Final exam
Details
The proof of achievement is based on a software project. The corresponding project work is started and supervised during the attendance. In addition, there is a supervision of the project work outside the attendance, similar to supervising theses.

Prerequisite for admission to the examination is the preparation of a support request in English. The support request may be, for example, an error report or a feature request and must have at least one system file of the simulation software for explanation.
Minimum standard
For the successful realization of the software project, basic knowledge of the used simulation software is required. Furthermore, the modelling of real optical systems in the context of the software used must be understood.
