Provides mathematical fundamentals for engineering problems, including functions, differential and integral calculus, and differential equations with a strong focus on technical applications.

Introduces electrical and magnetic principles, DC and AC circuits, semiconductors and electronic components, forming a foundation for understanding technical systems and sustainable energy solutions.

Covers fundamental physical concepts such as mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, combining theory with experiments and technical applications.

Introduction to statics of rigid bodies. Forces, moments and loads form the basis for understanding technical products.

Conveys fundamental knowledge of business administration and economics and promotes holistic managerial thinking. Students learn to analyze entrepreneurial processes based on facts and to make goal-oriented decisions.

Practice-oriented project including simulations and teamwork, fostering entrepreneurial thinking and innovative business ideas.

Deepens mathematical methods such as matrices, power series, and multivariable calculus for advanced engineering applications.

Introduction to computer science, programming, and digitalization, focusing on software-based solutions for technical problems.

An introduction to the development of technical products, as well as the design and standard-compliant representation of components and assemblies. In addition to a systematic approach to the product development process—from concept to production—students learn how to select tolerances, fits, and surface characteristics appropriate for the intended function, how to perform tolerance analyses, and how to design for manufacturability. 

This module examines the relationships between atomic structure, microstructure and the resulting material properties. Topics include crystallography, deformation, phase diagrams, heat treatment and materials testing for engineering applications.

Introduces project and quality management methods, focusing on planning, control, processes, and quality standards in practice.

Covers fundamentals of financial accounting and annual financial statements, enabling an understanding of economic relationships and financial indicators.

Introduces statistics, probability theory, and data analysis, enabling students to evaluate data and derive well-founded decisions.

Introduces software development with a focus on Python, covering programming concepts, software structure, testing, and systematic problem-solving.

Builds on TM1 with a focus on strength of materials and component design. Stress, deformation and material behavior are analyzed.

Provides an overview of industrial manufacturing processes, from forming to joining, including machines, processes, and sustainable production.

Introduces market-oriented management, covering market analysis, marketing strategies, and the effective use of marketing instruments.

Conveys methods of cost accounting and controlling. Students learn, among other things, to make managerial decisions from a cost perspective and to carry out variance analyses.

Module in English. Introduction to business information systems and IT infrastructures. Covers ERP, CRM and SCM systems and their role in digital, data-driven business processes.

Introduces control engineering, PLC programming, and industrial automation in modern production systems.

The Production Engineering module provides fundamental knowledge about machines, production and assembly systems, and their use in industry. It also covers digital transformation, sustainability, and the economic as well as organizational aspects of modern production processes.

This module introduces the planning and design of modern factories, covering factory concepts, site and layout planning, material flows, and ergonomic, economic, and sustainability aspects.

Application-oriented team project focusing on practical tasks, strengthening methodological skills, teamwork, and presentation abilities.

The internship semester deepens the skills acquired during theoretical coursework. It allows students to apply what they have learned and to gain professional experience. The 20-week internship must be performed during the second phase of the course after meeting the prerequisites for advancement. 

A three-day intensive course focused on professional skills, including field trips, workshops, and seminars on topics such as facilitation, presentation, conflict management, public speaking, academic writing, and ethics.

This seminar prepares students for the bachelor’s thesis by covering scientific working methods, topic selection, research methodology, literature review, and structured presentation of results.

The bachelor’s thesis is an independent, scientifically sound project addressing a practical engineering problem. Students analyze a real-world task, document their results, and present them at the end.
