In this first project students are familiarized with the aesthetic and technological implications related
to the creation of two-dimensional and three-dimensional ludic or narrative worlds. They are
encouraged to integrate fundamental concepts of storytelling, cinematography and gameplay. The
students get introduced to the standard project stages of concept development, planning,
preproduction, production and testing, thus gaining first producing skills. They are encouraged to take
responsibility for self-directed, group-oriented learning processes and to explore individual and
collective methods of problem solving. Furthermore they take different roles and functions in the
production process to find their own strength and artistic voice.
In producing a simple game or animation, the students are exposed to the dynamics of the various
disciplines and roles that contribute to animation and game production. They experience essential
characteristics of both fields of practice and explore the creative potential at the intersections of game
and animation. They gain an increasing awareness of the aesthetic specificities of genres and formats,
which will guide them in their creative decisionmaking.

is encouraged to adopt a critically informed, analytic and creative approach to the iterative resolution
of design problems related to digital and cross media information and entertainment products.
In the first years of life human beings experience different types of early interaction with the most important
persons in their life. Those emotional relations (positive or negative) affect on a long term the patterns of
interactions with other persons, the ways of coping with stress, the strategies of decision making, and the way of
setting boundaries. Moreover, neuroscience reveals that part of our day-today experience is processed in an
unconscious manner which has roots in our earliest experiences. Being aware of those patterns contributes to have
a more conscious way of social interaction and lead to better coping strategies when one deals with interpersonal
conflict.

This course provides an overview of the global migration crisis, its definition, trends and drivers. It will highlight the
different push/pull factors, geographical locations and political scenarios of origin and destination regions and
resulting humanitarian needs created by migration crises. Students will learn how to develop comprehensive
mitigation approaches for the challenge of migration and innovative responses.
In this course, participants will be introduced in the field of using motion pictures or film-making for self-awareness,
personal development, counseling and education.sed in an appropriate setting, movies can be a great tool for self-
exploration, achieving coping mechanisms and a deep connection to oneself and to the human values, personal
transformation and growth. It also helps improving interpersonal, family and socio-professional relationships.
Through cinema-education, the participants can be more aware of themselves, the others, they can learn and
develop new healthy attitudes and behaviors. Through movie-making, they can discover more of their potential,
their personal resources. In cinema-therapy, using the movie allows the exploration, analysis and re-signification of
the participants’ personal scenario, who are the beneficiaries of a restructuring process. Those modern techniques,
cinema-therapy, cinema-education and counseling through film-making, can also be used and adapted to the
participants’ professional practice.
After the completion of the module the student is able to design analog building blocks and integrated analog
systems starting from a specification to a verified integrated circuit layout. The module covers complex design
problems and identifies common mistakes made by beginning engineers. Design recipes are presented taking the
student step by step through the creation of real circuits. The module leaves out bipolar analog circuits, since CMOS
is the dominant fabrication technology

Software TV Paint, standard in many of today's animation productions, gives these
animation skillls a suitable platform
Nobody sets out to make a bad game or a commercial failure on purpose, still, there is a huge number of failed (or
seemingly failed) productions every year either in terms of quality, in terms of sales or in terms of players´ reception.
In this elective, we will have a good look at these so-called failures and determine what went wrong, what could
have been done better and if time maybe redeemed them by now.
Each participant will hold an input-presentation as a basis for discussion, in the end, a paper in the form of a game-
critique will be submitted based on the presentation and the findings of the discussion.
A number of titles and subjects will be offered but feel free to add your own suggestions at the beginning of the
semester. Games can be provided.

Today the development of computer games is more complex than it ever was. Due to the ongoing
pursuit of realism and immersion, team sizes, budgets and schedules have significantly increased
over the past years. At the same time the rise of mobile devices, independent games, and
crowdfunding opens up new market opportunities, technologically fuelled by increasingly powerful
software game engines available to the masses.
Being inherently interdisciplinary, Game Development is derived from fields such as mathematics,
computer science, programming, and artificial intelligence. This course is therefore designed as a first
part introduction to the field, aimed at aspiring game developers as well as anyone involved in the
game development process in general. It covers several fundamental and established subjects and
techniques at the core of many of todays game projects, which any serious game developer needs to
understand and apply, in order to enter and succeed in game studios.

