Projects

We support projects and initiatives aiming to introduce young women and girls to STEM fields, like information technology. Through workshops, courses and events, these initiatives introduce programming to women. Female students act as role-models so that girls are inspired about technology. Interested young women get an overview and spark their interest in fields where they are still under-represented.

JASS was founded in 2002. The founding directors were Prof Ernst W. Mayr from TUM, and Prof Yuri Matiyasevich, from the Saint Petersburg Academic University. From 2002-2006 JASS was financially supported by Siemens cooperation. In 2012, the directors became Prof Bernd Brügge and Prof Kirill Krinkin.

This practical course is centered around innovation. It covers mobile applications for smart devices, ranging from standalone applications, embedded systems including hardware and sensors to the design of modern interfaces for complex business applications. Students learn and apply software engineering and usability engineering techniques. This includes object oriented modeling and system design as well as the realization of graphical user interfaces, usability testing, continuous integration and continuous delivery. Real industrial partners provide problem statements as clients.

During the Ferienakademie Summer School, students work on solutions to real-world problems combining different technologies. This program has been carried out since 1984 in collaboration with the University of Stuttgart and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg
