Bachelor of Engineering

Technisches Produktmanagement - Technisches Design

The world of products is becoming increasingly complex and globally networked. Global supply chains, shorter innovation cycles, diverse functionalities and increasing sustainability requirements place high demands on specialists, particularly in the field of innovative product development. The degree programme teaches technological and organisational system skills that can be used later in the career to efficiently manage complex processes, quickly bring innovative products to market and at the same time ensure economic efficiency, quality and sustainability.

The focus is on the entire life cycle of a product - from brainstorming to conception, engineering & design, production, supply chain, trade, use by the customer and end-of-life. Of particular importance in the development of innovative products is the careful planning of sustainability in order to develop efficient, resource-saving and environmentally friendly products in production, use and reuse.

The degree programme combines technological expertise with the fundamentals of design and economics, thus laying the foundations for the ability to communicate and cooperate with all specialist disciplines involved in the product development process. Graduates have a broad qualification that enables them to develop products and their packaging creatively, responsibly and successfully.

Basic study programme

From the idea to the product: engineering training for practical application

‘Technisches Produktmanagement – Technisches Design’ is a solid technical degree programme leading to a Bachelor of Engineering degree that combines technological expertise, creativity and practical experience. It covers the fundamentals of engineering, system and process skills in product development, materials science, manufacturing technology, production-orientated construction and design as well as economic and creative skills for communication with other disciplines such as design, production, logistics, marketing and sales. There is also a focus on sustainability, for example life cycle assessment, the use of biogenic materials or analysing recycling processes.

A central element of the programme is practical project work in small groups, often in collaboration with industry. Students have the opportunity to experiment with the latest technologies, machines and systems in excellently equipped workshops and laboratories, produce prototypes themselves and test and optimise innovative product ideas.

The ‘Technisches Produktmanagement’ specialisation focuses on the management and support of a product throughout its entire life cycle. It focuses on the legal conformity of products in an international environment, technological and economic understanding throughout the entire product life cycle and the management of the entire product development and creation process, including the associated innovation processes. The aim is to efficiently manage all processes from product development to recycling and to ensure market success.

The ‘Technisches Design von Verpackungssystemen’ degree programme focuses on the development of functional, smart and sustainable packaging solutions. Packaging is viewed as an integral part of a product - as a systemic unit. Technical functionalities, construction, choice of materials, ecological aspects and creative design play a central role. The aim is to develop innovative packaging solutions in terms of technology and design that place particular emphasis on efficient production, logistics, user-friendliness and ecological sustainability.
