Program description
Content
The international master study course “Mechanical Engineering and Management“ gives students with a bachelor´s degree in mechanical engineering or similar the opportunity to build up an individual profile within two specializations.
In the first specialization students gain basic knowledge in management, business administration, accounting as well as in specialized management topics, such as corporate management, human resources or logistics.
For the second specialization students can choose between three main topics: Materials, Mechatronics, or Product Development and Production. Because of the material behavior and its great impact on product design and manufacturing, the Materials specialization represents a bridge between natural science and engineering science. The Mechatronics specialization represents an interdisciplinary field between mechanics, electronics and computer science. The last specialization, Product Development and Production, includes the computation as well as the manufacturing of products. Therefore not only the structure of the master study course is interdisciplinary, but also its specializations.
Career prospects
The international master study course "Mechanical Engineering and Management" prepares graduates for a wide range of job profiles in international operating companies and in service providers, such as consulting. They are able to work as a facilitator between technical and business sectors and to take leading positions as technical and executive managers with budget and personnel responsibilities. The program is designed to be diverse and allows graduates to work in a variety of different industrial sectors (especially in mechanical engineering) and with different products and services. Graduates may decide for direct entry into companies or to take up academic careers, e.g. Ph.D. studies, in universities or other research institutions.
Learning target
They are able to work independently in fields of mechanical engineering and management as well as in their interface. They can use their interdisciplinary understanding to evaluate and to critically question results and findings in management and mechanical engineering. Based upon these they can also make decisions and draw further conclusions. They are able to act methodically, to organize smaller projects, to select scientific methods and to advance these further, if necessary. They´re also qualified to work on challenging projects by considering and verifying existing information in two of these specializations:
- Management
- Materials
- Mechatronics
- Product Development and Production
In the following the learning target is divided in knowledge, skills, social skills and independence.
Knowledge
- Graduates have gained specialized interdisciplinary knowledge with broad theoretical and methodical foundations. This includes especially the compulsory courses in the first semester, in which they learn about Robotics, Computer Aided Design and Computation and Multiphase Materials.
- They have a fundamental understanding of business administration as well as special knowledge about diverse topics, such as marketing, intercultural communication or project management. They can describe different methods and current research in these fields.
- They are able to explain principles, methods and applications in detail of two engineering specializations. The engineering specializations are Materials, Mechatronics and Product Development and Production.
- They have gained basic knowledge in non-technical topics. Non-native German speaking graduates also learned the fundamentals of German language.
- They know the state of the art in their chosen specializations and can give an overview of applications in industry and research.
Skills
For all specializations
- Graduates are able to use their interdisciplinary understanding to solve complex problems through integrative linking. They can identify implications between economy and technology, mediate between these sectors and perform operative and strategic tasks.
- They are able to transfer their theoretical knowledge into practice, analyse management problems in complex corporate situations as well as to choose between advanced methods and procedures of material sience, mechatronics or computation and production and to use them for complex problems.
- They can estimate and evaluate future technologies, materials, methods and scientific findings and are able to research independently (qualified for Ph.D. studies).
Management specialization
- Graduates of the Management specialization are able to evaluate necessary business and financial key figures and to make decisions based on these.
- They are able to use diverse methods and techniques of management and business administration successfully for different tasks.
Materials specialization
- Graduates of the Materials can identify new application fields of materials and make choices between different materials in consideration of functions, cost and quality.
- They can calculate several material parameters and make constructive decisions upon these calculations.
Mechatronics specialization
- Graduates of the Mechatronics specialization can solve mechatronic tasks as well as design tasks systematically and methodically.
- They are able to use their knowledge about current methods, automation and simulation to analyze systems, evaluate the findings and to choose between different strategies to solve the task.
Product Development and Production specialization
- Graduates of the Product Development and Production specialization can choose between diverse manufacturing and production processes in consideration of geometry, failure control and cost.
- They are able to design, calculate and simulate according to the current state of the art.
Social Skills
- Graduates are able describe techniques, methods and findings of their work verbally and in written form in English.
- They can communicate with experts of their chosen disciplines and in their interdisciplinary interface as well as with lay persons about advanced contents and issues in English. They can also react appropriately to questions and comments.
- They are able to work in team. For this they can define, distribute and integrate subtasks and arrange team meetings. They can interact socially and are capable of taking leading positions.
Autonomy
- Graduates are capable of finding necessary information, extending their knowledge in technical, economic and social topics and putting these into context with their knowledge.
- They can systematically reflect the non-technical consequences of their work and can put their actions into socio-economic context.
- They can estimate their own strengths and weaknesses as well as possible consequences of their actions. They can compensate deficits and extend their knowledge independently as far as necessary.
- They can work self-organized and self-motivated in different research fields and find, analyze and define concrete problems within (lifelong learning).
Program structure
The course is designed modular and is based on the university-wide standardized course structure with uniform module sizes (multiples of six credit points (CP)). The course combines the engineering and management disciplines and allows the deepening in two of four specializations. The students can broadly personalize their studies due to high number and variety of elective courses.
In the common core skills, students take the following modules:
- Computer Aided Design and Computation (6 CP)
- Fibre-polymer-composites (6 CP)
- Robotics (6 CP)
- Management and complementary technical elective courses or an internship can be choosen (12 CP)
- Complementary courses business and management (catalog) (6 CP)
- Complementary nontechnical elective courses (catalog) (6 CP), of that 4 CP are intended for German classes
Students specialize by selecting two of the following areas, each covering 18 credit points. Students have to choose the Management specialization. Solely students of the Northern Institute of Technology have to choose two engineering specializations:
- Management (18 CP)
- Materials (18 CP)
- Mechatronics (18 CP)
- Product Development and Production (18 CP)
Within each area of specialization students can choose within a catalogue of modules (each 6 CP).
Students write also a master thesis and one additional scientific project work.
- Research Project (12 CP)
- Master thesis (30 CP)
Core qualification
The core qualification provides the basic fundamentals for the four spcializations and also includes a catalogue of nontechnical elective complementary courses. For all three engineering specializations (Materials, Mechatronics, Product Development and Production) a compulsory module ist included. As preparation for the Management spezialization students choose three lecuters from the Business and Management catalogue and can also choose up to two more management related modules. Alternatively technical complementary courses or an internship can be chosen here. In total two modules has to be chosen.

