You should address two important points:
• Motivation: why are you interested?
• Strengths: why should you work on the topic?
Optionally
• CV, motivation letter
• Feedback: TUM Career Center

What if I don‘t have a Topic in Mind?
• Ask potential advisors for ideas
• As an advisor, I do not expect– Students to come up with thesis topics
– Students to apply only for documented topics

From: Roman Haas
To: Elmar Juergens
Date: 10.12.2013
Hallo Herr Juergens,
ich studiere Informatik an der TUM im fünften Semester und möchte im
kommenden Sommersemester meine Bachelorarbeit schreiben. Ich interessiere
mich für Software Engineering-Themen wie z. B. Tests, Analyse,
Softwarequalität und habe im Rahmen meiner Werkstudententätigkeit auch
erste Erfahrungen in diesen Bereichen gesammelt. Beispielsweise
beschäftige ich mich damit, Tests einer Komponente in einem Flugsimulator
zu automatisieren. Außerdem habe ich im Sommer bei der Ferienakademie an
einem Kurs zum Thema "Programmanalyse" teilgenommen, der mir viel Spaß
gemacht hat.
Haben Sie noch Themen für eine Bachelorarbeit aus den Bereichen Software
Engineering/ Testing/ Analyse?
Falls ja, könnten wir uns mal auf einen Kaffee treffen, um uns darüber
genauer zu unterhalten?
Danke für Ihre Antwort!
Viele Grüße
Roman Haas

When does a topic suck?
If you cannot tell, whether a solution for it is good, or not.
Most important factors:
• Is there a clear problem statement?
• Is there a way to evaluate alternative solutions?
Why important?
• Helps you choose between alternatives
• Helps you convince your advisor
• Helps your advisor to convince his professor (your supervisor)

What characterizes scientific work?
German: Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten: schafft Wissen.
Scientific work creates knowledge
• Separate opinion / hypothesis from empirical results
• Separate your results from previous work
Goal: Enable reader to trace (or in some cases reproduce) your results.
