articipants in this module will gain a well-structured understanding of
software development from a software engineering (SWE) perspec-
tive, enabling them to work as geospatial experts in development
teams and to successfully communicate with software developers.
Based on the foundations of programming and development, students
acquire competences in at least two development environments and
languages, enabling them to design simple software programs, to cus-
tomize existing applications, and to automate basic workflows. This in-
cludes practical skills in geo-application development in the areas of
web applications, mobile applications, or desktop analytical applica-
tions. Having completed this module, students are able to carry out
basic development tasks on a variety of platforms and architectures
with an emphasis on understanding and translating demands from typ-
ical geospatial application domains. This key competence is devel-
oped and verified through a development project in one of the se-
lected IPs.
