| Title | Back to the future: Critical thinking in simulation technology (online) |
| Description | This innovative and interactive online course offered by SimTech in cooperation with the Teaching and Learning Forum RISING (SRF IRIS), consists of of two parts. In the first session, you will train your critical thinking skills and reflect upon your work as a scientist as well as your own research. In the second session you will be able to apply your skills based on presented research. The intention of this seminar is to get a better understanding of shared challenges and values in your differing areas of research, thus enabling a deeper level of reflection and collaboration across disciplines. It will also allow you to present your findings in a meaningful way to a broader audience. |

| Title | Recent scientific advances in robotics (online) |
| Description | This novel online course addresses both Master and PhD students (both SimTech and IMPRSIS) with basic knowledge and experience in robotics, mechanics, engineering, controls, materials, and computer science. High-impact robotics science-related journal articles published recently in top scientific journals, such as Science, Nature, Science Robotics, PNAS, Nature Materials, and Science Advances, will be selected and assigned to the students. The students will present and discuss these papers with guidance and comments from the professor. |

| Title | Mathematical Theory for Simulation Practitioners (online) |
| Description |
This novel course addresses master and PhD students with basic knowledge and experience in continuum mechanics based mathematical modeling and numerical simulations of natural or technical processes. Its goal is to provide or refresh or widen the necessary background information from mathematics, both concerning model formulation and validity and discretization and solution methods. Due to this wide span, the lecture can only touch selected topics, also relying on the active reading activity of the participants. In particular, specific interests and questions of the participants can be addressed in the discussion hours. Examples of questions which may come up and be discussed are

Winter term 2020/2021
| Title | Digital Literacy in Research and Teaching (online) |
| Description | There exist a lot of tools to make our work in research, teaching, and co-working in groups with other students or researchers easier and more effective, for example how to find bugs in our code faster using debugging tools, how to keep track of our change history with a version control system, or how to visualize our results in a convincing way. Especially in times of the Corona pandemic, when most people including students and researchers worked from home, it became clear that teaching knowledge and skills to work with these tools is a significant part of a scientific environment. Previously, these skills were often shown to students in personal meetings in the scope of a student thesis. In this lecture, various principles and tools are introduced, which are helpful in the context of scientific work in general and scientific programming in particular. |

| Title | Programming Skills for Simulation Software (online) |
| Lecturer | Bernd Flemisch, Ralf Diesterkämper, Sybille Hermann |
| Language | English |
| Topic | Refining and evaluating simulation models frequently requires implementing simulation software. To accelerate the implementation process, this seminar aims at improving your programming skills. If you already have basic coding experience in Python, Java, Scala or C/C++, you can refine your programming skills in hands-on implementation tasks on popular data-structures and algorithms in computer science. In weekly online sessions, you are given 1 to 3 programming tasks that you should solve in a sandbox environment and discuss with the group. The amount and difficulty of the tasks is dynamically adapted based on the participants’ skills and feedback. |
| Time | Start: Tuesday 15:45-17:15 CEST Starting May 26th via WebEx |
| SWS | 2 |
| ECTS | 3 |
| Proof of Attendance | Regular online presence and active participation in discussions |
