Location of University of Groningen
The IEM Master´s degree programme is a new Engineering programme within the University of Groningen. Started in September 2002, its emphasis is on learning how to deal with practical problems in business and how to obtain solutions driven by a technical and scientific design perspective.
The general aim of the IEM Master´s programme is to train engineers to acquire a thorough overview of all primary and secondary business processes, especially with respect to design aspects of a technological product or process. More than its nearest competitors, the IEM Master´s degree programme of the University of Groningen focuses on technology: in general the curriculum consists of 65% technical courses and 35% management courses.
There are three specializations within our programme:
* > Discrete Technology and Production Automation (DT)
* > Information Technology (IT)
* > Product and Process Technology (PT)
One of these specializations has to be chosen right from the start of the programme.
Career opportunities are abundant for IEM engineers. Career-market analyses consistently show that there is a strong need for professionals with a combined technical and managerial background. IEM engineers with a DT specialization can start a career as a product manager, involved in the development of new innovative products within the tight boundaries of technical, market and product-related constraints.
IT-specialized IEM engineers are able to design independent complex information systems used, for example, by financial institutions, or governments, but also information systems used to enable control of industrial processes, or used for quality management. They are able to design an information system adjusted to the needs and the strategies of the company in which it has to function. Determining how a company can effectively use information technology is typically a question that an IT-specialized IEM engineer can address.
PT-specialized IEM engineers can become members of product and process design teams, begin a career as a production manager in a process industry, or occupy leading positions in business activities within the product-to-customer value chain.
Contents
During the first year of the Master´s degree programme, you will acquire a thorough knowledge of technology and business studies. You will examine the technical aspects of the specialization you have selected in more detail and focus on the business aspects of the technologies you apply. To this end you will follow some Business Studies modules together with your fellow Master´s students of Industrial Engineering and Management.
Your knowledge of Industrial Engineering and Management deepens itself further during the first year. You go into some technical aspects of your chosen discipline more deeply, but you are also preoccupied with the scientific side of your profession and using the knowledge you have gained by now. Still you follow a small number of courses together with students of Industrial Engineering and Management who have chosen another discipline.
The second year will include some in-depth modules, but the main focus in this year will be on the Master´s project. In your Master´s project, you will implement the knowledge and insight you have gained during your study programme in a technical-scientific design. You will most likely complete your Master´s project in co-operation with a company.
In the second year you are finishing your Master-Education. You still follow a number of depth-courses, but the central issue is your thesis. By making your thesis you show you can render the learning and skills you have acquired during your studies into a technical and scientific draft. Probably you will work on your thesis in cooperation with a company.
Typical for the study of Technical Engineering and Management in Groningen is that a part of completing one´s studies is aimed at experimental research. You contribute in this way to a new understanding and do justice to the slogan of the University of Groningen : working on the frontiers of knowledge.
