Program description

Content

Economic development with its swift changes in products and processes has led to a considerable transformation of inter-company division of labor. Today, cross-enterprise supply chains in which complex production processes must be planned, shaped, and controlled characterize this division of labor. Transportation, transshipment, and storage play a decisive role in this process.

Conducting business successfully under these framework conditions is made possible by the interaction of innovative technical systems, information and communication technologies, and management strategies. That is why the study program for a BSc in Logistics and Mobility, which prepares students for this area of business is focused on an extensive interdisciplinary basic knowledge of science, engineering, and business management. In the course of their studies students learn how to deal with issues arising from logistics and transport planning.




Career prospects

Graduates can embark directly on a career in logistics or transport planning. The study program prepares them for independent and collaborative work and for work in positions of responsibility.

Possible employers include logistics industry enterprises, manufacturing industry and commerce, engineering and planning firms, transport companies, construction companies, infrastructure management and the public sector (especially in transport planning).

At the Hamburg University of Technology Graduates can follow on from their BSc in Logistics and Mobility and study among others for a MSc in "Logistics, Infrastructure, and Mobility" or a MSc in "International Management and Engineering". 


Learning target

The acquired competences enable graduates to analyze, shape, and control logistics and transportation systems by means of their wide-ranging, in-depth technical and management expertise and the methods they have learnt. Integrated and analytic thinking enables them to make sense of and optimize connected processes. Graduates are able to plan and control the flow systems - of goods, people, information, and money - that are needed for manufacturing goods and providing services and to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical issues. Due to the program’s alignment to basics of engineering and business management graduates are able to solve technical problems, to devise new technical systems for logistics and transportation systems, and to evaluate them in economic terms.

Personal competences are another important part of the study program. Students are prepared by group assignments and project work to work their way into problems either individually or in teams and to solve them either on their own or in collaboration with other members of the team. On completion of their studies they are able to formulate their findings precisely in writing and to present them in an appropriate manner to an (expert) audience. Graduates are able to apply methods of scientific work reliably and are thus qualified to work in research or to deepen their competences by studying for a second degree.


Program structure

The study program is structured into the "core qualification", the "Specialisation Engineering Science", the "Specialisation Logistics and Mobility" and the Thesis.

In the core qualification students are tought the basics of mathematics, engineering science, business administration and logistics and mobility. The core qualification is completed by nontechnical complementary courses and a project course in the fifth semester for preparing students for the bachelor thesis.

In the specialisation engineering science students have the possibility to chose two courses out of nine selectables for the fifth and sixth semester to deepen their knowledge in the respective technical field.

In the specialisation logistics and mobility students can chose four out of eight selectables of the fields of logistics and traffic planning to deepen their knowledge in the respective fields.

The bachelor thesis takes place in the sixth semester.

Core Qualification

Students gain basic knowledge as well as deepend skills in mathematics and business administration.

Educational Objectives After taking part successfully, students have reached the following learning results
Professional Competence
Knowledge

The Non-technical 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, migration studies, communication 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.

Specialized Competence (Knowledge)

Students can

  • locate selected specialized areas with the relevant non-technical mother discipline,
  • outline basic theories, categories, terminology, models, concepts or artistic techniques in the disciplines represented in the learning area,
  • different specialist disciplines relate to their own discipline and differentiate it as well as make connections, 
  • sketch the basic outlines of how scientific disciplines, paradigms, models, instruments, methods and forms of representation in the specialized sciences are subject to individual and socio-cultural interpretation and historicity,
  • Can communicate in a foreign language in a manner appropriate to the subject.
Skills

Professional Competence (Skills)

In selected sub-areas students can

  • apply basic methods of the said scientific disciplines,
  • auestion a specific technical phenomena, models, theories from the viewpoint of another, aforementioned specialist discipline,
  • to handle simple questions in aforementioned scientific disciplines in a sucsessful manner,
  • justify their decisions on forms of organization and application in practical questions in contexts that go beyond the technical relationship to the subject.
Personal Competence
Social Competence

Personal Competences (Social Skills)

Students will be able

  • to learn to collaborate in different manner,
  • to present and analyze problems in the abovementioned fields in a partner or group situation in a manner appropriate to the addressees,
  • to express themselves competently, in a culturally appropriate and gender-sensitive manner in the language of the country (as far as this study-focus would be chosen), 
  • to explain nontechnical items to auditorium with technical background knowledge.


