Masterstudium Business Informatics

Modul EE/FD - Enterprise Engineering Foundation (Pflichtfach)

Inhalt

Understand how different modelling approaches capture enterprise aspects (processes, data, actors, systems) and how they can be evaluated systematically.

Ablauf

WS 25/26:

• Structure: Course divided into two blocks: initial lecture phase (conceptual foundations of enterprise modelling and modelling frameworks) followed by student presentations on different modelling approaches
• Focus: Systematic analysis and comparison of modelling languages (e.g. MERODE, BPMN, ArchiMate, etc.) using a common analytical framework
• Group work: Ongoing group report structured along ~6 framework chapters, ~ 40 pages (e.g. purpose & context, abstraction & representation, model instances, modelling grammar, meta-models & linkage, tool support)
• Application: Each modelling approach had to be applied to a business case to illustrate its concepts and limitations
• Presentations: Short, non-graded presentations on selected modelling approaches
• Exams: Two written exams

WS24:

• The course is divided into two parts: BPMN (Part 1) and Enterprise Architecture (Part 2).
• After each session, a short TUWEL quiz (4 per Part) had to be completed before the next class.
• Each group prepared a PowerPoint summary for every session, submitted together with the group project.
• Groups could be randomly selected to present their summary (presentation not graded). Since the grading of the presentation was clarified only at the end of the semester, this gave the impression of an attendance requirement – recommendation: clarify this at the start of the semester.
• There was one group project per part (BPMN/EA), including modeling and documentation.
• A test was held at the end of each part.

Grading: Assignments 20 %, Group Work 40 %, Exams 40 %

• None of these components was repeatable.
• To pass the course, at least 50 % in BPMN and 50 % in EA were required. (No minimum required points for each tasks/tests)

Benötigte/Empfehlenswerte Vorkenntnisse

WS 25/26: not really needed, as everything is clarified in the lecture, though it definetly helps to have some experience with modelling languages to understand new ones faster

Übungen

WS 25/26: no individual assignments beside the group work that had to be prepared every week

Prüfung, Benotung

WS 25/26: two exams which together made up for 50% of the grade, 50 % for the groupwork (report),

10 % extra points for attending a sort of scientific survey (90 mins) on Zoom (announcement email for signing up for this easy survey (basically free points) was during the christmas break and thus could be missed, if you didn't check your mails like me....)

Dauer der Zeugnisausstellung

WS 25/26: for mid-term and final exam > 4 weeks

Zeitaufwand

WS 25/26: studying for the two exams didn't require that much effort, though the instructors didn't really specify what was going to be part of the exam upfront,

Tipps

Do the group work with enough time, since coordinating with all people involved can be tricky sometimes especially while taking exams at the same time.

Highlights / Lob

Interesting perspective on enterprise architecture, though nothing ground breaking if you've had a process modelling lecture in the bachelor's.

Verbesserungsvorschläge / Kritik

WS 25/26: Instead of 7/8 different modelling languages that we will go through in the weekly presentations, choose the 2/3 most relevant ones used in the industry/academia and go more into detail with them. This ensures the students actually remember the different approaches apart from their own ones.