Contents Business-to-business (B2B) markets play an important role in most economies. At the same time, B2B markets differ strongly from consumer goods markets. For example, companies’ buying decisions follow different rules than those of consuming individuals. Consequently, marketing mix decisions in B2B markets need to follow the specific circumstances in such markets. The aim of this lecture is to enable students to understand the specifics of marketing in B2B markets. At the beginning, students learn which strategic marketing decisions may be most appropriate in industrial markets. Following that, the lecture will focus more on different options to design marketing mix elements - Pricing, Communication and Distribution - in B2B markets. We extend the student’s basic knowhow in marketing and focus on the specific requirements in B2B markets. Topics

Content | This course aims at deepening and applying the subjects taught in the lectures "Business-to-Business Marketing" and "Intercultural Communication". Students work on case studies in teams comprising 2-3 people. The case will enable the student teams to analyze problems, to discuss theoretical framworks and scientific results, to evaluate decisions made in companies and/or to develop own ideas for solutions. Each of these cases is related to a specific topic that has been tackled in the other two lectures of this module. The cases can comprise scientific studies or specific company examples (e.g. how company X built up a new salesforce; how company Y designed a successful communication campaign for other countries, how research study Z contributes to the understanding of intercultural differences). The student teams receive material (e.g. scientific articles, press articles) and work with this material to complete presentation documents. The results will be illustrated and discussed in a short presentation. |

Globalization of business processes and the revolution in information and communication technologies (ICT) have resulted in distributed workflows across geographic boundaries. These developments as well as increased immigration emanating, for example, as a consequence of a shortage of skilled labour in many industrialized nations, have led to the creation of (virtual) multi-cultural, multi-ethnic teams with diverse cultural backgrounds. Such diversity generally has a positive impact on creativity and innovativeness, as many empirical studies confirm. Nevertheless, varying cultural practices, communication styles, and contextual sensibilities have the potential to disturb or even disrupt collaborative work processes, if left unmanaged. This course focuses on inter-cultural management Some of the main topics covered in this course include:

