The TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) is a school of the Technical University of Munich, established in 2022 by the merger of three former departments. As of 2022, it is structured into the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Computer Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, and the Department of Electrical Engineering.
The Department of Mathematics (MATH) is located at the Garching campus.
Mathematics was taught from the beginning at the Polytechnische Schule in München and the later Technische Hochschule München. Otto Hesse was the department's first professor for calculus, analytical geometry and analytical mechanics. Over the years, several institutes for mathematics were formed.
In 1974, the Institute of Geometry was merged with the Institute of Mathematics to form the Department of Mathematics, and informatics, which had been part of the Institute of Mathematics, became a separate department. [1]
As of 2022, the research groups at the department are: [2]
The Department of Computer Science (CS) is located at the Garching campus.
The first courses in computer science at the Technical University of Munich were offered in 1967 at the Department of Mathematics, when Friedrich L. Bauer introduced a two-semester lecture titled Information Processing. In 1968, Klaus Samelson started offering a second lecture cycle titled Introduction to Informatics. [3] By 1992, the computer science department had separated from the Department of Mathematics to form an independent Department of Informatics. [3]
In 2002, the department relocated from its old campus in the Munich city center to the new building on the Garching campus. [3]
In 2017, the Department celebrated 50 Years of Informatics Munich with a series of lectures and ceremonies, together with the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Bundeswehr University Munich. [3]
As of 2022, the department consists of the following chairs: [4]
Seven faculty members of the Department of Informatics have been awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, one of the highest endowed research prizes in Germany with a maximum of €2.5 million per award:
Friedrich L. Bauer was awarded the 1988 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award for inventing the stack data structure. Gerd Hirzinger was awarded the 2005 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Pioneer Award. Hans-Arno Jacobsen and Burkhard Rost were awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship in 2011 and 2008, respectively. Rudolf Bayer was known for inventing the B-tree and Red–black tree.
The Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is located at the Munich campus.
The first lectures in the field of electricity at the Polytechnische Schule München were given as early as 1876 by the physicist Wilhelm von Bezold. Over the years, as the field of electrical engineering became increasingly important, a separate department for electrical engineering emerged within the mechanical engineering department. In 1967, the department was renamed the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and six electrical engineering departments were permanently established.
In April 1974, the formal establishment of the new TUM Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering took place. While still located in the Munich campus, a new building is currently in construction on the Garching campus and the department is expected to move by 2025. [5]
As of 2022, the department consists of the following chairs and professorships: [6]
The Department of Computer Engineering was separated from the former Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering as the result of merger into the School of Computation, Information and Technology.
As of 2022, the department consists of the following chairs and professorships: [7]
The Department of Computer Science shares a building with the Department of Mathematics.
In the building, two massive parabolic slides run from the fourth floor to the ground floor. Their shape corresponds to the equation and is supposed to represent the "connection of science and art". [8]
