This module is considered to be one of the highlights of the Industrial Engineering and Management course. During a defined preparation phase and in the course of a special event during 5-9 days (ideally a trip), the students deal intensively with various aspects of the economy, industry, technology, innovation, society and politics in an international context.
During the preparation phase, students receive professional input and guest lecturers provide information on current topics and focal points of the special event, as well as on intercultural aspects. Students receive project tasks, which have to be worked on and presented before, during and after the trip in teams or individually.
