Expectation Check

Do you have a sense of what the Bachelor’s study program in Technology Management entails?

Statement 1 / 8

In the Technology Management program, I mainly learn how to manage and oversee new technologies.

This statement is largely false

Technology management serves to maintain technological competitiveness and involves the development of the methodological toolkit as well as the integration of new methods. In the bachelor's program, you learn the relevant methods of technology management. However, the emphasis is on foundational knowledge in engineering and business.

Statement 2 / 8

In the Technology Management program, the focus is on business administration.

This statement is largely false

In the Technology Management program at the University of Stuttgart, the ratio of business administration to engineering is 25:75 percent.

Statement 3 / 8

In the Technology Management program, I have lectures similar to those in the Mechanical Engineering bachelor’s program, as well as in Vehicle and Engine Technology.

This statement is largely true

Students attend lectures, exercises, and labs in higher mathematics, technical mechanics, electrical engineering, thermodynamics, and computer science together with students from other engineering disciplines. In addition, you also attend lectures on investment and finance, organization and human resources, as well as business informatics and marketing.

Statement 4 / 8

In the Technology Management bachelor’s program, I primarily learn the theoretical fundamentals.

This statement is largely true

The bachelor’s program places an emphasis on theoretical knowledge. Some of your lectures are, however, complemented by practical laboratory sessions to illustrate and clarify the course content. In addition, you also have the chance to put your theoretical knowledge to the test in the design projects for product development in the third and fourth semesters.

Statement 5 / 8

The Technology Management program is a small and close-knit program, allowing for intensive discussion and questions during lectures.

This statement is largely false

Each winter semester, around 80 students begin the Technology Management program. However, you will attend many lectures together with students from other programs. These take place in lecture halls with up to 800 seats. However, you also receive individual support in the accompanying exercises, tutorials, or during office hours.

Statement 6 / 8

The Technology Management program requires a lot of time. Even during the semester, I have regular assignments and mandatory courses that I must attend.

This statement is largely true

Especially in the first semesters, there are frequent assignments (homework) in modules such as "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design" and "Mathematics." In addition, you have to fulfill practical lab requirements and attendance obligations. Although the program is very time-intensive, you do still have enough flexibility to organize the course content according to your needs.

Statement 7 / 8

During the lecture-free period, I have time for an internship in the industry.

This statement is largely false

The lecture-free period is usually exam time. The extensive material can only be managed by studying consistently throughout the semester. Nevertheless, you can also specifically make time for an internship if you organize your study schedule accordingly. Alternatively, you can apply for a leave of absence for a longer internship.

Statement 8 / 8

With a bachelor’s degree in Technology Management, I can work not only in industry but also in research.

This statement is largely false

With a bachelor’s degree in Technology Management, you qualify for a Master’s program. Before a doctoral degree, this is the first step toward a career in research – for example, in academia at a university. Professors and many lecturers there have, in addition to their teaching duties, a research mandate.
