What Technische Hochschule Mannheim Fakultät für Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen does

The Fakultät für Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (Faculty of Engineering and Management, also known as Fakultät W or WING) is a department of Technische Hochschule Mannheim, a state-funded public university in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The faculty delivers accredited Bachelor of Science programs in Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (WB), Engineering and Management International (EMB), and Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen International (WBI), plus a Master of Science in Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (WM) offered full-time or part-time, serving primarily domestic and international prospective students who require combined engineering and business expertise. Instruction is delivered on-campus in Mannheim, supplemented by an industrial internship semester (Praxissemester) with partner employers such as John Deere, SAP, Roche, BASF, Daimler, Porsche, and Bosch, plus student services including the AMC 3D-Druckzentrum and a ChatGPT-based TIW/I chatbot for incoming exchange students.

The faculty operates an applied research portfolio funded by federal ministries, including the BMBF-backed Kopernikus Synergie II and Synergie III projects (industrial energy flexibility against renewable supply), the BMFTR-funded FLoW-mIT project (digital transformability of manufacturing via webcrawler-based environment radar and Digital Twin integration), and the 2nd-life-POT-4-REN project on retired EV battery storage. Research is organized through three affiliated institutes: Institut für Unternehmensführung (IfU), Kooperationsnetzwerk Moderne Produktion (KMP), and Kompetenzzentrum Mensch+Innovation+X (MIX). The faculty is led by Dean Prof. Dr. Stefan Rist and comprises 18 named professors plus external lecturers.

Revenue mechanics are those of a public German Hochschule: state higher-education funding supplemented by competitive federal research grants (BMBF, BMFTR) and minimal student semester contributions (€120.30). International student recruitment is conducted through a network of 40+ partner universities across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, enabling exchange semesters and double-degree programs. The faculty's go-to-market combines direct enrollment via the HISinOne application portal, community-led outreach through partner universities, and brand-building events such as Open Campus days and the "Academia meets Business" lecture series.
