Masterkurse

Students will get to know theories on cultures and intercultural communication and understand the historical genesis of communication differences. The students perceive cultural differences in communication for concrete situations and can reflect, adapt and optimize their own personal behaviour. Students are capable to cope with cultural diversity in given communication settings with focus on business related situations.

Competences

Students will gain knowledge in the areas of applications in various manufacturing concepts, in the engineering of flexible and reconfigurable production and automation systems. Additionally, they will become acquainted with innovative digitalization and networking approaches and engineering methods for industrial eco-systems based on Industry 4.0 approaches (e.g. the Reference Architecture Model for Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0 – DIN SPEC 91345) and the Industrial Internet-of-Things Reference-Architecture (IIoT)).

The course brings together diverse disciplines in a comprehensive manner, enabling students to develop a meaningful understanding of the complex associations and influences within a topic, thus project-based learning is an essential element.

Course for the project Participation in the ERPsim Challenge, a business game played on SAP S4HANA. The competition is organized by the HEC in Montreal and supported by SAP UA. The project is planned to be done jointly with the University of Applied Sciences Kiel. Participation is possible for all TM/BIDA students (current or former) enrolled in ERP-Systems by Prof. Pechmann or Dr. Koch.
The course/project starts at the end of March.
