Integrated Enterprise Modeling Lectures for Master Classes

This paper presents the structure and contents of an integrated curriculum on teaching enterprise modeling for master students at a large German university. The module is composed of two main master classes (Business Engineering and Enterprise Modeling) and supplemented by an additional seminar and the final master thesis. The major classes respectively consist of twelve lectures and a large practical exercise part, in which the students have to solve given modeling tasks from two realistic case studies. The curriculum is organized and arranged according to an enterprise architecture framework in order to provide an integrated view on enterprise modeling and respective learning contents. It covers business-related and IT-related perspectives and their consequences for applicable modeling languages.
