Structure
Industrial engineers from Mittweida are flexible practitioners between the disciplines with their own profile.
The study program comprises a total of eight semesters. In the first four semesters you will learn the basics of business administration, economics, law, engineering and mathematics.
The fifth semester is the practical semester, which you complete in a company. A stay abroad is also possible here.
In your specializations, you will attend specialization seminars, work on case studies and participate in project work. You will work both independently and as part of a team to find solutions to current problems.
In addition, your studies will be accompanied by seminars on communication and personality development. In the eighth semester you will complete your studies with your diploma thesis.
Study contents
In your specializations, you attend focus seminars, work on case studies and are involved in project work. You will work both independently and in teams to find solutions to current interdisciplinary problems. In addition, your studies are accompanied by seminars that promote communication and personal development.
Mechanical engineering specialization
Mechanical engineering (as a classical engineering science) refers to a job description that deals with the development, design and manufacture of machines. The most important areas are planning and project management, research and development, construction, assembly and maintenance of plants, vehicle construction, technical purchasing/sales, logistics, consulting, technical expert and technical management.
Industrial engineers specializing in mechanical engineering develop and design machines, vehicles and plants. They supervise production and operation and/or are active in customer service or application service. They demonstrate a high level of interdisciplinary understanding of operational processes and require a strong basic understanding of mathematics and the natural sciences.
Energy management specialization
Energy management is a very broad job description, which is reflected in the respective topics and tasks. The most important areas are energy technology, information and telecommunications technology, automation technology and consumer electronics. Tasks are the planning and operation of energy-technical generation and consumer units, the use of efficiency technologies (reduction of energy consumption), the realization of supply security under environmental protection aspects or sustainability, etc.
Industrial engineers with a specialization in energy management have a distinct interdisciplinary understanding in connection with cost- and material-efficient energy and material flow management. Furthermore, they have a pronounced basic understanding of mathematics and the natural sciences.
Strategic Management specialization
Strategic Management comprises the management level of the company management and/or staff units whose task it is to develop plans/concepts/strategies for the sustainable securing of the future existence and success of a company. The area of responsibility includes company analyses (strategic analysis / situation assessment) as well as the development and implementation of company strategies.
Industrial engineers specializing in strategic management have a strong interdisciplinary understanding of complex management processes. Especially for the area of strategic decision-making, a broad knowledge of engineering, economics and law is imparted. Strategic thinking, decision-making and start-up consulting are focal points of the specialization. Industrial engineers trained in this way are enabled to promote innovations and to accompany technology decisions (e.g. the implementation of innovative company and energy concepts).
Operational Management specialization
Operational management includes the management level of department or functional group managers, whose task is to implement plans by directly influencing the executors. The area of responsibility lies in a timely and factually correct execution of sub-projects, which includes in particular knowledge and skills in the area of process and project management for different areas such as: Procurement, Sales and Logistics.
Industrial engineers specializing in operational management have a strong interdisciplinary understanding in connection with process and project management. This is reinforced by further in-depth skills and knowledge in the area of risk management, information management and corporate governance.
