This course offers an introduction to official as well as unauthorized discourses of climate change and environmental activism in semiotic landscapes. Combining approaches of multimodal (critical) discourse analysis, social semiotics and linguistic landscape studies, the course aims to encourage students to engage critically with the most recent theoretical frameworks and methods to examine the semiotics of environmental change in public space.

Since environmental issues are found at the intersection of ecosystems and human social systems, we will raise questions like: How is climate change discourse realized in semiotic landscapes? How does it transform urban spaces and, reciprocally thinking, how do semiotic landscapes contribute to our understanding of environmental change? How can we read environmental discourses in public space? How is environmental change semioticized by different actors? Which semiotic practices and tactics constituting climate change discourse are used in public space? What kind of meaning-making is established by environmental activists? How does environmental activism contribute to discourses of environmental change and sustainability?

To apply the theoretical insights, students will experience hands-on fieldwork as they collect data in urban places. If you cannot be certain about committing to these activities, please do not register for this course.

This seminar is about the interconnectedness of language and social identity, looking at how human beings use language in order to construct, manage, and project parts of their identity within a group. Our focus will be on Communities of Practice (CofP), a concept originally taken from anthropology and learning theory, which has been defined in linguistics as “an aggregate of people who come together around mutual engagement in an endeavor” (Eckert & McConnell-Ginet 1995: 464). Through frequent interaction within the same group, e.g. for a shared hobby, people develop a sense of community. One important part is that they start sharing linguistic norms and ideals. We will study how exactly this happens and how such processes can be studied within the framework of Sociolinguistics. Throughout the term, we will read seminal publications in the field and investigate different types of CofP, encompassing different social backgrounds and including social networks found online. We will explore models used to describe language use and methods of data collection. Students choosing this course should be avid readers and should share an interest in language variation and identity-related language use. The course is open to all students who have successfully completed modules Ling1 and Ling2 and have obtained their Bachelor’s degree or have started to work on their Bachelor’s thesis (see your study programme).

The turn to the twentieth century did not only see the rise of modernism – or rather a large variety of modernisms – in American arts and letters. It also saw the rise of increasingly global conflicts and wars as well as the dawn of a post-war era of globalized American popular culture, of global American cultural diplomacy, of military might and economic power (later understood as a form of Coca-colonization, since consumer culture played a key role) and the rise of international peace-keeping institutions that sought to promote new forms of agonistic plurality. Writers, thinkers and cultural producers attempted to 'break with the past' and to anticipate a new age, whereas politicians, legal discourse and entrepreneurs sought to maximize the leverage of American goods and American principles, while also investing in competitive battles for diversity. At the same time, there was also a heightened sense of needing to accommodate a range of contradictory and contentious ways of being, belief systems and opinions. In this lecture, we will look at this time of momentous changes through the lens of literature and its ability to compromise, to offer a level playing field in which all parties involved have to step back from their individual battles and give up on some of their core beliefs in order to have a share in a common project of future dreams and ambitions. By way of preparation please read the modernism chapter in the Metzler Amerikanische Literaturgeschichte, edited by Hubert Zapf and Timo Müller (2024).

This lecture by Barbara Buchenau integrates course segments taught by Dr. Courtney Blair Hodrick, a guest lecturer from Stanford University, and a number of professors teaching at Aurora universities. It is open to Aurora students and will discuss literature that addresses SDG 16 – the sustainable development goal of promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. The course curriculum will allow students to improve their competences in Inquiry & Analysis.

Die computergestützte Lösung der Maxwell-Gleichungen spielt eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Die sukzessiven Verbesserungen, sowohl in der Computertechnologie als auch bei den numerischen Algorithmen selbst, tragen dazu bei, dass heutzutage sehr viele Elektromagnetik-Probleme aus der Praxis gelöst werden können.

Die „virtuelle Optimierung" mit Hilfe eines Computers ist sehr viel kostengünstiger und effizienter als das traditionelle Vorgehen mittels Bau und Prüfung von Prototypen-Reihen.

Computational Electromagnetics wird inzwischen für den Entwurf von vielen elektromagnetischen Geräten und Systemen verwendet, die sich in allen Sparten der Elektrotechnik wiederfinden, zum Beispiel: Mobil-Telefonie, Satelliten-Kommunikationstechnik, elektrische Maschinen (Motoren, Generatoren und Transformatoren), medizinische Bildgebungssysteme, Mikrowellen-Schaltungen und -Antennen, optische Komponenten, Radarsysteme, Streuungsprobleme und die elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV).

Der Kurs Computational Electromagnetics 2 (CEM-2) hat zwei wesentliche Ziele:

• Die Vermittlung von notwendigen theoretischen Kenntnissen über die wichtigsten Methoden zur numerischen Lösung von elektromagnetischen Feldproblemen, namentlich die Finite-Differenzen Methode (FDM, auch Finite Differenzen im Zeitbereich, engl. Finite-Difference Time-Domain, FDTD) und die Finite-Elemente Methode (FEM).
• Die praktische Implementierung der thematisierten Methoden und Algorithmen am Rechner. Dies soll mittels MATLAB™ (alternativ Python) erfolgen, da die weitverbreitete Programmierumgebung bereits viele nützliche Funktionen bereitstellt, insbesondere für die Lösung linearer Gleichungssysteme, aber auch im Zusammenhang mit der Visualisierung der numerisch berechneten Felder.

In summer semester 2025, Computer Based Engineering Mathematics will take place in presence with accompanying online material. The key which you will need for enrollment will be announced during the first lecture.

In this course room you find information, materials and time schedule for "Computer Network Lab" which provides basic knowledge about conception, implementation and operation of computer networks.
Basic ideas and terms related to the network like network topologies, protocols, routing, sockets, etc. will be introduced and explained.
