Project Engineering

Anyone who likes to organise, is a tech head and aims to take responsibility for technical projects with regard to industry 4.0, data networking and digitisation will be enthusiastic about the Project Engineering course. In an ideal combination of theoretical phases at the DHBW Mannheim and practical units with their corporate partner, our students acquire interdisciplinary know-how preparing them for a steep career path – in any industry and around the world. And all this on a state-of-the-art campus with laboratories and workshops where they can conduct research, experiment and carry out exciting projects.

Projects have a beginning with a clearly defined goal, follow a sometimes complex course, and then come to an end or continue on into subsequent projects. This involves experts from different disciplines – sometimes three, sometimes three thousand. Who maintains the overview? Project engineers. They manage and organise technical projects and keep communication going, i.e. they form the core control centre that controls the individual processes. In order to successfully fulfil this task, our students acquire the relevant fundamental knowledge from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automation, theory of industry 4.0, digitisation, project management, business administration, conflict management as well as negotiation and leadership skills. Since companies, some of which operate internationally, require good foreign language skills, this content is also reflected in the curriculum.