Professional Competence | |
Knowledge |
The Nontechnical Academic Programms (NTA) imparts skills that, in view of the TUHH’s training profile, professional engineering studies require but are not able to cover fully. Self-reliance, self-management, collaboration and professional and personnel management competences. The department implements these training objectives in its teaching architecture, in its teaching and learning arrangements, in teaching areas and by means of teaching offerings in which students can qualify by opting for specific competences and a competence level at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level. The teaching offerings are pooled in two different catalogues for nontechnical complementary courses. The Learning Architecture consists of a cross-disciplinarily study offering. The centrally designed teaching offering ensures that courses in the nontechnical academic programms follow the specific profiling of TUHH degree courses. The learning architecture demands and trains independent educational planning as regards the individual development of competences. It also provides orientation knowledge in the form of “profiles”. The subjects that can be studied in parallel throughout the student’s entire study program - if need be, it can be studied in one to two semesters. In view of the adaptation problems that individuals commonly face in their first semesters after making the transition from school to university and in order to encourage individually planned semesters abroad, there is no obligation to study these subjects in one or two specific semesters during the course of studies. Teaching and Learning Arrangements provide for students, separated into B.Sc. and M.Sc., to learn with and from each other across semesters. The challenge of dealing with interdisciplinarity and a variety of stages of learning in courses are part of the learning architecture and are deliberately encouraged in specific courses. Fields of Teaching are based on research findings from the academic disciplines cultural studies, social studies, arts, historical studies, communication studies, migration studies and sustainability research, and from engineering didactics. In addition, from the winter semester 2014/15 students on all Bachelor’s courses will have the opportunity to learn about business management and start-ups in a goal-oriented way. The fields of teaching are augmented by soft skills offers and a foreign language offer. Here, the focus is on encouraging goal-oriented communication skills, e.g. the skills required by outgoing engineers in international and intercultural situations. The Competence Level of the courses offered in this area is different as regards the basic training objective in the Bachelor’s and Master’s fields. These differences are reflected in the practical examples used, in content topics that refer to different professional application contexts, and in the higher scientific and theoretical level of abstraction in the B.Sc. This is also reflected in the different quality of soft skills, which relate to the different team positions and different group leadership functions of Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates in their future working life.

The course consists of three parts: During the first part of the course, participants are provided with insights into the market for ERP-Software and are provided with knowledge on how ERP-implementation projects proceed and how these projects should ideally be managed from a theoretical and practical perspective.Participants are introduced into the basic functioning of ERP-Software referring to the most common system (SAP). Participants gain a basic understanding of implementing organizational data, master data and processes into the system. The second part of the course involves working on a seminar thesis which takes place parallel to the first rather lecture-type sessions. Participants are in teams invited to design a theoretical concept for the functioning of certain business units within the firm (e.g. procurement, production, sales and distribution). Their concept should then be incorporated into both, a seminar thesis to be handed in and a first short presentation to be held in the seminar in the middle of the semester. During the third part of the course, participants implement their theoretical concept into the ERP-System, i.e. they customize the SAP system according to the theoretical requirements defined. In the context of this process, the participants are encouraged to critically evaluate the software options in light of a theoretically ideal design of business functions and processes. This third part of the course is designed in the form of mini-presentations by each team of participants giving an overview of the progress and critical evaluations made in implementing the theoretical concept into the system.

Participants will understand the use, requirements, advantages and disadvantages of quantitative methods. Examples illustrate the application of quantitative methods and their use to address business related problems. The course involves three parts: The first part of the course focuses on an introduction of quantitative research methods. The second part of the course involves working on a seminar thesis. Participants are in teams invited to describe selected quantitative research methods and to address simple research questions with the described method. Students are expected to write a short (empirical) paper that applies methods learned in this course to a research question of their choice. The third part is the final presentations of the results from the group work. Participants will present their own small research projects and discuss the results in the plenum. Participants are invited to join the discussions as a part of the final grade. |

Important note: This course is part of an 6 ECTS module
consisting of two courses "Entrepreneurship” & “Creation of Business
Opportunities”, which have to be taken together in one semester. Startups are temporary, team-based organizations, which can form both
within and outside of established companies, to pursue one central
objective: taking a new venture idea to market by designing a business
model that can be scaled to a full-grown company. In this
course, students will form startup teams around self-selected ideas and
run through the process just like real startups would do in the first
three months of intensive work. Startup Engineering takes an incremental
and iterative approach, in that it favors variety and alternatives over
one detailed, linear five-year business plan to reach steady state
operations. From a problem solving and systems thinking perspective,
student teams create different possible versions of a new venture and
alternative hypotheses about value creation for customers and value
capture vis-à-vis competitors. To test critical hypotheses early on,
student teams engage in an evidence-based, experimental trial-and-error
learning process that measures real progress. |

