Industrial Engineering for Electrotechnology / Mechatronics [expiring]
Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.)

During the foundation course  (semesters 1 and 2), you will primarily learn the fundamental mathematical, scientific and business principles. At the end of the foundation course, you decide which technical major you wish to specialise in – electrical and information technology or mechatronics.

The subsequent advanced course (starting in the 3rd semester) focuses on key core and advanced vocational subjects. Major importance is placed on the interplay between theory and practice, as reinforced by the great range of internships offered throughout the programme.

After completing the practical semester , you can study topics such as production automation or supply chain management in greater detail and select specialisations from a broad range of elective subjects.

Language tuition in English or Spanish is also included in the curriculum to reflect the international mosaic that makes up present-day economic life.

You will complete your degree by writing your bachelor’s thesis. Upon successfully completing the programme, the university of applied sciences will award you the academic degree of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) .

Professional environment:

Studying industrial engineering for electrotechnology / mechatronics places you at the interface between business science and electrical/information technology or mechanical engineering. It meets the increasing need in many areas of business for specialists with both business and commercial skills and also advanced technical expertise.

Industrial engineers frequently work in fields such as:

• Product development
• Product and project management
• Sales, procurement und marketing
• Controlling
• Production planning
• Logistics
• Public administration and authorities
• Institutions and associations
• Research facilities

Career prospects:

Ever-shortening innovation cycles, customers’ escalating quality requirements, and international markets and competition demand increasingly multifaceted mindsets from engineers. On top of that comes companies’ growing awareness of their environmental and social responsibility. This broadly based training equips you ideally to tackle the interface tasks presented to industrial engineers.

Your key skillset in understanding both technical and business environments is highly sought after by companies and poises you perfectly to assume managerial roles in the future. The experience you acquire in both disciplines will also stand you in good stead for setting up your own services or manufacturing business. Excellent career prospects abound in Kempten and the Allgäu region, in particular, especially with regard to Bosch, its suppliers and partner companies.
