Preliminary note:

In the beginning of the module manual, the educational targets of the course of study are

presented again and then illustrated by means of an overview table. In the following module

descriptions of the module guide, the reference numbers of the educational targets are referred to.

The graduates of the ISWI-course of studies possess at the secured state of teaching and

research within their specialist field the following expertise (knowledge). They

1. acquired broad basic- and overview-wise knowledge in selected fields of natural- and

engineering sciences with exemplary deepening in theory and practice. Therefore, they

know the foundation and rules of selected engineer disciplines as well as methods of

engineering working methods (knowledge in natural sciences and engineering science),

2. acquired simultaneously a broad basic- and survey knowledge with regard to the essential

fields of business administration and economics, with exemplary deepening in theory and

practice. Therefore, they know the essential tasks of operational functions and understand

the operational, economic and management-related processes as well as their interactions

(economic knowledge),

3. a broad basic and overview knowledge about selected integration subjects connecting, by

virtue of their cross-sectional role, economic, technical and social aspects. They possess

knowledge with regard to coordination, communication, methodology and management

(integrative knowledge),

4. basic knowledge in the area of the empirical science and are familiar with academic work

methods (academic work).

According to the structural provisions of the standing conference of the ministers of education and

cultural affairs, during this Bachelor course of studies no profile distinction is made between "more

strongly research-oriented" and "more strongly application-oriented".

The graduates of the course of study gain the following skills. They are able

5. to identify, abstract, structure and solve technical and economic tasks in a

holistic/integrative manner (cross-linked thinking),

6. to delve into methods and processes in a systematic way, to analyse, evaluate, select and

apply them,

7. to work out, optimise and carry out application-oriented solutions, based on specified

process and data analyses,

8. to carry out literary research and use information from professional sources for their work

as well as collect and interpret relevant secondary and primary data (also investigated in

4

laboratory experiments) in the technical and economic area according to academic

methods (research skills),

9. to judge, plan and select adequate economic and technical systems.

Graduates of the international Bachelor study course Industrial Engineering (ISWI) acquire in

particular the following competences. They can

10. understand and judge the economic, political, social and legal framework conditions of

economy (understanding the economic procedure and environment),

11. understand and are able to evaluate methods of engineering science, systems and

solutions (understanding engineering approaches),

12. take rational and ethically well-founded decisions, think critically, find innovative and

effective solutions for trans-sectional, qualitative and quantitative problems (critical

intellect),

13. express oneself logically and convincingly in verbal and written form and communicate

about contents and problems of the respective discipline with specialised colleagues, also

with regard to foreign languages and other cultures (communication),

14. effectively cooperate across disciplines with other people in different situations, also in the

international environment (cooperation and teamwork),

15. recognise complex tasks in the technical and economic context and solve them across

disciplines, integrally and methodically (interdisciplinary problem-solving and action

competence),

16. applying appropriate academic methods and new results of the engineering science and

economics for practical tasks, while considering economic, ecological, technical and social

requirements (transfer competence),

17. work individually and as member of international groups, organise projects effectively and

implement the same, as well as grow into a corresponding managerial responsibility

(intercultural competence),

18. integrate directly into the professional environment, owing to a sufficient reference to

practise during the course of studies and collaborate with partners at various levels (social

competence),

19. use modern information technologies in an efficient way (IT competence),

20. learn independently and study at an advanced level, based on their Bachelor education

(lifelong learning).

Competency targets (learning results)

The students gain and promote their "professional action competence". Herein, especially three facets, the so-called key competences, such as methodical competence, social competence and self-competence, are promoted. At the same time, the professional competence is deepened and extended by a deepening of subject-wise contents with regard to practical matters. Especially for foreign students, acquiring corresponding intercultural action competence is important. Conveying the following educational aims of the course of studies is expected at least: Competences: 13, 14, 15, 16, 18

Teaching contents

In the context of this module, the students complete an internship at a company. The contents of the practical stage should build forth on the students’ theoretical state of knowledge and complement the same with a view to practise. They familiarise with the elements of the work method, operational organisational structures and information flows, implications of corporate culture for the success of a company and provide in-depth insight in the economic context. The practical stage is prepared through consultations at the centre for practical contacts of the Faculty of Economics. Here, the students can also obtain cues and notes with regard to application procedures. The students choose a mentor for the internship, who acts as consultant during the internship and is able to help in case of questions and problems – together with the centre for practical contacts.

Expatriate experience / cases (intercultural case studies) / presentations

The course discusses the essential particularities of the intercultural experience abroad of managers during and after living abroad and uses the personal experiences of students following their theoretical and practical semester abroad. Here, at the hand of case studies and personal experience, the essential fields of preparing, accompanying and follow-up of foreign deployments are to be elaborated systematically from the perspective of human resource management, just as dealing with typical personal experiences such as "culture shock" and "re-entry shock". Besides introducing theoretical concepts for analysing intercultural experience and their consequence for personal interaction and communication, the course should also facilitate passing on this experience to the subsequent semesters, for their preparation of a semester abroad.

The modular exercise aims at conveying knowledge in a practical Context. Exercises and case studies are integrated during the event relevant to the students' progress. To guarantee the acquisition of competence, the described content of the module will be practised and trained. This is done in the shape of learning units uploaded via the university’s learning platform Ilias, as well as furnishing and looking after a discussion forum on the learning platform. There students' questions and discussions are followed and responded to in accordance with the learning pace.
