  • use relational databases
  • understand Enterprise Ressource Planning Systems

by

  • understanding and using abstract classes, composition and data analysis functions
  • comprehending the theoretical principles of database systems and their application to modelling and implementing databases,
  • creating complex database queries, data definitions and data changes using SQL programming
  • using transactions, multi-user synchronisation and procedures for fault recovery and ensuring data integrity
  • understanding active database concepts and applying them with Oracle PL/SQL
  • comprehending basic technologies of information systems (client/server, web services, communication in client/server and service oriented structures) and their pros and cons
  • modeling business processes and implementing small examples of business functions in an enterprise resource planning environment
  • analyzing complex application systems in reference models
  • evaluating the technology of application systems
  • comprehending various integration models and integrating sub-systems
  • summarizing results in reports
  • presenting results in oral presentations

to

  • be able to solve data science problems by developing fast and reliable object-oriented software
  • be able to integrate automation systems, technical information systems and business information systems
  • be qualified for a professional career as automation engineer