Content |
This is a 4 ECTS course as part of the module “Corporate
Entrepreneurship & Growth”. Emerging paradigms of digital
technology, such as industrial internet of things, blockchain,
artificial intelligence, digital fabrication and 3D printing, are
fundamentally transforming the competitive landscape and the nature of
many companies in a wide range of industries. Where digital technologies
become critical to the development of new products, services and
business models, incumbent corporations in traditional industries
suddenly face entirely new competition from purely digital players.
Building a corporate capability to master digital innovation becomes a
key success factor to establish and maintain market leadership. This
course places students into the role of corporate managers, who need to
understand the strategic implications of new digital
technology, identify organizational strengths and barriers to (re-) act,
design new business models that may fundamentally clash with existing
ones, and organize broader digital transformation initiatives. We will draw upon recent international scientific findings from the context of digital corporate venturing. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: · Derive industry-specific implications of digital technologies for value creation and capture. · Identify organizational sources of corporate (non-) responsiveness to digital opportunities. · Contribute to the design and implementation of digitally enhanced business models. · Evaluate options of organizational transformation by corporate venturing as well as open platforms and ecosystems. · Contribute to organization and leadership of corporate-wide digital transformation initiatives. Course language is English. In this course, value is created interactively, that means it mainly consists of student presentations and group discussions, structured and moderated by the instructors. This in turn requires that everyone has prepared the relevant materials in advance of each session. Please devote significant time to do so! All the great ideas relevant to this course topic cannot be found in a single textbook. Therefore, we have curated an up-to-date and colourful mix of materials in two different kinds: (1) academic & managerial papers, and (2) case studies. Please refer to the detailed course schedule for the assignment of paper presentations and case memos to specific participants. For your paper presentations you may also include additional references, whereas the case memos should only be based on the cases. Even if you are not assigned a specific paper or case, you should have prepared core materials to participate in the discussion. For the common team project, we cooperate with real companies from the Hamburg metropolitan region to contribute to their strategic intent of embracing new digital technology. Student assessment will be based on four aspects with the following grading scheme: · 20%: Participation in class discussions on papers and case studies. · 20%: One paper presentation of 20 minutes length plus 10 minutes discussion: 20%. · 20%: Two case memos (2 pages) that summarize in bullet points your answers to assigned questions for two case studies. · 40%: Final project on a real digital transformation project delivered as 30 minutes presentation plus 15 minutes discussion by teams of four students. |

Content |
This course examines the elements of entrepreneurial finance, focusing on technology-based start-up ventures and the early stages of company development. The course addresses key questions relevant to both startup and corporate entrepreneurs: How much money can and should be raised? When should it be raised and from whom? What is a reasonable valuation of the company? How should funding, employment contracts and exit decisions be structured? This course will focus on the finance principles related to the risk & return of venture capital, the valuation of high growth companies, the capital structure specific to venture capital-backed companies, and investment decisions under uncertainty. Three main topics will be covered: (1) New business opportunity valuation: Most time will be devoted to the understanding and application of tools to valuate early stage business opportunities and high-growth companies versus mature companies. Standard tools for financial and liquidity planning as well as discounted cash flow valuation will be applied to startup situations. Furthermore, the venture capital method, analysis of comparables and the real options approach to valuation are introduced. (2) Financing and employment contracts: We will discuss the main sources of financing that entrepreneurs can choose from. Particular emphasis will be put on venture capital funds and their fund raising process. The design of financial contracts will be analyzed in terms of addressing information and incentive problems in uncertain environments. Employment contracts will be motivated as a compensation device to attract and retain key employees. (3) Growth and exit strategies: We will discuss entrepreneurs’ option to grow or exit. Liquidity events are considered such as initial public offering, sale or merger as compared to independent growth as a private company. We also examine later stage options such as mezzanine financing and buy-outs and the specifics of international growth. Guest lecturers will present the latest trends in these areas. The ideal audience for the course will be students who are interested in technology entrepreneurship, either at startups or within larger organizations. It is also useful for those pursuing careers in corporate finance or valuation consulting. |

This class will cover the principles of dislocation theory from a physical metallurgy perspective, providing a fundamental understanding of the relations between the strength and of crystalline solids and distributions of defects. We will review the concept of dislocations, defining terminology used, and providing an overview of important concepts (e.g. linear elasticity, stress-strain relations, and stress transformations) for theory development. We will develop the theory of dislocation plasticity through derived stress-strain fields, associated self-energies, and the induced forces on dislocations due to internal and externally applied stresses. Dislocation structure will be discussed, including core models, stacking faults, and dislocation arrays (including grain boundary descriptions). Mechanisms of dislocation multiplication and strengthening will be covered along with general principles of creep and strain rate sensitivity. Final topics will include non-FCC dislocations, emphasizing the differences in structure and corresponding implications on dislocation mobility and macroscopic mechanical behavior; and dislocations in finite volumes. |

Biological materials are omnipresent in the world around us. They are the main constituents in plant and animal bodies and have a diversity of functions. A fundamental function is obviously mechanical providing protection and support for the body. But biological materials may also serve as ion reservoirs (bone is a typical example), as chemical barriers (like cell membranes), have catalytic function (such as enzymes), transfer chemical into kinetic energy (such as the muscle), etc.This lecture will focus on materials with a primarily (passive) mechanical function: cellulose tissues (such as wood), collagen tissues (such as tendon or cornea), mineralized tissues (such as bone, dentin and glass sponges). The main goal is to give an introduction to the current knowledge of the structure in these materials and how these structures relate to their (mostly mechanical) functions. |
