Final Report Abstract

In 2007, the Graduate School of Excellence advanced Manufacturing Engineering (GSaME) implemented a multidisciplinary program for doctoral researchers, which aims at meeting the challenges of cutting-edge research in the field of advanced manufacturing engineering (aME) in the context of industrial change. The graduate school acts both internationally and regionally. The design, organization and maintenance of tomorrow’s manufacturing systems require a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, research at GSaME not only includes engineering science, but also computer and management science in order to overcome challenges that cannot be faced by one single discipline. Multidisciplinary qualification and interdisciplinary thinking are indispensable for future leaders in the industrial sector, regardless of the original educational background. Thus, multidisciplinary qualification during the doctoral phase is an essential part of a doctoral project at GSaME, besides the dissertation project itself. This dual concept of research and qualification with both scientific and industrial relevance is unique throughout Germany. Industrial relevance is proven by the collaboration with partners from the private sector. The concept exhibits high attractiveness for doctoral students as well as for industrial partners. Results from 79 conferred doctorates funded by the DFG or by one of the 28 cooperation partners have contributed to ensure Europe’s excellence in a field of major economic significance. GSaME has established itself as a graduate school with faculty-like status. It is a center of best-practice for shaping the doctoral phase of young scientists with an educational background in engineering, information technology or business administration. Oriented towards future specialist and management tasks, the graduate school provides ideal conditions for cross-discipline doctoral studies by offering supervision from more than 40 principal investigators and from five faculties. Thus, the graduate school supports the strategic development of the University of Stuttgart in promoting young talents, bridging the gap between individual disciplines. The basic objective of aME is to achieve and maintain competitiveness and sustainability in a globally turbulent environment. Such challenges can only be faced by excellently qualified aME specialists who are able to act at the intersections of systems and disciplines, considering a holistic point of view. The graduate school’s dual concept has sparked substantial interest and received the award “Best Practice zur Verbesserung der Ingenieurpromotion” by the German National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) in 2011. GSaME has become a unique model for promoting young researchers and preparing them for futures tasks in specialist and management positions.