Autonomy

Personal Competences (Self-reliance)

Students are able in selected areas

  • to reflect on their own profession and professionalism in the context of real-life fields of application
  • to organize themselves and their own learning processes      
  • to reflect and decide questions in front of a broad education background
  • to communicate a nontechnical item in a competent way in writen form or verbaly
  • to organize themselves as an entrepreneurial subject country (as far as this study-focus would be chosen)

The exercise consists of two parts. In the first part, the topics presented in the lecture are deepened by means of guided quantitative group exercises.

In the second part of the exercise, students work on a topic throughout the semester in the context of research-based learning.

This takes place in so-called research-based learning: "Research-based learning is characterized [...] by the fact that the students (co-)design, experience and reflect on the process of a research project, which is aimed at gaining knowledge that is also of interest to third parties, in its essential phases - from the development of questions and hypotheses to the selection and execution of methods to the examination and presentation of the results in independent work or in active participation in a comprehensive project" (translated from German / Huber 2009, p.11).

The students apply the knowledge they have acquired in the course of two written papers. These written assignments are carried out as group work. 

The contents of the written papers deal, for example, with the presentation of the entire maritime supply chain of different types of goods, such as containers, crude oil, project cargo or RoRo.

Students can achieve a total of up to 10% for both written papers.

The seminar "Gamification of Strategic Thinking" is offered as part of the elective course of studies "Logistics and Mobility" and currently offers space for 25 students. In cooperation with the German Armed Forces Command and Staff College, the seminar aims to teach strategic methods within the framework of a wargaming approach. For this purpose, the course consists of two blocks, which take place parallel to each other throughout the semester. In the theoretical block, students are taught the basics of various methods for strategy development and management (including SWOT analysis, SCRUM or Kanban). In the second block, the students apply the methods they have learned on the basis of the board game "Sycthe". For this, the students are divided into five groups with five members each. Each of these groups plays a "party" of the board game and is supposed to develop a strategy with the help of the learned methods that helps the respective team to win. Afterwards, the experiences will be reflected upon by means of a written elaboration and a proposal for an own business wargame will be developed.

Content

The course involves two main 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. In addition, participants are provided with an understanding of business functions and processes by means of visiting the TUHH model factory. In the model factory, participants and are solving special business cases on the basis of group-specific tasks. Finally, 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. 

During the second phase of this course, the students work independently in groups on deepening challenges, which conceptually build up on the executed case studies from phase one. Using the knowledge from phase one, the students are able to transfer the theoretical knowledge on the practical execution of the challes in SAP. The results of the group work will be presented in phase two.


Literature

Participants will be provided with a course handout in the form of ppt.-slides which can be downloaded in advance. Further literature references regarding the theoretical concepts are not provided (as this is part of the challenge in writing the thesis); literature references with regard to the ERP-System used are as follows:

General description of course content and course goals

The course aims at preparing students for a potential career as an entrepreneur. It starts with theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship and the impact of new ventures on innovation, technological progress and economic development. In the following sessions on business planning, students learn which strategic entrepreneurial decisions have to be made by entrepreneurs. They get to know how to develop and evaluate business ideas and business models, how to write a business plan, and how to obtain financing. Additionally, the course includes lessons about managing the new venture in the post-formation phase (especially on marketing and organizational development). The course content is based on recent results of entrepreneurship research, real-life examples, and also includes guest lectures from entrepreneurial practice.

Summarizing the most important contents

The course provides answers to the following fundamental questions of entrepreneurship theory and practice:

  • Which constituent elements define an entrepreneur?
  • Which specific personality traits and behaviors are attributed to entrepreneurs?
  • How can we describe and structure the new venture formation process?
  • What are critical success factors of entrepreneurs and what are potential barriers to success?
  • What are the latest developments of entrepreneurship in Germany, the economic meaning of new ventures, and the role of political and educational support and funding?
  • How can we develop and evaluate business ideas and business models?
  • Which strategic decisions have to be made by entrepreneurs in the business planning process (regarding law and taxation, market analysis, growth strategies, location, networks, and strategic partnerships)?
  • What makes a good business plan and how to obtain new venture financing?
  • How to manage the new venture in the post-formation phase (leadership, entrepreneurial team, marketing, and organizational development)?


