GK‐Workshop in SuperC: Prof. Spaniol and Prof. Wehrle  A very special event took place in SuperC 27. – 28. September 2010 where representatives of DFG, former members of Graduiertenkolleg “Software for mobile Communication Systems” and members of the predecessor GK “Computer Science and Technology” got together for 2—day-workshop and exchange of experience. 20 years Graduiertenkolleg: The DFG published a special brochure with the history of this successful type of funding.   Lively discussion: Prof. Otto Spaniol (left) and  Prof. Helmut Willems.Universität Bremen  Prof. Dr. Spaniol was asked to give an interview about his experience of the last years, read more about his interesting explanations under: http://www.dfg.de/download/pdf/dfg_im_profil/geschaeftsstelle/publikationen/20_jahre_grad uiertenkollegs.pdf.   528
  The German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) is a new privately funded University in Muscat, Oman, set up since 2007 with assistance and quality assurance by RWTH Aachen University. Former RWTH Rector Prof. Burkhart Rauhut serves as Founding Rector of GUtech. GUtech currently offers four Bachelor of Science programs in fields of particular strategic interest to the Sultanate of Oman, an Arabic country with significant oil reserves, one of the most interesting geologies in the world, a historically important geostrategic location at the straits of Hormuz with corresponding seafaring traditions and logistical needs, and a thriving high-class tourism development. All four Bachelor programs – applied geosciences, urban planning and architecture, sustainable tourism and regional development, and IT for Engineering and Management – have been defined by adapting corresponding programs from RWTH Aachen to regional needs and preconditions; a Foundation Year and stiff entrance exams ensure quality of student intake. After successful and unconditional accreditation by the AQUIN agency in early 2009, they are the first accredited bachelor programs in the country, two of them also being the only ones of their kind on the Arabic peninsula. In cooperation with the Business Informatics group (Prof. Michael Bastian), the Informatics department at RWTH Aachen – coordinated by Prof. Matthias Jarke as Inaugural Dean -- has assisted the set-up of the bachelor program in Information Technology for Engineering and Management in several ways. The basic course structure follows the Bachelor of Informatics at RWTH Aachen University. The minor field of study has been fixed to be Business Administration, and specialization courses can be linked to locally important application domains such as the oil, gas, and minerals sector or the field of logistics. Moreover, the program is expanded by significant course work on language and cultural skills, because from the beginning, all courses are taught in English (rather than the local Arabic) and the student population needs to understand both the local culture and the Western one. This was one of the reasons why the bachelor is scheduled for four years rather than three. Besides taking responsibility for the curriculum development in cooperation with the GUtech university management, RWTH faculty and senior researchers also taught some of the firstyear courses in Muscat and will continue to offer fly-in compact courses in specialized fields. In 2009-2010, this concerned e.g. Prof. Dr. Manfred Nagl (Informatik 3). GUtech IT students in good standing are also offered the opportunity to visit RWTH Aachen at least twice in their study program, in the first year to get acquainted with the technology and culture, at the end of the third year for a lab course internship in one of the Informatics research groups. Strategically even more important, several faculty from the department participated in the GUtech search committees for permanent faculty at GUtech. In 2008, three excellent assistant and associate professors were hired: • Nahla Barakat, with industry experience from Philips, long teaching experience in the region, and a Ph.D. in data mining from the University of Queensland, Australia 529
