II. GENERAL EDUCATION OBJECTIVES

See Appendix 1.

Subject-relevant training objectives:The Secondary College for Industrial Engineering provides basic theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of material and production engineering, together with a comprehensive education in business information covering the core subjects of business information technology, marketing, staff management and quality management. Particular importance is attached to design, including electrical engineering, open-loop and closed-loop control technology problems and computer-aided design and production methods. The aim is to provide general, communicative, specialised training as part of the overall education.

General specialist training is underpinned by two alternative special training focuses:

The "Business Management" special training focus provides a wide education in all business technology core subjects such as corporate planning, cost accounting, controlling, safety engineering, project management and marketing. Current special focus on quality and environmental management.The "Business Information Technology" special training focus concentrates on programming business information systems in various languages and setting up data base systems and business system environments using modern software engineering techniques. It also provides a wide education in the core subjects of business technology such as corporate planning, logistics, controlling and project management. Current special focus on the development of client/server based communication- and information systems using in-house and worldwide networks.

Graduates are educated in mechanical and production engineering and trained to work in planning, manufacturing, commissioning of all types of installation, sales and service of technical products and planning and organising services of a technical nature. Graduates are particularly well trained in the field of cost accounting (including calculations, marketing, logistics, quality assurance and information).
