The Industrial Engineering degree provides comprehensive training covering key content in Logistics and Supply Chain, as well as in the area of Machinery, aligned with the demands of the productive and industrial environment.
In addition to a solid technical foundation, the program promotes the development of professional competencies through practical exercises and interdisciplinary projects focused on solving real-world problems in industrial contexts, both individually and in team-based settings.
Graduates are expected to have solid technical engineering knowledge as well as a sound understanding of business management in order to bridge the gap between these two disciplines. In addition to the technical skills acquired, graduates of the Industrial Engineering program will also achieve a high level of language proficiency.
Graduates will be able to handle tasks across multiple areas thanks to a broad technical and economic foundation acquired through basic training. Practical relevance is achieved through the completion of numerous research projects, which are inspired and promoted directly by industrial companies. In addition, industry internships and the thesis address current challenges and explore innovative topics. Close collaboration with project partners creates opportunities to directly integrate current developments and real-world challenges into the teaching process. In this way, a forward-looking and practice-oriented education is ensured.
The professional field of an Industrial Engineer with a Master’s degree ranges from strategic operations management and the management of manufacturing and service plants to the optimization of global supply chains, intelligent process automation, and consulting in productivity and quality. These professionals work in both public and private sectors, in national or multinational companies across industries such as chemicals, plastics, metalworking, food production, and logistics, or they may pursue their own technological innovation ventures—always with a vision focused on sustainable efficiency and multidisciplinary leadership.
This profile responds to the demands of the labor market in Germany and Paraguay, according to a market study conducted by the two founding institutions of the Universidad Paraguayo Alemana: SRH Holding and the Paraguayan Industrial Union.
To achieve this profile, the program has a duration of eight semesters and applies a competency-based education model: Competency Oriented Research and Education (CORE), developed by SRH Holding.
The degree program lasts ten semesters, of which six semesters are completed on the campus of the Universidad Paraguayo Alemana and two semesters at SRH Holding in Germany. The course content is based on the SRH Heidelberg program and complies with ANEAES quality criteria, adapted to the context of Paraguay’s business environment.
