Further information provided by the department

Special features regarding teaching

Our courses combine a general and specific compulsory programme with a large number of individual elective options. Particularly in industrial engineering, we enable broad-based acquisition of skills in engineering, business administration and information technology. The basic course is characterised by a strong MINT orientation. This allows students to specialise later on in engineering (production & development) or economics (marketing & controlling and/or corporate management & information systems).

Special features regarding the international orientation

Our faculty has many international contacts at organisational and personnel levels. All study programmes benefit particularly from the experience with the Bachelor's in International Business Administration and Master's in International Marketing & Sales thanks to their emphasis on English-language courses that attract many international students, especially from many of the partner universities. These partnerships thrive on the continuous exchange, particularly by way of visits, joint research and guest lectures; Joint projects with international companies.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, Südafrika; Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norwegen; Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, lorianópolis, Brasilien; Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya, Spanien; Karelia University of Applied Sciences, Joensuu, Finnland; Universitat Politècnica de València, Spanien; Jönköping University, Schweden; "Angel Kanchev" University of Ruse, Bulgarien; Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), Mexiko; Edutus Főiskola, Tatabánya, Ungarn

Special features regarding the equipment

Our faculty offers a variety of courses with different requirements. This creates a wide range of possibilities in terms of technical equipment and subject-specific databases. As concerns technical equipment, we also benefit from the possibilities of the technical departments, particularly Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering. We also maintain separate workstations for Matlab, SPSS, CAD and SAP applications and an Industry 4.0 centre with a learning factor and laboratory. Open-access learning and project rooms for our students round off the range of our services.

Special features regarding research activities

The degree course offers a high level of expertise in quantitative and qualitative empirical research methods and is very well positioned with labs for Industry 4.0, eye tracking and 3D printing. Research is shaped by intelligent and sustainable value creation: By means of artificial intelligence, e.g. reinforcement learning, orders are intelligently controlled and remanufacturing is driven forward. In addition, research is being carried out in the field of predictive health monitoring, AI in production, intelligent drive technology. Another focus area is empirical B2B marketing and negotiation research.

Support for founders

To promote entrepreneurial spirit, the Aalen University has implemented its own programme (GuStL). In the faculty, all students benefit from the experience of small and medium-sized companies in the field of business start-ups. In practical terms, we promote start-ups together with the technical departments of the university and have developed the joint Master's in Business Development especially for entrepreneurial students. Together with our innovation centre and the AAcelerator of our region, we offer student start-ups space, equipment and advice for a successful start.

Other special features

We conduct our own selection procedures for our courses and, as a faculty, deliberately emphasize the selection of applicants. Our focus is on (future) students. This is why we invest in student support and make time for students. This is borne out by a large number of tutorials, exercises and small group sizes.
