The specia internaona make-up of the

GPE student body (composed of students

from more than 20 dierent countries and

5 connents) that aends GPE eery year

is the hamark of the program. This kind

of specia mix of students is rarey found in

comparabe programs. In courses designed

to orient them toward working in the goba

iage, students earn from each other ona daiy basis how to deeop ideas, come

up with common souons, and impement

them. In this way, their educaona training

prepares them for intercutura teamwork

with a changing mix of team members to

dea with tasks under the tuteage of expe-

rienced instructors.

Seera ectures with an internaona per-

spece are aaiabe, such as Goba SuppyChain Management, Goba Producon

Management, Internaona Procurement

and Technoogy Transfer. In addion, courses

are oered in which GPE students carry out

industria and research projects with stu-

dents from Korea, the USA, Brazi, and South

Africa Students take up the atest research

deeopments. They open up new appica-

on areas for technoogies or deducey

anayze probems from industry on their way

to deeoping souons.

The TU Berin infrastructure surrounding the

GPE is sharpy dened by the Producon

Technoogy Center (PTC), which consists of

departments from the TU Berin and the

Fraunhofer Society. The PTC coaborates

intensively with partners in research and

in educaon from around the word. Its

network of partners consists of roughy

200 businesses, research faciies, and uni-

ersies wordwide. These partners jointy

seek out engineering projects and scienc

business quesons from the producon

technica enironment.

The internaona aor of the student body

and assistant professors pays a key roe in

the educaona process. Eery year, ising

professors gie ectures for GPE; in recent

years these hae incuded professors fromthe Uniersity of Michigan, USA; the Uni-

ersity of New South Waes, Austraia; the

Korean Instute of Science and Technoogy,

Korea; the Uniersity of Cincinna, USA; the

Rochester Instute of Technoogy, USA; the

Uniersity of Sao Pauo, Brazi; Hong Kong

Uniersity of Science and Technoogy, China;

Tongji Uniersity Shanghai, China; and Wase-

da Uniersity Tokyo, Japan.

Our GPE graduates go on to assume eading

posions as technoogy managers, funcon-

ing successfuy in internaona aue-added

chains. The quaicaons they acquire are

directy taken from the job descripons oftechnoogy managers in the goba business

enironment. Internaona cooperaon

between businesses demands engineers with

the abiity to cooperate and communicate

gobay. Science, research, and goba indus-

tria pracces require that GPE graduates

master the foowing skis:

The abiity to understand, assess, and appy

scienc, natura science, and technicainterconnecons when deeoping, main-

taining, and improing construcon and

manufacturing products and processes. The

abiity to recognize and assess interreaon-

ships between the economy, technoogy, the

enironment, and society. The abiity to work

independently and responsibly in intercultu-

ra mudiscipinary projects. The abiity to

place what they have learned in the contextof economicay, sociay, and cuturay die-

rent regions and to appy it there.

The GPE curricuum was designed with these

requirements in mind, and has proen itsef

in the career experiences of GPE graduates.

In addion, opportunies for interdiscipinary

cooperaon are enhanced by the research

faciies inoed in the program or through

interdiscipinary research projects. Theseresearch faciies incude the Fraunhofer soci-

ety, the Producon Technoogy Center Berin,

Hemhotz-Zentrum, and the Konrad-Zuse

Center for Informaon Technoogy in Berin.

Pf s, u t D d -founder of the Global Producon Enginee-

(gPe) uuum, td 1997. Wtd u t fud t u f tud?In coaboraon with the DAAD (Deutscher

Akademischer Austauschdienst), we hit on

the idea of encouraging more non-European

students to study in Germany. Our instuon

is very well suited to that, since we have a

pethora of accessory resources and oer

a rst-cass and internaonay recognized

engineering educaon. We hae made great

strides and hae around 1,000 appicants an-nuay, of which we are abe to accept about

70 who meet a the requirements and bring

a the essena quaicaons with them.

