Dual Study Program at Kramer

Your tasks:
The dual study program alternates between theory and practical modules. In the theory modules, you will be taught primarily engineering fundamentals and specific knowledge in the field of electrical engineering with a focus on vehicle electronics at the Baden Württemberg Cooperative State University in Friedrichshafen. The practical modules take place at the Kramer GmbH locations. Here you will be assigned to different departments, which will enable you to put the knowledge you have acquired during your studies into practice, and you will also work independently on your own projects.

Your profile:

• A good to very good general university entrance qualification or technical college entrance qualification
• Strong academic performance in the natural sciences
• Interest in technical developments and the application of modern technology
• Independent, structured and goal-oriented way of working. For more information about the study program, please refer to the homepage of DHBW Ravensburg: www.ravensburg.dhbw.de/studienangebot/bachelor-studiengaenge/elektrotechnik-fahrzeugelektronik.html

Your tasks:

In your theory modules

• you will study basic business administration issues

In your practical modules

• you will get an impression of in-house and inbound processes in logistics planning
• we will show you how to manage supply chains with material and inventory strategies
• you will get to know operational and strategic purchasing processes
• you will write your Bachelor's thesis on a topic with which you will be able to help advance our company in the long term
• You can gain experience in one of our other German or foreign plants.

Your profile

• You have successfully completed your GED or received your high-school diploma (soon) or have a corresponding vocational qualification (vocationally qualified persons must meet the relevant requirements for enrollment at DHBW Stuttgart).
• Math, geography and English are your favorite subjects
• You are interested in economic topics and issues
• You are determined and work independently
• You are communicative and appreciate teamwork

The tasks and possible applications in the industrial engineering degree program are very diverse. As interdisciplinary trained specialists for the combination of technology and economics, industrial engineers work in almost all technical and economic functional areas. Depending on the specialization, the focus in the basic studies is on teaching technical and commercial as well as methodological, linguistic, social and intercultural knowledge. The main course of study conveys the practical application of these fundamentals.

Theory
In addition to engineering and business fundamentals, the theoretical study modules focus on design, mechanics and production. In addition, you will be taught management methods, personal skills and comprehensive knowledge of marketing and sales. Lectures on product and project management complete the program. 

Practical experience
You will be assigned to all departments relevant to this degree program, receive specific training and work independently on your own projects. 
Duration of training: 3 years 
Training location and start of training: Pfullendorf: October 
Requirements: The bachelor's degree in industrial engineering is considered challenging because it requires versatile knowledge and skills. Thus, you need a talent for mathematics and natural sciences as well as for economic topics and languages. For your bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, you should also have analytical thinking skills. To meet the requirements in your studies, you can take a pre-course in mathematics at most universities. This is especially useful for non-high school graduates. 

We also recommend that you observe the requirements of the relevant dual university.

Developers and designers of vehicles are faced with increasingly demanding tasks. Innovation cycles are getting shorter and the complexity of systems is increasing. Only with a holistic systems approach can costs and development effort remain manageable. Systems engineering is becoming a competitive factor and integrates the technology shift from mechanics to electronics to information technology. This development has significantly expanded the job profile for engineers. In addition to interdisciplinary basic knowledge, sound knowledge of modern computer-aided development tools and additional qualifications from the fields of economics and management are required.

The course of study "Mechanical Engineering - Vehicle Systems Engineering" takes these requirements into account. From the beginning of the course, teaching content from the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science is offered in a cross-linked manner. Advanced lectures in the fields of automotive engineering, simulation techniques and mechatronics round out the technical courses offered. Graduates of the program already have fundamental experience with interdisciplinary tasks. They are therefore highly qualified to deal with current and future development tasks in the automotive and supplier industry.

Theory
In the theoretical study modules, engineering and business fundamentals and specialist knowledge in mechanical and automotive engineering, as well as knowledge of management methods, personal skills, marketing and sales are taught. Lectures on new technologies complete the program.

Practical experience
You will be assigned to all departments relevant to this degree program, receive specific training and work independently on your own projects.
Duration of training: 3 years
Training location and start of training: Pfullendorf, October
Requirements: Technical understanding and logical thinking skills as well as good English, mathematics and PC skills are prerequisites for a relevant course of study. Creativity is also required when you need to apply different theories and methods.

We also recommend that you observe the requirements of the relevant dual university.

Design engineers solve interesting and challenging tasks in the development of industrial products. They look for innovative design solutions for components and assemblies.

Design is an essential part of a process chain that ranges from market research to the feedback of experience from product application. A lot of information is exchanged in this process chain. Therefore, product development is understood as an information management process. In order to be able to organize the targeted, cost-effective and rapid development of a competitive product, design engineers take on additional management tasks. In doing so, they work creatively in teams with specialists from other areas of the company.
