From an early stage in their career, engineers need to manage finances and managers need to deal with technologies. Business Management and Engineering at bbw Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences combines these two fields. Advanced manufacturing systems are the fourth industrial revolution. The German government identified Industrie 4.0 as one of the top "future projects". It is part of the High-Tech-Strategy 2030.

Industrie 4.0 revolutionizes manufacturing and production and opens the door to an age of "smart industry" in which people, devices, objects, and systems are combined to form dynamic, self-organizing networks of production. It connects innovative embedded system production technologies with smart production processes to pave the way to a new industrial age, which will radically transform industry and production value chains and business models in tomorrow's smart factories. An increase of manufacturing productivity by up to 50 percent - using half the amount of current required resources, is expected.

Germany's renewable energy sector is among the most innovative and successful one's worldwide. The energy transition (Energiewende) towards sustainable energy is leading to a decentralized renewable energy system and to more energy efficiency. Wind and water, the heat and light of the sun, the carbohydrates in plants, and the warmth in the earth - all are energy sources that can supply our energy needs in a sustainable way. A variety of methods are used to convert these renewable resources into electricity. Each comes with its own unique set of technologies, benefits, and challenges. Also storage and distribution of energy is getting more and more important. Special energy engineering skills are needed for the design, installation, implementation and maintenance of energy systems.