Knowledge

Students can...

  • Understand what an entrepreneur is and which economic impact entrepreneurship has.
  • Define fundamental terms and explain important theories in entrepreneurship research.
  • Analyze key decisions in important areas of entrepreneurship and new venture management (e.g. financing, marketing, team formation).
  • Evaluate business ideas, business models, and business plans.
  • Make connections between different entrepreneurial areas of decision making in the pre- and post-foundation phase of a new venture and analyze potential reciprocal effects.

Skills

Students are capable of...

  • Simultaneously considering multiple factors and taking reasoned actions in entrepreneurial decision-making (Idea generation and evaluation, business planning, financing, law and taxation, market analysis, growth strategies, location, networks, and strategic partnerships).
  • Making well-grounded decisions regarding main functional business areas in realistic entrepreneurial situations (marketing, leadership, organization, entrepreneurial team, organizational development).

Social Competence

Students can...

  • Provide appropriate feedback and handle feedback on their own performance constructively.
  • Enter into a dialogue with formerly unknown fellow students, participate in discussions, and present well-grounded arguments.
  • Constructively interact with guest speakers and learn from their practical experiences.

Self-Reliance

Students are able to...

  • Evaluate consequences of a potential career as entrepreneur and state pros and cons of being an entrepreneur.
  • Specify own strengths and weaknesses with regard to general entrepreneurial tasks in the new venture process.
  • Justify and make decisions in entrepreneurial situations with the help from teachers as well as define tasks and acquire relevant knowledge.

Content

The business simulation game Markstrat B2B - Markstrat is a business simulation which puts you into the role of managing the marketing division of the electro-mechanical business unit of a large corporation. Competing with several other companies, you try to successfully market two products to business customers. To this end, you and other students jointly develop and implement a long-term marketing strategy for your business unit.

During the 10 rounds of the simulation game, the students and the randomly assigned student team make decisions in the areas of product development, advertising, sales, price, production, and human resources on a weekly basis. To make well-informed decisions, the student teams can draw on a large number of information sources such as customer surveys, experiments, market studies, and benchmarks which you need to analyze during each round of the simulation.

The simulation is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction, a concomitant coaching, as well as a mid-term and final presentation. In addition, the student teams will prepare a written report.

Content

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

Content The lecture gives an introduction to the concept of logistical systems with a special emphasis on the subject of Industry 4.0. Here, the system concept in logistics from a technical point of view is introduced. A logistical system is understood as a combination of transport, storage and change processes between source and sink of goods. This lecture will look at the technical aspect of these processes.

Industry is a topic of this lecture. Industry 4.0 is understood as the far-reaching digitization and networking of logistical systems and the connection of logistical objects, processes and systems. The logistics industry expects Industry 4.0 to be a profound change and the realization of large improvement potentials. The lecture provides an in-depth introduction to application cases and business models of Industry 4.0 in logistics from a technical standpoint. A possible framework for Industry 4.0 is presented and several application examples are shown.

In the exercises, students learn will learn the exemplary use of different technical solutions and know how, which can be used to improve logistical systems.

Content

The lecture deals with the simulation of external logistics systems. The focus is therefore on the consideration of logistical processes between companies or on transhipment systems, such as ports or individual terminals.

In the first part of the lecture, students will first acquire basic knowledge of external logistics systems and the advantages of using simulations to present them. Then an overview of existing simulation types and programs is given and examples for existing simulation models of logistic systems in science and practice are shown. Some simulation models will be demonstrated.

In the second part of the lecture the students learn the basic handling of the simulation software Plant Simulation®. They receive theoretical explanations of the general functionality of the simulation tool, which are further deepened through the use of extensive, interactive examples. At the same time, five exercises, which build on each other, offer students the opportunity to implement the course content they have learnt in small groups. The exercises can be completed during the supervised lecture periods as well as at other times.

The acquired knowledge is to be applied in the third part in the course of group work. The students will be divided into groups, each of which will then work on a relevant problem from the field of (external) logistic systems by means of simulation. The students are given a defined period of time for their work. During this time at least one person is always available for questions and suggestions. The results of the group work are to be documented in a simulation report and handed in at the end of the processing time. Finally, the individual groups present the problems they have worked on and their results in a presentation.
