Business Engineer, Bachelor of Engineering

As a foundation for your future, the first two semesters will provide you with comprehensive basic knowledge in business administration, engineering technology, mathematics and natural sciences as well as computer science. You combine this with the improvement of your foreign language skills and the expansion of your soft skills, so that you can work successfully both nationally and internationally.

Building on this basic knowledge, you will specialize from the third semester onwards. By choosing your specialization modules, you set your own focus within your studies - depending on your individual interests and abilities. You can choose from three options, all of which are geared towards the demand on the labor market:

• Industrial Engineer:in for Data Science,
• Industrial Engineer:in for Management & sales,
• Industrial Engineer:in for Resources & Production.

The eight-week internship offers you the opportunity to put your acquired knowledge and skills into practice - and perhaps already convince your future employer. In a subsequent 12-week bachelor's phase, you will complete the following

Industrial engineers for data science are anchored at the interfaces between the digital and analog corporate worlds. They support the specialist departments in analyzing and processing large volumes of data in real time, advise on IT security issues and optimize processes and workflows, e.g. in production. Analytical thinking, a high level of problem-solving competence and enthusiasm for complex topics characterize industrial engineers for data science. Industrial engineers for data science are employed in companies in almost all sectors of the economy and in public administration, in software companies and IT service companies that process large volumes of data (big data), and in consulting agencies on topics related to the digital economy in the context of Industry 4.0.

Industrial engineers for management & sales support and coordinate the marketing of cutting-edge technologies. Positioned in the industrial goods market, students in this specialization are required to have economic, legal and psychological skills in addition to technical ones. They are the link between industrial customers and their own company. Willingness to travel, foreign language skills, interest in other cultures and communication skills are prerequisites that an industrial engineer for sales should have.

The field of application of industrial engineers for sales covers all technology-oriented industries (e.g. mechanical and plant engineering, electrical engineering, medical technology, telecommunications and software) with products and services requiring explanation. For the targeted marketing of complex products, they combine technical knowledge with knowledge of market and communication psychology.

As an industrial engineer for resources and production, you design, control and optimize processes and procedures in the company. Based on technical and business management knowledge, you are able to record processes in the company and analyze them with regard to possible optimization of processes, costs or resources, develop measures for improvement and prepare and support their implementation. You are the link between technology and business administration, can support the selection of suitable methods and processes and carry out important considerations regarding cost and resource savings.
