BSc Engineering and Management

The programmes in natural and engineering sciences on the one hand, and economic and social studies on the other, are equally weighted. The practical projects carried out with our  business partners  are very informative and will give you practical experience that our graduates and business partners consider to be a huge advantage.

As industrial engineers often work internationally, we recommend doing a semester abroad.

Convergence modules make sure that everyone starts the degree programme with the same level of knowledge.

As the degree programme covers both technology and economics, it is possible for people with different educational backgrounds to be admitted to the course. Convergence modules are offered in the first semester so that people with varying levels and types of previous knowledge all start the degree on the same page. These modules involve introducing the students to those specialist areas that are new to them.

• Students with a commercial educational background take convergence modules in technical mathematics, physics and chemistry.
• Students with a technical educational background take the accounting, business economics and law convergence modules.

This optimally prepares all of the students for the advanced specialist modules.

The degree comprises the following four training domains: student projects, specialist training, professional-context modules (incl. language training and courses in humanities/social sciences) and free modules.

You can choose modules to create a personalised study programme and thereby focus on the subjects that you find most interesting. A detailed description of the modules that can be taken as part of the Engineering and Management degree programme can be found in the module table (German).

The degree can be completed on a full-time or on a part-time basis while working. Part-timers may or may not be in gainful employment.

In addition to everyday student-life experiences, various events that form  part of the Wing degree programme provide opportunities for diversification and networking, such as:

• Wing events with business partners
• Reports of professional life compiled by Wing graduates (WingNetwork)
• International days with reports on the experiences of students doing a semester abroad
• One-on-one discussions with representatives from the economic sector
• Company visits

Managing value chains across companies represents a huge challenge in a modern, integrated economy. Problems regarding the positioning and integration of value chains, "make-or-buy" decisions and logistics are central issues.

Your task is to scrutinise and re-design existing processes with regard to improving flexibility and streamlining.

Managing and controlling internal and cross-company business processes is becoming increasing  important. The reasons for this include the complexity of the task and the growing dependencies of the people involved.

This major focuses on:

• Designing processes on the basis of objectives and strategies
• Measuring and monitoring efficiency and effectiveness by developing and introducing controlling tools

This major focuses on the interplay between the fields of marketing, product development and sales. You will gain  an overview of all the phases of the product development and order acquisition process and will be in a position to ensure  that  indicators from the business market are acted on quickly and effectively.

With this specialisation, you will be prepared for professional fields of activity centring on the design and improvement of the processes involved in project execution . The spectrum of potential starting points incorporates the use of people, capital, systems, raw materials and purchased parts in processes, and includes the management, continuous improvement and control of these elements. The sector focuses on the manufacturing industry, logistics and trade.

The production engineering specialisation covers the development, design and adjustment of components or assemblies using new production and assembly methods.

As part of the production engineering study programme, you will cover the following elements while taking into account the economic conditions in which  production facilities operate:

• How to analyse, optimise and maintain existing production systems
• How to design new production systems
• How to evaluate, procure and commission production equipment

In technical and economic terms, modern production companies need well-trained employees with practical experience in the respective field. Through your practical work, you will acquire specialist knowledge of production processes and process logistics and be trained in team behaviour, team organisation and team management. With your additional expertise in mechanical design , you will also be able to design and test special production equipment.