What are some specics you would empha-size in the organizaon of this curriculum?

Eery year, we conduct a thorough surey of

our students at every level so we can get into

what changes are wanted in a the eds and

thus connue to improe. Furthermore, we

are redoubing our project-oriented eorts

and hae been abe to signicanty expand our

connecons to our industria partners, so that

we now have access to a considerable collabo-

raon network. And, of course, we pace strong

emphasis on the city of Berin itsef: Next to

curricuum, we focus on cutura deeop-

ment; we take our students to theaters and

museums, we aend exhibits, conenons, and

concerts and ceebrate the hoidays together.

Thus, in addion to professional qualica-on, GPE focuses strongly on integrang our

tudt t u mmut. T Mu-facturing track oered by GPE has found

The soar industry, which has shown strong

growth not just in Berin-Brandenburg,

but aso throughout Germany, came to us

and tod us that they needed academic-

technica eaders for their export markets,

which aready make up far more than 50%

of their current business. So, we expanded

our core competencies of engineering, ean

In addion to your posion as Dean, you

are also acve as an instructor at GPE. Have

there been dicult changes in the eld of

knowledge transfer?

Informaon technoogy has gien us access

to knowedge resources in a scope that woudhae been inconceiabe up un 5 years

ago. That eads to a situaon where the pure

transfer of knowedge becomes secondary

to the mode of transfer, where the instructor

communicang with the students is concer-

ned. And the consequence of that in turn is

that an intensied project orientaon has to

occur that we can focus on a of our academic

content. Howeer, industry demands on en-

gineers hae aso changed. In the past, when

they were probem-soing, engineers mainy

had to ink the dynamics of the anaysis of the

technica and socia potenas. Now, howeer,

the broad ed of sustainabiity is taking on a

massie amount of signicance, something

that we here at the instute hae ong been

predicng. We used to be aughed at quite of-

ten for making this predicon, but we ong ago

reoriented our teaching funcons to this topic

and hae become a pioneer in this area.

hae specia meaning in Berin. Combined

with this city, there is no other producon

in the word inked with an exceence that

is internaonay respected and recognized.

Students come to Berin from around the

word with great enthusiasm and joy, because

they can combine internaona iing with

persona and professiona quaicaon. In

my opinion, Berin is and has aways been a

goba city with an eye to the future.

I am presenty working with Cadbury India

limited as Deeopment Manager in logisc

funcons, impemenng SAP-APO in the

organizaon. I am heading the project.

Ociay it is the Master degree that I got for

my studies, but reay speaking, the course,

the ocaon (Berin) and the students (mu-

naona) gae the best experience one coud

ask for. The city of Berin has gien me a ot of

experiences which I will cherish throughout

my ife, the most important being when I sub-

mied my na master thesis, it was a tribute

to a the hard work. anUP MUDUga

I am currenty working for a German com-pany here in Indonesia and quite oen I hae

to deal with other subsidiaries around the

I started working as a management consu-

tant at McKinsey and Company.

In my studies I focused on ogiscs and suppy

chain management and reaized this focus

by taking courses in both, doing reeant

internships (SCM at Connenta and logiscs

at Audi) and by wring my master thesis in

a reated topic. I chose this focus because it

gae me the opportunity to hae a good mix

of operaons and management content.

