Dear Students!

We know that there have been rumors and upfront information around for a few months now, but the legislation process for the new study plan is complicated and long drawn out. The new curricula should now finally pass the TU-wide Curricular Committee at the end of May and the TU's Senate at the end of June to become valid from October on.

Nevertheless, we want to invite you to an information event on Tuesday, June 3 from 18:00 onwards in lecture hall i13 (Inffeldgasse 16b). Together with Prof. Robert Legenstein, head of the CS/SEM Curricular Committee, we will cover the upcoming changes in the CS and SEM curricula - mainly for the Bachelor, but also take a glance at the slightly changed Master curricula.

One important, general information ahead: From the coming into effect of the new curriculum, you still have four (Bachelor) resp. three (Master) years to finish the curriculum you're currently enrolled in. Only after that, you HAVE to switch to the new one.

Feedback Survey and Raffle

Especially after the ÖH elections last week, we also want to listen to your feedback! Participate in our short survey and get the chance to win 3x € 20,- Bausatz vouchers: https://cloud.htugraz.at/index.php/apps/forms/s/4ZELb26DyfBio8Yix2cL8HNi

More information will be public available here ONLY AFTER the final publishment on behalf of the university!

• Datastructures and Algorithms 1
  • Moved from 3rd Semester to 2nd Semester in CS/SEM
  • Reason is the important knowledge being taught to late and teaching it with Datastructures and Algorithms 2 in the same semester
  • Will still be available in the winter semester for the time being
     
• Logic and Computability VO + KU
  • Moved from 4th Semester to 3rd Semester in CS
  • Reason is to have the lecture before "Grundlagen AI und Logik"
     
• Data Management VO + KU
  • Moved from 2nd Semester to 4th Semester in CS/SEM
  • Reason is due to the changes made in the other two lectures to have approx. 30 ECTS per Semester
     
• Readjustment of free choice subject ECTS to fit the changes in the Plan
  • 2nd Semester ECTS: 2 ECTS to 1.5 ECTS in CS/SEM
  • 3rd Semester ECTS: 2 ECTS to 2.5 ECTS in CS
  • 3rd Semester ECTS: 2 ECTS to 4.5 ECTS in SEM
  • 4th Semester ECTS: 2 ECTS to 0 ECTS in SEM

New Lecture:

• "Vielfalt im Zentrum der Forschung" added as a Wahlmodul in CS/SEM
  3 ECTS, 2 SSt. Seminar

New Lectures:

• "Distributed Algorithms VU" was added to A3
  5 ECTS
   
• "Advanced Information Theory VU" was added to A5 (CS/SEM) and K5 (CS only)
  3 ECTS
   
• "Explinations in Artifical Intelligence VU" was added to E3 and G6
  3 ECTS
  This is a new lecture
   
• "Seminar Probabilistic Machine Learning SE" was added to E7 and G7
  3.5 ECTS
   
• "Wearable Computing VU" was added to F3, H3 and M3
  5 ECTS
   
• "Spoken Language in Human and Computer-Human Dialogue VU" was added to H4

• "Information Architecture andWeb Usability VU" was added to I5
  5 ECTS
   
• "Future Studies II: Theories and uses VU" was added to N (CS) and S (SEM)
  4 ECTS
   
• "Vielfalt im Zentrum der Forschung SE" was added to N (CS) and S (SEM)
  3 ECTS
   
• "Cryptography on Hardware Platforms"
  Is currently "Selected Topics of Information Security 705.221
  VU, 3 SWS, 5 ECTS, WS
  Added to D3
   
• "Introduction to Quantum Computing" / "Einführung in Quantum Computing"
  Is currently a free LV 706.724
  VO, 2 SWS, 3 ECTS, WS
  Added to D3 and A5
   
• "Buisness Economics Lab" 3 SWS, 3 ECTS in N2 (SEM)
  Was "Buisness Valuation"

Changes of Semester:

• "Automatic Speech Recognition" was moved to the WS
   
• "Logik und Berechenbarkeit VO+KU" was renamed to "Logic and Computability VO+KU" and moved to WS
  Reasoning is the change in the Bachelor
  Curriculum wrongly said its 1.5 ECTS for the KU, was fixed to the correct 1 ECTS

Renaming of Lectures:

• Projektmanagement was renamed to "Projektmanagement in der Softwareentwicklung"
  • Collision with different lecture that is named the same
     
• Numerische Optimierung VO + KU was renamed to "Nonlinear Optimization VO + KU"
  • Course is in english and theres a different course with that same name
     
• Logik und Berechenbarkeit was renamed to "Logic and Computability VO + KU"
  • In the Master this lecture has the english name. It is taught in english, therefore renaming in the bachelor
     
• Web Technology was renamed to "Advanced Information Retrieval"
  • Reason: Renamed in the Master
     
• Computational Social Systems 1 was renamed to "Computational Modelling of Social Systems"
  • Reason: Renamed in the Master

Readjustments of Lectures:

• Human Computer Interaction VU changed to 1/3 SSt. VO and 2/3 SSt. UE
  • Reason: Better reflects the time invested in the lecture
• Gesellschaftiliche Aspekte der Informationstechnologie VU was 1.5/1.5 SSt. VO and 0.5/1.5 SSt. UE, is now 1.5/2 SSt. VO and 0.5/2 SSt. UE
  • Reason: Lecture had 2 SSt., not 1.5 SSt. This was an error and now it is fixed.

Renaming:

• "Information Visualization" was renamed to "Information Visualisation"
  Reason: Typo
   
• "Futurology" was renamed to "Future Studies I: Foundations and methods"
   
• "Numerical Optimization" was renamed to "Nonlinear Optimization"
  Same reasons as the Bachelor