This course shows you how to develop an SNES-style game like Zelda or
StreetFighter2 from ground up! Many game studios still have their own inhouse
engines written in C++ and using own Frameworks. Therefore it is still
required to have solid C++ skills and knowledge of low-level engine
procedures. Modern engines like Unity and Unreal are cloaking those deep
features from their programmers. Our goal will be to uncover the underlying
mechanisms and write our own engine, using nothing but Visual Studio and
Spine (for Assets)
Students will gain a broad perspective related to the topic of diversity and inclusion for a global society. This course
will explore diversity and inclusion from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It will draw from research, direct

maintainability and to support the system diagnosis. The students learn to simulate and test the systems using
different testing methods.
Students will gain practical knowledge on modern engineering methods using model-based real-time simulation
methods and tools.
Contents: To guarantee mobility is essential for developed nations like Germany or the US. On the one hand,
economic growth is dependent on a functioning automotive sector and its supply chain. Furthermore, it is also
important for the individual and her or his interests to be mobile (to go to work, or to university/school, go shopping
or on holidays.).
We will discuss different trends influencing the individual choices of mobility options. General trends (number of
cars, daily mileages, licensing and other statistical date) will set the stage overall stage to allow for international
comparisons. Important aspect are the options and obstacles to change our daily mobility behavior.
Educational objective: Understanding the basic principles and methods used to assess technologies, the intertwined
relation between technical and social developments, Improve comprehension and use of the English language,
Evaluate chances and risks of competing technical solutions
Globalization impacts on the lives of people and populations around the world and also influences welfare policies.
It thus affects the practices of social professionals who seek opportunities to work internationally, and at the same
time the practices of those who continue to see their work as essentially rooted in local conditions. In this seminar,
we rather focus on the world and explore and discuss:
The course provides an introduction into the Anglo-American System. As Contract Law is of major importance to
business and commercial activities, students will focus on both, Contract Law and Intellectual Property Law.

The lecture will have the following three parts. Each part covers a distinguished aspect in the Seminar.
The first part: will focus on the term Geopolitics, what does it mean? The origin, doctrines, theories and school of
thoughts and the role it plays in global phenomena will be discussed. And also a glance on global geopolitics will be
discussed ( North, Central and South America, Europe and Eurasia, Asia, The Middle East, and Oceana). Global
geopolitical epicenters, and strategic locations and resources (natural, mineral ...etc) will be covered.
The second part: will focus on Africa (North, South, West, Central and East Africa). It will deeply focus on the core
geopolitical locations and countries shaking the continent. The History, Geography, Economy, Population, Culture,
and Politics of the continent will be covered.
The third part: will be devoted to the Geopolitical analysis of Africa in relation to other Regions (Europe, The Middle
East, the US and China). Migration and other current phenomenon will also be covered in this part.
The course will cover cross-cutting issues which are relevant for social science discipline in general and for social
work in particular. It will broaden the research horizon of students and also will give them a global geopolitical
perspective.
Lehrformen:
Power point lectures , and discussions will be used. Each session will focus on a particular topic so that, at the end of
each lecture period, discussions will take place.
Lernziele/Kompetenzen:
The expected outcome of the seminar encompasses:
•Students will be equipped with the necessary terminologies, facts, and theories of Geopolitics as a discipline,
Global geopolitical phenomenon in general and a detailed African geopolitics in particular.
•Various interdisciplinary concepts and ideas will be circulated, discussed and presented; hence, students will have
the chance to have an integrated and holistic knowledge about geography, politics, society, and environment of
Africa.
•And also, students will be expected to grasp the global geopolitical phenomenon happening in various parts of the
world, which might be important in their future academic or work Endeavour.
Land grabbing and evictions is identified as a phenomenon of great relevance in the global south. Huge areas of land
are subducted from its primary use, affecting existing land use patterns and the livelihoods of peasants and urban
poor. Driving forces are investments into agroindustry, infrastructure projects, securing extra-territorial agricultural
lands and urban development projects.
The phenomenon will be introduced on a general level and looked at in-depth in the case of Cambodia – one of the
most affected countries. Its complexity will be understood by analyzing the contradictory roles of different key
stakeholders. The impact on affected communities as well as strategies to prevent evictions or improve conditions of
resettlements will be explored. By introducing an integrative community development concept a linkage to social
work is made.
A critical reflection of the professional roles and challenges working in an international and transcultural context
shall be an integrated part of this seminar.
History reveals a huge number of cases when critical scientists argue about the risks of certain technologies,
chemicals or applications. Often their warnings remain unheard and counter measures are taken far too late. One
result of this ignorance is a number of cases where people are suffering from health issues, the environment is
polluted or firms are facing severe financial threats.
The seminar gives a review of approaches and methods of technology assessment (TA). TA is seen as an instrument
to inform firms in the process of innovation. While often accused to be costly a review of the pros and cons of an
innovative technology might be a good investment to secure future existence and cash flow.
This course gives students an understanding of the interdependencies between organization, management and
leadership. The main objective is to encourage students to enagage with critical, self-reflective, autonomous ways of
thinking.

