Special features regarding teaching
Industrial Engineering at Constance uses the models Technology Manager or Engineering Entrepreneur as a basis. It is composed of 50 % technical and 50% economics content. The courses provide first-class, practice-related and individual training in Industrial Engineering. Training objective is responsible and broad entrepreneurial thinking.
Special features regarding the international orientation
Industrial Engineering programmes are designed in such a way that stays abroad can be realised easily. Credit recognition is possible especially with respect to compulsory electives, but also in compulsory subjects. Before going abroad, students generally receive commitments regarding the credits obtained abroad. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has a partnership and exchange programme (teachers and students) with the Kettering University Flint (Michigan, USA).
Special features regarding the equipment
Experimental setups during the course which are further developed and run by the students in the lab, increasing the practical relevance of the course. Highly modern facilities are available for research and development topics. A high standard of equipment guarantees fulfilment of the high demands on application-oriented research in the key research areas.
Special features regarding research and development
Research projects in Innovation Management (e.g. CoPS research group) supported by various sponsors promote inter-disciplinary teaching of a wide range of subjects. Technical research laboratories (e.g. model factory, lean production lab, IOX laboratory, materials) are operated together with industrial partners and cooperation companies. This results in pronounced integration of students, many of whom go on to do a doctorate in the field.
Support for founders
Founding laboratory of the Business Informatics degree course to support university spin-offs; a startup weekend is carried out regularly across faculties; start-up support including incubation by Campus Startup; Integration of the department in the Konstanz start-up network, in particular close cooperation with the Konstanz Technology Centre; cooperation with the Bodensee model factory in the area of Industry 4.0 innovations; possibility of using the HTWG's Open Innovation Lab for innovation projects by students; numerous successful spin-offs from Business Informatics
