This is the page describing the lab called “Software Development Tools (SDT)”, and also theses around this topic.
For those that enjoyed the content of our lectures and seminars, we offer several opportunities to get in contact with our research at Software Technology. Usually, there is no list of open topics, each topics is aranged individually by discussion between the student and a researcher of the Software Technology Group. Labs and theses differ in the workload and credit points you get:
| what | credit | workload |
|---|---|---|
| lab | 06cp | 08 hours/week |
| bachelor thesis | 12cp | 16 hours/week |
| master thesis | 30cp | 40 hours/week |
⚠️ Note: Students occassionally underestimate the workload of a lab or thesis. In particular, a master thesis is not something you can do on the side! If you plan to do a lab, you should dedidacte a full day each week for it, for a bachelor thesis two days, and for a master thesis five days.
The SDT lab is co-organized with the AI4CA seminar. Therefore, all information regarding participation in SDT can be found on the AI4CA homepage. If you are looking for a thesis or something else, keep reading below.
How to contact us, so that you get a response
Look at our list of research interest below and contact a few (but not all) persons by email, if you are interested in pursuing a topic related to their research interests for your lab or thesis.
In your email, mention:
- First make clear what you are looking for, and what lead you to this person, for example:
- “I am contacting you because you are mentioned on website XXX in a list of persons to contact for a lab / bachelor thesis / master thesis. Of the topics mentioned for you, YYY catched my interest.”).
- Programming Languages and other Skills:
- the programming languages you speak (and are interested in learning), and
- other (programming) experiences and skills that are relevant to the topic
- Relevant Courses:
- if and which relevant courses you have visited
- in particular our courses, but other courses may also be relevant
- Seminar: Artificial Intelligence for Coding Assistance (AI4CA)
- Transcript of Records: a pdf export of your grades in tucan
Finally, if you are not sure who to contact or if you did not receive a response in 7 days, write a mail to jobs@stg.tu-….