The attachment theory reveals that a caregiver and an infant tend to form an emotional connection with implication
for the future emotional development of the child. The effects of a secure/insecure attachment in the first years of
life affect particular brain areas through the process of neuroplasticity. Thus, the latest research in neurobiology
have strenghtened the point of view which states that those patterns of interpersonal behavior have implications
later in life

Not only in your studies at university but also in your later professional life, presentation techniques are key
competences. You must be able to communicate your knowledge, your ideas, your strategies, your proposals for
solutions in such a way that you reach your listeners. For many students, presentations are associated with
apprehension and insecurity. One of the main objectives of the course is to acquire public speaking skills.
A second topic deals with the question how digital media influence our cognitive abilities. The use of the Internet
and Google is omnipresent and a facilitation in our professional life as well as in our private life. But to what extent
does the industrialization of our thinking change our patterns of perception and our structures of thinking? The
development of literacy in ancient times supported logical and exact thinking, the language became more
differentiated. Now digital media are changing the focus from words to images and overloading us with information
and sensory stimuli. What effects does this have on our memory, our ability to concentrate and the depth,
autonomy and differentiation of our thinking?

The aim of this – psychological rather than social – research is to provide a German neighbourhood with tools to
promote the integration of refugees / migrants further. The City of Viernheim, about 35.000 inhabitants, in the
south of Hessen, has undertaken outstanding efforts in this regard (“startsocial” awarded by Chancellor Merkel in
2015) and is ready to take yet another step forward to understand needs, fears and hopes of and in the community
in order to organize the social services respectively. We assume that the relationship of citizens and the City or
community is not exclusively determined by structural factors, but that it is impacted also by psychological or sub- /
unconscious motivation.
Italy, a country where clinical community psychology has a long tradition, is a pioneer in this kind of research; and
the advice of the team of Prof. Langher from Sapienza University Rome and her team is in demand by municipalities
and communities. We will undertake this research exercise with a back up by Prof. Viviana Langher, Dr. Andrea
Caputo – and by a student from Rome, already Erasmus student at our department and involved in refugee work in
Viernheim, who intends to write a Master thesis on the subject. She will do the preliminary work / first phase of the
project, ie she will collect information about the “state of the art”, meaning the integration measures in Viernheim
and identify about 20 – 30 key actors with an in-depth-knowledge of the community. She will also provide us with
information on the – psychological – theoretical framework.
Our work will then be to conduct interviews with these key actors (in German in most cases!) and to analyze them
with T-LAB, a software consisting of a mix of linguistic and statistic instruments that allows to explore, to compare
and to visualize the results of the analysis. It makes part of this kind of research that the results are presented to
and discussed with the people involved! Please see schedule below
„Resilience“ is one of the most widely used concepts to denote a favourable state of systems as diverse as human
communities, communication networks, or ecosytems. Most fundamentally, resilience is a particular dynamic
stability property. It denotes the ability of a system to return to a “functioning” system state after a disturbance or
shock. The more resilient a system, the faster or more completely it will return to an undisturbed state. Systems are
also regarded as resilient if they are capable of absorbing external disturbances without moving to an alternative –
undesired – system state. In the course, we will analyse the main factors that contribute to the dynamic stability of
ecosystems. Because of the potentially enormous importance of ecological stability for human values in a dynamic
word, we will include social systems in the analysis and focus on coupled natural and social systems (socio-ecological
systems).

According to APA (American Psychological Association), (2016): “Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose
gender identity, gender expression or behaviour does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which
they were assigned at birth”. This includes: transsexuals, cross-dressers drag queens/kings, genderqueers,
androgynous, third gender, multigendered, gender nonconforming people. Transgender persons have been
documented in many indigenous cultures and societies from antiquity until the present day. The degree of societal
acceptance for transgender people varies from culture to culture. The intensity of discrimination, harassment, abuse
and violence against transgender people can be seen mainly as an effect of the lack of information. Through this
course, we aim to draw attention to the importance of knowing the realities of transgender people and the
difficulties that they are facing in order to better understand, accept and socially integrate them. In this course, we
will corroborate audio-visual materials, theoretical presentation with experiential techniques.
