Management Science and Engineering

The Learning Factory 4.X is a collaborative project between the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.

Students at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences are tasked with creating a marketable product, considering both design and economic aspects. KIT students are responsible for developing a virtual reality (VR) application to visualize these products, thereby supporting the university students in the marketing and product development phases. The VR application is primarily used for design review, functional analysis, and the presentation and marketing of the products.

The students' project outcomes include:

The One-Click Solution

Project Knife Block

Lasering, Drilling, Bending, Welding

Creative Idea-Finding Processes in Creative Environments: At HKA, entrepreneurship and founding new ventures are highly valued. In elective courses and design thinking workshops, students develop their own ideas for potential product developments, strategies, and business models. Therefore, the HKA provides creative spaces, such as co-working spaces and the Entrepreneurship Garage, to support these innovative processes amongst students and faculty members.