learning how to not ony work in interna-

ona teams but aso how to deeop deep

persona reaonships with peope of com-petey dierent backgrounds was for me the

most important aspect of working together

with students from dierent naonaies

and cutures. At McKinsey, where interna-

ona teams are the norm, my experience

at GPE has heped me immensey. It was

undoubtedy the numerous pares hosted

by co-students, Chinese, Mexican, Indian or

otherwise which added a ot of coor to the

2 years at GPE. GPE proides much beer

internaona exposure than any other master

program which is extremey aued in the job

market in Europe. ajay sohoni

I started my own consung company in Me-

xico. Our main serices are in areas of quaity

and manufacturing. Most of the skis earned

during my GPE studies (Technica and so

skis) hep a ot on my job. Berin is a wonder-

fu city and I had there seera big emoona

experiences, but the most important is that I

met my wife in Berin. The GPE is an exceent

way to start an excepona contacts net-

work. jos ManUel MarTnez lPez

interesng posion. Berin is a dierent city

in Germany, it is not ery German, but ery

internaona, not boring compared to other

German cies, I ike Berin ery much. In my

mind, Berin has the biggest number of foot-

ba paygrounds, which I ike. yang Pei

I am working as Factory Manager in India in a

Spanish Company. sanDeeP chaUDhary

Aer my graduaon I moed to Miami, Fori-

da in the United States. Here I am starng my

own Business. I focused on logiscs. It was

the most interested area for me. The logiscs

Department was one of the most prepared

and had more opons and opportunies

than any other department. Some of the

acies that they oered were seminars,

guest ectures, trips to dierent companies, a

compete week of seminar and ectures fromthe most recognized companies such as BMW

and Coca-Coa. For me the most important

thing about studying abroad is to learn about

other cultures and to get integrated in the

whoe gobaizaon. Nowadays, you need

more from other countries and cutures, and

I beiee you coud get a great network and a

great idea of the rest of the word when you

study with peope from other cutures.

Berin is both the capita city of Germany and

one of sixteen German states. With a popua-

on of more than three miion peope from

180 dierent countries, Berin is Germanys

argest city and aracts isitors from around

the word. In addion to the many poica

instuons, the city is home to numerous

German and internaona associaons, busi-

nesses, and media centers.

The citys greatest natura resource is know-

edge. Berin possesses a research community

that is unique in Germany. In this abora-tory of ideas, sciensts from a oer the

gobe come together to deeop technoogy,

processes, and products for the future. Berin

has three uniersies, seen poytechnica

coeges, four arts coeges, and more than

60 non-uniersity research instuons. This

incudes faciies of the city of Berin, such as

the Berin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences

(BBAW), as we as the Max Panck Instutes

and the instutes of the Fraunhofer Society.

130,000 young peope study in Berin. Fiy

thousand men and women are empoyed in

science and research in the city.

Berin is a major center of European cuture,

poics, media, and science. Its economy

is primariy based on the serice sector,

encompassing a dierse range of creae

industries, media corporaons, enironmen-

ta serices, and conenon enues; it aso

seres as a connenta hub for air and rai

transport. Berin is the third most-isited

tourist desnaon in the EU. Other industries

incude trac engineering, optoeectronics,

informaon technoogy, ehice manufactu-

ring, heath care, biomedica engineering, and

biotechnoogy.

Home to word-renowned uniersies, re-

search instutes, sporng eents, orchestras,

museums, and famous personaies, Berins

urban landscape and historic legacy has

made it a popuar seng for internaona

m producons. The city is recognized for

its fesas, dierse architecture, nightife,

contemporary arts, and high quaity of ife.

Berin has eoed into a goba foca point for

The uniersity has been home to many

renowned sciensts. Three-coor photogra-

phy and rotograure prinng were deeoped

here. Research into motor ehice design,

radioteegraphy, machine kinemacs and

early television techniques provided the

basis for a number of modern technoogies.

Georg Schesingers pioneering research into

the interacon of machine too design and

factory management contributed to the dee-

opment of ergonomics and biomedica tech-

noogy. Ernst Ruska, who ater won the Nobe

Prize, buit the rst eectron microscope at

the Technica Coege of Berin. Konrad Zuse

constructed the rst freey programmabe

cacuang machine, a precursor of modern

computers, out of spare parts.

The Center unites the Instute for Machine

Toos and Factory Management and the

Fraunhofer Instute for Producon Systemsand Design Technoogy under one roof.

The main thrust of the current reforms at

TU Berin has been to improe teaching and

study condions. The changes are goerned

by the Guideines for Further Deeopment

of Study Programs adopted by TU Berins

Academic Senate in February of 2000. One

of the goas of the measures has been to

reduce study mes in order to increase the

araceness and compeeness of the

uniersity degrees on the abor market.

