in the third term of the programme. The (elective) modules from business administration, economics, operations research, and statistics, from informatics, and from law should be studied in the first three terms of the programme. The 4-th term is reserved for the Master Thesis in which the student proves his ability for independent scientific research in informatics, the economic sciences, and law. Figure 1 shows a summary of this recommendation with the structure of the disciplines and with credit points allocated to the modules of the programme.

2 MODULE HANDBOOK - A HELPFUL GUIDE THROUGHOUT THE STUDIES 2 Module Handbook - a helpful guide throughout the studies The programme exists of several subjects (e.g. business administration, economics, operations research). Every subject is split into modules and every module itself exists of one or more interrelated courses. The extent of every module is indicated by credit points (CP), which will be credited after the successful completion of the module. Some of the modules are obligatory. According to the interdisciplinary character of the programme, a great variety of individual specialization and deepening possibilities exists for a large number of modules. This enables the student to customize content and time schedule of the programme according to personal needs, interest and job perspective. The module handbook describes the modules belonging to the programme. It describes: the structure of the modules the extent (in CP), the dependencies of the modules, the learning outcomes, the assessment and examinations. The module hanbook serves as a necessary orientation and as a helpful guide throughout the studies. The module handbook does not replace the course catalogue, which provides important information concerning each semester and variable course details (e.g. time and location of the course). Begin and completion of a module Every module and every course is allowed to be credited only once. The decision whether the course is assigned to one module or the other (e.g. if a course is selectable in two or more modules) is made by the student at the time of signing in for the corresponding exam. The module is succeeded, if the general exam of the module and/or if all of its relevant partial exams have been passed (grade min 4.0). In order to that the minimum requirement of credits of this module have been met. General exams and partial exams The module exam can be taken in a general exam or several partial exams. If the module exam is offered as a general exam, the entire content of the module will be reviewed in a single exam. If the module exam exists of partial exams, the content of each course will be reviewed in corresponding partial exams. The registration for the examinations takes place online via the self-service function for students. The following functions can be accessed on https://studium.kit.edu/meinsemester/seiten/pruefungsanmeldung.aspx: Sign in and sign off exams Retrieve examination results Print transcript of records For further and more detailed information also see https://zvwgate.zvw.uni-karlsruhe.de/download/ leitfaden_studierende.pdf Repeating exams Principally, a failed exam can repeated only once. If the repeat examination (including an eventually provided verbal repeat examination) will be failed as well, the examination claim is lost. Requests for a second repetition of an exam require the approval of the examination committee. A request for a second repetition has to be made without delay after loosing the examination claim. A counseling interview is mandatory. For further information see http://www.wiwi.kit.edu/servicehinweise.php. 12

2 MODULE HANDBOOK - A HELPFUL GUIDE THROUGHOUT THE STUDIES Bonus accomplishments and additional accomplishments Bonus accomplishments can be achieved on the basis of entire modules or within modules, if there are alternatives at choice. Bonus accomplishments can improve the module grade and overall grade by taking into account only the best possible combination of all courses when calculating the grades. The student has to declare a Bonus accomplishment as such at the time of registration for the exams. Exams, which have been registered as Bonus accomplishments, are subject to examination regulations. Therefore, a failed exam has to be repeated. Failing the repeat examination implies the loss of the examination claim. Additional accomplishments are voluntarily taken exams, which have no impact on the overall grade of the student and can take place on the level of single courses or on entire modules. It is also mandatory to declare an additional accomplishment as such at the time of registration for an exam. Up to 2 modules with a minimum of 9 CP may appear additionally in the certificate. After the approval of the examination committee, it is also possible to include modules in the certificate, which are not defined in the module handbook. Single additional courses will be recorded in the transcript of records. Courses and modules, which have been declared as bonus accomplishments, can be changed to additional accomplishments. Further information More detailed information about the legal and general conditions of the programme can be found in the examination regulation of the programme (in the appendix).

Weinhardt, C. van Dinther 2/1 S 5 A. Geyer-Schulz The assessment is carried out as partial exams (according to Section 4 (2), 1-3 SPO) of each course of this module, whose sum of credits meet the minimum requirement of credits of this module. The assessment procedures are described for each course of the module separately. The overall grade of the module is the average of the grades for each course weighted by the credits and truncated after the first decimal. The student understands and analyzes the central role of information as an economic good, a production factor, and a competitive factor, identifies, evaluates, prices, and markets information goods, evaluates informations flows and the value of information in an interdisciplinary context, works out solutions in teams, transfers models from Business Administration to situations in business whose basic conditions are changed due to the implementation of information and communication technology, applies methods from Business Administration (Decision theory, game theory, operations research, etc.) to questions of Information Engineering and Management, analyzes the potential to automize the decision making process in businesses by data bases, describes the process to extract relevant data for decision making from operational accounting systems. The module Information Engineering and Management comprises the lectures Principles of Information Engineering and Management [2540450] and Business Administration in Information Engineering and Management [2540500]. In the lecture Principles of Information Engineering and Management, a clear distinction of information as a production, competitive, and economic good is introduced. The central role of information is explained through the concept of the information lifecycle. The single phases from extraction/generation through storage transformation and evaluation until the marketing and usage of information are analyzed from the business administration perspective and the microeconomic perspective. The state of the art of economic theory is presented throughout the different phases of the information lifecycle. The lecture is complemented by accompanying exercise courses. In the lecture Business Administration in Information Engineering and Management, classical Business Administration is applied to businesses in an information- and communicationtechnological environment. The process to extract relevant data for decision making from operational accounting systems receives special attention. In order to do so, topics such as activity-based costing and transaction costs models are addressed. The automization of the decision making process in businesses by data bases is 18

4 MANDATORY MODULES 4.1 All Subjects another focus of the module. To solve such issues within a company, relevant methods such as decision theory and game theory are lectured. Finally, complex business relevant questions in a dynamically changing environment are adressed by presenting models and methods from system dynamics. 19

Waldmann The assessment of the module is in a written examination according to 4(2), 1 of the examination regulation. In each term (usually in March and July), one examination is held for both courses. The grade of the module corresponds to the grade of this examination. The lecture provides students with knowledge of modern techniques of stochastic modelling. Students are able to properly describe and analyze basic stochastic systems. Markov chains are no longer a nice theory but an important tool in order to model, analyse, and optimize a stochastic system as it evolves over time. Topics overview: Markov chains, Poisson Processes. 20
