Programme

Organised by Faculty of Management and Engineering

The purpose of the workshop is to familiarise students with various tools and methods in Industrial Engineering to stand the industrial challenges of the next decades via artificial intelligence (e.g. data analysis), management concepts for global companies (international management) as well as product design (gear design). The individualisation of products, organisations and work is reflected in historical development towards the future steps of change (Industry 4.X). Profound leadership skills are highly important in industrial corporations and will be a key part of this class.

The basic concept of this course is to transmit short overviews and insights into today´s tools and methods transitioning fast to practical examples in personal exercises and workshops. The inputs come from actual situations or use cases of the industry.

Recommended Skills: No subject-specific requirements

Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course students should be able to

• understand what is behind the term AI and why data is being referred to as the 'new oil',
• classify and evaluate occurring industrial situations into change and future proof concepts,
• will have a basic understanding of various mechanical transmissions and their usage in different applications,
• understand the challenges of international management: stakeholder management, how to evaluate the performance of international management, ethics in int. management,
• develop an understanding of what does it take to be a successful leader in international setting.

The purpose of the workshop is to familiarise students with sustainability and circular economy - two future challenges. The class will enable students to take sustainability into account in product development, to know about the future challenges and encourages them to bring in their own ideas. We will start the course with a general introduction, and then move over to the practical aspect how to include sustainability in the process of product development. During our company visit, students will learn how to incorporate the issue into a company's philosophy to offer ecological buildings. We will also look at what has already been achieved in Europe and what the future challenges to solve are. By the end, we will develop and pitch ideas for companies together.

Recommended Skills: No subject-specific requirements

Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course students should be able to

• understand the meaning of sustainability and circular economy,
• utilize methods to develop sustainable products,
• understand the global context of sustainability,
• recognize the future challenges,
• develop own ideas for implementation in companies.

Challenges for engineers and designers to create more efficient parts are rising. One way to address this demand is the use of Advanced Design for Additive Manufacturing (ADAM). In recent years, this production method has evolved from prototyping to a serial production process. The most important topic of layer-wise technologies is to take into account the entire end-to-end process.

In this course, the students gain knowledge on this technology and processes. During the week, participants will design and create a device from scratch to take home. Based on practical design and manufacturing lessons in the workshop, all participants get in direct contact with the total process chain.

Recommended Skills:

• Advanced knowledge in 3D-CAD
• Basic knowledge in Additive Manufacturing

Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course students should be able to

• utilize methods in design for layer-wise technology,
• recognize the complete end-to-end process,
• understand the challenges of designing parts and operating machines.

On our Munich excursion and weekend trip, participants are accommodated at Wombat's City Hostel Werksviertel (see website). You will be hosted in 6- and 8-bed-dorms with bunk beds (dorms shared by with same-sex participants).

This hostel is located on a former factory-site and is now in the centre of a dynamic district offering green spaces, urban culture and great places for dinner and nightlife. With the "Ostbahnhof" station just next to it, you are best connected to all attractions of Munich by public transport.

After the first day of classes, a guided city tour will give you orientation in Rosenheim. To reward ourselves, we enjoy a traditional welcome dinner at a Bavarian beer garden. 

Let's enjoy the sunset at the lake Simssee. The lake is set against the picture-perfect landscape of the Alps. If you like, you can jump into the crystal clear water. We bring soft drinks and snacks for dinner.

Let‘s explore the Bavarian state capital Munich on a weekend trip. We start with a guided tour through the halls of the German engineering pioneer BMW Group. We relax with a tasty lunch just before a city tour to the sights and hidden charms of Munich. In the afternoon, you can go out to enjoy the excellent shopping opportunities and summer nightlife on your own.

On Sunday, you have more time to visit the beauties of Munich and to stop for a coffee at the English Garden.