Another important goa is to enhance the

internaona quaity of the educaon oered

at TU Berin. For this reason, a growing

number of internaona studies programs

eading to bacheor and master degrees are

being estabished. Moduar course systems

are being introduced to aow more exibe

studies. This makes it easier to take part in in-

ternaona exchange programs, increases the

freedom of choice regarding courses within

the facues, and encourages interdiscipi-

nary studies. According to the guideines, TU

students are expected to devote 15 percent

of their studies to discipines outside theirown eds.

The new budgeng system oers nancia

rewards for improing study condions in the

indiidua facues.

Facuty v of Mechanica Engineering and

Transport Systems draws together enginee-

ring discipines such as mechanica engi-

neering, transport technology, and social

sciences such as psychoogy and ergonomics.

The reaonships between indiiduas, tech-

noogy, and society proide a framework for

many excing areas in research and teaching

in Facuty v. Human-machine interacons

pay an important roe, especiay in such

eds as mechanica engineering, psychoogy,

and transportaon management. The drie to

iew compex systems in the context of their

socia, technica, ecoogica and economic

course programs. The deeopment and

construcon of new products and processes

for medica and microtechnoogy, for power

ProDUcTion Technology cenTer

In 1904, the emperor of Germany, Wihem II,

appointed Dr. Georg Schesinger, age 30, to a

professorship for Machine Too and Techno-

ogy and Factory Operaon at the Knigiche

Technische Hochschue zu Berin. Thus, Prus-

sia was the rst state in Germany to estabish

a professorship of this kind. Schesinger is

considered the pioneer of scienc organiza-

ons in Germany. His ndings on quesons of

raonaizaon, standardizaon, interchangea-

be manufacture, and psychotechnoogy werebased on a thorough study of the theories of

the American manufacturing engineer F. W.

Tayor (1856 - 1915).

In the subsequent years, the Knigiche Tech-

nische Hochschue zu Berin receied a high

degree of recognion at both naona and

internaona ees.

The Producon Technoogy Center Berin

(PTC) coers the Instute for Machine Toos

and Factory Management (IWF) of Technische

Uniersitt Berin and the Fraunhofer Instute

for Producon Pants and Construcon Tech-

noogy (IPK), both from 1965 to 1997

ead by famous Prof. Gnter Spur. At the

Instute of Machine Toos and Factory

Management, the research and teaching

programs focus on technoogy and ma-

nagement in industria factory businesses

today. These range from the deeopment of

process technoogies and producon pants

to informaon technoogy. Sciensts work

at the digitay-integrated factory in e

departments.

The further growth of both instutes required

a new buiding, which was acquired in 1986.

Oer 500 empoyees work in research,teaching, and industria deeopment here

today. The centra test ed aone comprises

3,850 m2, and the total area at our disposal

equipped with the most modern machinery,

computers, and soware systems comprises a

workspace of 15,000 m2.

For their work, the architects Gerd Fese,

Peter Bayerer, Hans-Dieter Hecke, and Roand

Ostertag won the German architecture prize

in 1987. The PTC works intensiey with part-

ners abroad both in research and in teaching.

The aPPlicaTion cenTer For

Micro ProDUcTion TechnologyMicro technoogy is considered amongst

the most important technoogies of today,

due to eer rising demand for technoogica

and mechanica micro system products.

Modern machine toos are today capabe

of working with work pieces or on struc-

ture, that are sma as 100 nanometres in

size, which is equa to one-thousandth of

the diameter of an aerage human hair.These sma working dimensions require

sma work toos, furthermore, eniron-

menta infuences hae to monitored and

controed een more precisey than with

other precision production technoogies.

