In addition to regular teaching, we hold events that serve both to promote cooperation with regional business, civil society, public institutions and as a place for exchange. Depending on the format, the focus is on exchange between students, contact with pupils or contact with experts from business and civil society.

AKIS Seminars

Every winter, the AKIS Seminar takes place as an overarching course of AKIS. The seminar is intended as a place where different disciplines, as well as science and practice, meet for an intensive exchange of ideas. It is aimed at

  • (Master) students of the five departments
  • Members of the AKIS
  • Interested guests from the university and beyond.

Master students have the option to have the seminar credited as an elective module.  

All lectures are offered in German. For more detailed information on the specific topics and credits, visit our german page.

Cooperations

The seminar is held in cooperation with our partners, other technology companies, as well as the Graduate School for Applied Research in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Bergische Innovation Platform for Artificial Intelligence.

Crediting for master students

The seminar is not included in all schedules of the Master's programs. Here you can register in Moodle: https://moodle.hs-bochum.de/course/view.php?id=5163

During the seminar, various experts from research and industry will give presentations on topics from the fields of AI, machine learning, data science and their applications. Here you will certainly encounter interesting impulses to delve deeper into individual topics yourself.

If you want to pursue a topic individually, the AKIS seminar plus the corresponding term paper or practical work can be credited in many courses of study at Bochum University of Applied Sciences and Ruhr Master School in the course of study. For this purpose, you regularly participate in the seminar and, following the series of lectures, continue to delve into individual topics under the supervision of a lecturer.

For students of the Bochum University of Applied Sciences, credit can be awarded either through elements of the course or through the Ruhr Master School.

The study programs of the CVH:

  • Master Computer Engineering ( FB E )
  • Master Mechatronics & Product Development ( FB E )

for example, can take the subject directly. The following study programs can take the subject via the Ruhr Master School:

  • Master Mechatronics ( FB M )
  • Master Mechanical Engineering ( FB M )
  • Master Geoinformatics ( FB G )
  • Master Computer Science ( FB E )
  • Master International Management ( FB W )

Contact persons for questions regarding credit transfer in the study programs or the Ruhr Master School are:

  • for the Master's program of the department of electrical engineering and computer science at the Heiligenhaus Campus and within the framework of the Ruhr Master School:Prof. Frochte
  • for the Master's program of the department of electrical engineering and computer science at the Campus Bochum: Professors Blunk and Müller-Schneiders
  • to the Master's program of the department of geodesy: Prof. Wytzisk-Arens
  • to the Master's program of the department of mechatronics and mechanical engineering: Prof. Schilberg
  • to the Master's program of the department of civil and environmental engineering: Prof. Mudersbach
  • to the Master's program of the department of economics: Professors Bockermann and Merchiers

Artificial Intelligence - Opportunities and Risks
A joint event by Womengineer and AKIS Ruhr

Why is "Alexa" actually not called "Alex"?

How can the use of AI be designed in such a way that existing injustices with regard to gender, origin or language are not perpetuated?

How can the opportunities of AI be maximized and the risks minimized?

In which areas is AI already being used so successfully that lives are being saved, and why is programming such a highly sensitive topic?

These and other questions were explored by AI experts Dr. Susanne Rosenthal from Cologne University of Applied Sciences and Prof.'in Dr. Katharina Morik from TU Dortmund University in their presentations.

The event "Artificial Intelligence - Opportunities and Risks" took place on June 23rd, 2022.

The complete report on the event can be found here.
