Global Production Engineering is a full-time four-semester course of study offered at the Berlin Technical University in Berlin, Germany. The curriculum is designed for outstanding international graduate students seeking to improve their personal competence portfolio in the fields of production, management, engineering, and intercultural communication.
The strong international orientation of our program can be seen in the fact that 95% of our students are natives of countries other than Germany. To date, we have entertained students from 43 different countries among our student body. Most courses are taught in English, giving students the option of taking all of their courses in the English language.
The GPE course of study acquired an 8-year accreditation in 2006 from the ASIIN, a special accreditation agency for the curricula of engineering sciences, computer science, natural sciences, and mathematics. This accreditation reaffirms and expands the high standards and quality of the program.
GPE currently offer two majors: Manufacturing and Solar. Manufacturing is the older of the two majors, introduced at the beginning of the GPE program in 1998. Solar was founded in 2007 as a way of developing technological potential in this area of international engineering education. The strong connection between the solar industry and the research institutes in Berlin and Brandenburg brings theory and practice together in one place.
This research-oriented education with its quasi-practical application in labs and associated thesis work allows students to get an early start on assuming tasks bearing responsibility at the university and in research. In addition, the last ten years have seen the formation of a global network of alumni, where alumni exchange information and provide mutual support for each other. GPE graduates today are collaborating on challenges such as construction of the Shanghai subway, production of German automobiles, or in projects setting up sustainable factories in the Amazon rain forest.
The high competence in research results from the strong ties and integration of the study course with other institutes of the TU Berlin. Through the engagement and the initiative of students new ideas can emerge and approaches in science can be improved. There are many possibilities, like cooperation in research projects, project-oriented exercises, a job as a student assistant, internships or writing a Master Thesis to gain insights into the state of the art of research and development and to follow a career in research in the field of the student's specialization. Many other features also ensure achievement of knowledge in state of the art research developments:
Presentations about up to date research results e.g. Prof. Dr. Nabil Nasr (Rochester Institute of Technology, USA), Prof. Dr. Henrique Rozenfeld (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil), Prof. Dr. Mitchell M. Tseng (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China)Integration of up to date research projects into the curriculum e.g. Disassembly factories for the recovery of resources in product and material cycles, Sustainable industrial value chain networks, Sonderforschungsbereich 281: Demontagefabriken zur Rückgewinnung von Ressourcen in Produkt- und Materialkreisläufen, new research focus: Sustainable Industrial Value Creation NetworksIntegration of GPE Students as student research assistants and GPE alumni as research engineers (at present 7 GPE student research assistants and 4 GPE research engineers are employed at institutes of the TU Berlin)
GPE Students have completed their internships in a variety of internationally highly respected companies especially in the mechanical and electrical engineering industry.
The interdisciplinary cooperation is established through the three faculties as well as research facilities which are involved in the management and organization of the study course. Research facilities which are engaged in the study course are the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, the Production Technology Center Berlin and the Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum for information technology in Berlin.