The Appicaon center for micro producon

technoogy (AMP) is ocated in a 1,200 m

ha, superby equipped for innoae

research and deeopment. The departments

of Machine Toos and Factory Management

(IWF) at the Technische Uniersitt Berin and

the Fraunhofer Instute for Producon Sys-

tems and Design Technoogy (IPK) hae been

working cosey together in the ed of microproducon technoogy for seera years now.

This unique partnership of academic and ap-

pied research in new deeopment, oers it

competences in eds such as biotechnoogy,

medica technoogy, opca technoogy and

microsystems technoogy.

cUrricUlUM

The ast majority of courses are taught by

professors from TU Berin and decision-

makers from eading German companies.

Thanks to its moduarity, the structure of

the teaching program aows a ariety of

content choices. The course program makes

a conscious break from the one-dimensi-ona approach to business management,

the Master of Business Administraon,

and instead combines entrepreneuria

and management-oriented content with

approed engineering educaon. Students

gain hands-on experience about global wor-

king cutures in teams made up of mixed

naonaies, such as Braziian, Chinese,

Indian, Thai, and Turkish cizens. The gene-

ra features of the curricuum derie fromthe ariety of modues oered within the

foowing modue groups:

A Producon

b e sc MmtD Intercultural Communicaon

E Special Prole

The modue group Specia Proe has op-

ons for sef-designing a program. Courses

are inserted in the curricuum here with an

actua reference to teachers from industry.

Pracce-oriented bock courses are oered,

such as lean Producon and Design For

Six Sigma, on topics inoing businessorganizaon. Howeer, there is aso room

for project-oriented courses in this modue

group, such as Energy Entrepreneurship &

Rura Eectricaon where, for exampe,

energy suppy concepts for deeoping

countries are worked out. Students must

take at east one course out of each modue

group. A the other courses can be chosen

out of any modue group, compeng a tota

of 90 ECTS. The moduarizaon of the cur-ricuum gies the students the opportuniy

to buid their own curricuum according

to their interests or career perspeces.

Understanding gained from internaona

aue-added chains in internaona part-

nership networks combines management

capabiies with technica comprehension.

This use of intercutura knowedge to per-

form professiona acies as an engineer

is a great adantage in the broad ed of the

technoogy management.

Major inManUFacTUring

The GPE major in Manufacturing is designed

for engineers from producon operaons

who want to learn new technologies and

master management methods within the

scope of their Master Degree training. Most

of the students aready hae professiona

experience. They hae worked in businesses

in the aircra industry, aeronaucs, or the

electrical engineering industry, but also in

competey dierent areas of aue creaon

as panners and designers. A GPE educaon

is designed to give students the capability to

take on acies in producon rms deman-

ding a high degree of responsibiity.

The training contents are oriented toward

the state of the research and the require-

ments of professiona pracce. The theory

of exibe, adaptabe, and irtua factories is

a major educaona focus. Producon pan-ning and contro, process-oriented factory

ayout, CaX programs and irtua design are

a part of the mix. Designing goba suppy

chains and factory management are key in

the area of economics. IT toos for panning

and designing products and processes are

introduced, and students learn how to pro-

gram and use them. The curricuum incudes

courses on how to work with enterprise

resource panning soware, such as SAP

programs, computer-aided design programs

such as Soid Edge or ProEngineer, and pan-

ning toos for modeing producon faciies

such as EM-Pant and AutoMod, and ogiscs

chains such as AIMMS. Students may work

as student interns in businesses based in

the Beriner economy, such as Siemens or

Bombardier, as we as in the Instutes of

the Producon Technoogy Center.

Aer compeng their studies, graduates

work as producon panners and quaity

engineers, process planners, and product

managers. In their posions, they take oneading roes in the automobie industry, the

electrical and electronics industry, and in

mechanica and faciies engineering.

The solar Major

The GPE Soar major is designed for engineers

who want to speciaize in the ast ed of so-

ar energy conersion. Students are scien-

cay introduced to modern soar technoogies

and gather management skis and know-how

required in todays soar industry.

