Information about the focus
Studying Engineering & Management – What does that mean?
Engineering & Management in Industrial Engineering combines technological expertise and business skills. Through specialized modules, students are prepared for participation in, and eventually leading, complex technical projects, understanding strategic decisions, and developing innovative solutions at the intersection of technology and management. The goal is to educate graduates who can tackle engineering challenges with a business-oriented approach to enhance technological progress and operational efficiency.
In the fourth semester by the subject Technical Mechanics 2: Kinematics and Kinetics, which deals with the movement of bodies and is central to understanding mechanical systems.
This is followed in the fifth semester, one of the core subjects, numerical methods, deepens the mathematical foundations essential for advanced technical applications, as many problems, such as optimization issues, can only be approximately solved with the help of computers.
In the sixth semester, Electronics is on the agenda, upon which a large part of current technological developments up to the digital transformation of society is based.
Finally, in the seventh semester, the focus is rounded off with a module in Technology and Innovation Management, which teaches students important skills for leading forward-looking projects and developing new technological solutions.
Overview of focus modules:
4th Sem.: Technical Mechanics 2: Kinematics and Kinetics
5th Sem.: Numerical Methods
6th Sem.: Electronics including lab events
7th Sem.: Technology and Innovation Management
Graduates who have chosen Engineering & Management as their focus for their studies open up diverse career paths in a wide range of technical industries and management areas.
They can take on crucial positions in technical project management and strategic management or participate in the development of innovative technologies.
