Overview
Industrial Engineering, Technology Management
In order to be able to integrate the different requirements and optimize processes in the area of interaction between business and technology, businesses and, in some cases, need administration professionals with technical and business knowledge.
The study field at a glance
Offered courses
Anzeige
Degree programs in this area are primarily industrial engineering, but also technology management, technical sales or project engineering are possible.
In the study often an engineering science - rare natural science or computer science - and economics are studied at the same time. There are numerous specialization possibilities, e.g. in civil engineering, in electrical engineering and information technology, in mechanical engineering, in biotechnology, in logistics or in product management.
The proportion of engineering and business content varies greatly from location to location. Therefore, applicants should inform themselves in detail about the respective profile of the program before starting their studies. Following a course of study, which is usually engineering, it is also possible to complete a course of study or additional studies that includes economics and in some cases other technical subjects.
Contents of the course
The program covers the transfer of economic and social science knowledge as well as training in the chosen engineering-technical direction (for example mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical and process engineering, transport, etc.). In addition, there are economics modules on micro- and macroeconomics, business accounting, marketing, production management, statistics, business law and logistics. Also mathematical modules such as analysis, linear algebra and information technology content are often part of the offer. In the chosen engineering direction, students acquire knowledge of specific engineering and scientific fundamentals.
Admission criteria & study application
Partly pre-practical training in the commercial or technical area is mandatory.
Possible careers after graduation
As interdisciplinary trained specialists at the interfaces between technology and economics, industrial engineers and technology managers work in almost all technical and economic functional areas, such as technical colleges. in sales and marketing, logistics and materials management, production and manufacturing, in building management, in quality management as well as in finance and accounting.
Employment opportunities exist mainly in larger production companies of all industries but also trading companies, consulting and business consulting companies as well as larger transport companies offer jobs. The respective engineering disciplines determine to a high degree the industry in which they can operate.