GPE Soar students are highy moated in-

dividuals who wish to get involved with new

chaenges in a ery promising and quicky

growing industry. A GPE educaon is desi-

gned to gie students the capabiity to take

on acies in soar industry rms deman-

ding a high degree of responsibiity.

The training contents are oriented toward the

state of the research and the requirements of

professiona pracce. In order to meet these

requirements, GPE Soar was iniated jointy

with the Renewabes Academy (Renac) as acoaboraon partner. Renac works cosey

with eading companies, research faciies

and individual experts in the solar industry

and forms an interface between business and

the uniersity.

Except for the Internaona Communicaon

modue group, GPE Soar oers soar specic

casses in each modue group. These are for

instance manufacturing of soar compo-

nents in Producon, state of the art soar

therma and photootaic system design in

Engineering or Concentrang Soar Power in

the Specia Proe. The soar casses in the

Management modue group proide students

with a broad perspece of recent soar

market deeopment, business strategies and

project management skis.

Besides soar specic casses, students can

choose from seected GPE Manufacturing

courses, which aow the transfer of proen

state of the research producon knowedge

and skis to modern soar producon and

engineering. These incude for instance

producon panning and contro, process-

oriented pant ayout, and CaX programs.

As a eading center for the soar industry,

Berin and of course Germany as a whoe

oer great opportunies for internships inresearch and deeopment, manufacturing,

consutancies, project deeopment, ony to

name a few.

Aer compeng their studies, graduates

work as panners, buiders, or product and

process managers in designing and improing

soar aue-creaon chains. In their new

jobs, they take on eading roes in the goba

solar industry, the electrical and electronics

industry, and in mechanica and faciies

MasTer Thesis

Studying producon engineering in Germany

is considered to be a high aue competence

in the goba word of producon. The deep

es that the departments of Machine Toos

and Factory Management (IWF) has with the

Fraunhofer Instute for Producon Systems

and Design Technoogy (IPK) and industries

outside the uniersity area create a frame-work that augments the incenes to study

the GPE program een further.

The Master Thesis is the nishing touch on

the study program. This is where students

demonstrate how they can appy what they

hae earned. Furthermore, it enabes the

student to deeop deeper knowedge,

understanding and capabiies in research in

the ed of the students speciaizaon. Stu-

dents can choose between industry-oriented

topic and a uniersity topic. And in coa-

boraon with an adisor, students anayze

a probem and deeop souons buiding

on that knowedge. Students hae three

months to compete the scienc work ontheir task. At the end of that me, the stu-

dent presents its results to the sponsoring

instute and possiby the company as we.

Master theses by GPE students frequenty

receie awards from industry and research.

They hae oen sered as springboards for

students into a career in goba companies

or research faciies.

buid up networks with aumni from other

casses. Pubicaons ike the TU Internao-

na keep aumni informed of current eents

at the Technica Uniersity. Eents such asthe graduaon ceremony with its ceremoni-

a presentaon of dipomas, the Christmas

Party, and our annua aumni ceebraon are

opportunies for the aumni to reunite and

come together with younger students, the

facuty, their uniersity and a the memories

they hae had from Berin.

The degree you earn during your studies

wi open doors for you to technoogy-orien-

ted enterprises and organizaons and wi

quaify you to found your own business. Our

graduates can be found in sma and medi-

um-sized companies as we as major corpo-

raons ike Genera Motors or Airbus. The

majority of GPE graduates return to their

home country to pursue their careers, whie

many others remain with companies in Ger-

many for a few more years - and some stay

on permanenty. Aumni oen te GPE that

their highy deeoped abiity to communi-cate across cultures and cooperate in glo-

bay interacng suppy chains is of immense

aue to them. But its not just industry that

aracts GPE graduates - science-oriented

students oen nd jobs at uniersies and

research faciies. Persona interiews con-

rm that graduates with degrees from GPE

more than meet the demands of the abor

market. Saaries of GPE graduates in the rst

three years aer graduaon are signicanty

greater than their salaries earned as holders

of bacheors degrees.
