About

The central aims for the course "Systems Engineering and Engineering Management" arise out of the changed catalogue of requirements in the area of engineering. Changing working procedures and rationalised processes force engineers to be more and more involved with organisational duties. Key qualifications like team and group work, project organisation, communication and presentation thus become steadily more important as parallel skills and activities alongside the classical technical spectrum of requirements. These requirements can be conveyed by combining the fields of engineering, management, and economics. The course offers three different pathways: Electronics, Mechanical, and Mechatronic Systems. Students taking the Electronics pathway will take two electronic modules. Likewise students taking the Mechanical pathway will take two mechanical modules. Students taking the Mechatronics pathway will take one mechanical and one electronic module. The final project module will be related to the pathway subject. The course structure has four subject-based components. These are: Systems engineering Management systems An engineering subject discipline A project based on the pathway Only the engineering subject discipline differentiates the taught elements of the course, the other components are common to all pathways. The engineering discipline bears the pathway name. The programme structure reflects the common generic systems approach to engineering and management. The course treats the systems approach to engineering as generic; this is reflected in the two systems modules: Systems Engineering and Advanced Control Technology. Engineering management is addressed by four modules: Business in Engineering, Technical Publications and Presentations, International Project Management and Integrated Management. Two engineering subject-specific modules define the pathway and focus on the application of the generic system engineering methods in specific application areas. The two electronics modules are Microprocessor based systems and Signal Processing. The two mechanical modules are Monitoring of Mechanical Systems and Advanced Production Engineering. A project module integrates the taught elements of the course. The project can be based on either the engineering pathway or engineering management.
