Course Description
For all Incoming-students, the UAS Technikum Wien offers the module „Cross Cultural
Competences and Language“ which takes place in the two orientation weeks at the
beginning of each semester and is compulsory for all Incoming students.
In this module, selected topics related with intercultural aspects such as Austrian
cultural standards compared to student’s culture of origin, intercultural scientific writing
traditions, selected cultural models (Schein, Thomas, Hofstede), facts and figures
about Austria and individual cultural imprints will be examined. Key aspects will be
formed in terms of languages and of discussions on cultural standards in Austria
based on similarities and differences in the student’s culture of origin. The content
rests upon the intercultural potential of the students.
Regarding the language course, the students have to choose between German or – for
German speaking students – English Language. An entrance level test in order to
identify the appropriate level has to be completed in advance.

budget, research and development, legislature. That’s why it’s necessary to
know, where the new rules come from, how they have been elaborated and in
which tasks the European Union have, in this way we all can prepare us for the
future. This course will give an overview over the institutions, their structure,
their tasks and influence, but also give examples and exercises including their
solutions. It will also introduce the different kind of rules of the EU, so the
student can work at the end autonomously with European law.

After passing this course successfully students are able to ...
- explain the institutions of the EU
- identify types of cases (Failure to fulfil obligations, action for failure to act,
action for annulment, procedure for preliminary ruling) and to provide
suggestions for decisions of the court
- select and apply appropriate legal instruments
Course Contents
Directives have to be transposed into national law. The student must learn to
deal with the legal system to know which law is valid for him. However, also
other legal aspects are dealt: the student will elaborate the reasoning for a legal
case to get a feeling what is legally allowed in the EU and will also draft a
directive because of given issues.
Prerequisites
The course is elaborated for students with no knowledge about the European
institutions and European law

Course Description
In this course students will get a perspective on Geographic Information
Systems. The course starts with basics like coordinate systems and the
difference between raster and vector data. Some information on data storage
mechanisms and important algorithms and their application are shown. The
course continues with more complex problems like data quality and finishes with
legal and economic aspects of data.
Learning outcome
The students shall get a basic understanding of the problems when designing
geoinformation products: What data are necessary in what quality, where can
they be obtained, are there legal traps, etc. In the end the students should be
capable of developing, presenting, and (maybe with the help of programmers)
implement a geoinformation product.
Course Contents
- Coordinate Systems and reference frames (local and global)
- Types of GIS: Raster vs. Vector

networking while confronting network operators on the other hand with new
challenging questions. Networks should migrate from transmission- and
distribution and energy meters will become Smart Meters. These changes
together with paradigm shifts from "Supply follows Demand" towards "Demand
follows Supply" - the so called Demand Side Management - require new
Information- and Communication Technologies. The consequence is a
convergence of IT, Telecommunication and Energy. We are building the
Internet of Energy.
In the lecture "Internet of Energy" the requirements for future energy networks
will be shown and a potential migration path starting from todays energy
networks via Smart Metering towards Smart Grids is discussed. The
corresponding enabling technologies are presented and the main processes
and operational management aspects are highlighted. A special focus will be
given to the topic security.
