1 ContentThe lecture gives an introduction to the broad discipline of software engineering. All major topics of thefield - as entitled e.g. by the IEEE’s “Guide to the Software Engi-neering Body of Knowledge” - get addressedin the indicated depth. Main emphasis is laid upon requirements elicitation techniques (software analysis)and the design of soft-ware architectures (software design). UML (2.0) is introduced and used throughoutthe course as the favored modeling language. This requires the attendees to have a sound knowledge of atleast one object-oriented programming language (preferably Java).During the exercises, a running example (embedded software in a technical gadget or device) is utilizedand a team-based elaboration of the tasks is encouraged. Exercises cover tasks like the elicitation of re-quirements, definition of a design and eventually the implementation of executable (proof-of-concept)code.

2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesThis lecture aims to introduce basic software engineering techniques - with recourse to a set of best-practiceapproaches from the engineering of software systems - in a practice-oriented style and with the help of onerunning example.After attending the lecture students should be able to uncover, collect and document essential requirementswith respect to a software system in a systematic manner using a model-driven/centric approach. Further-more, at the end of the course a variety of means to acquiring insight into a software system’s design(architecture) should be at the student’s disposal.

1 ContentHow to solve field problems numerically on the computer? The Boundary Element Method (BEM) hasdeveloped into an important alternative to domain-oriented approaches (like Finite Elements), ever sincefast implementations are available. The BEM reduces the dimensionality of the problem and can easily takeinto account unbounded domains.Starting from the representation formulas of Kirchhoff and Stratton-Chu boundary integral equations arederived. Next, their discretization by collocation and Galerkin methods is discussed.The resulting fully populated matrices have to be compressed for practical applications, by Fast Multipoleor Adaptive Cross Approximation methods.Industrial examples for application of the BEM are considered, for instance acoustic and electromagneticscattering problems, and thermal analysis.Programming homework will be assigned, to deepen the stu-dents’ understanding of the contents.

2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesStudents will acquire a detailed understanding of Modeling and Simulation with BEM.
