The Disruptive Transformation of the Truck Industry as a Case Study 1” aims to prepare students for the technological, regulatory, market, and business challenges of the industry, while providing in-depth insight into emerging trends and opportunities.
What can a BME student learn from a professional who has worked in Knorr-Bremse’s global senior management? How does engineering thinking meet economic thinking, and why is it valuable to learn about this during your university years?
One of the greatest values of Mr Steinberger’s classes is the approach and teaching methodology. The assessment is also practical: there are no exams or tests, but students have to present two homework assignments, for which they receive a grade. All of this is, of course, in English.
The expert in question is Jürgen Steinberger, former chairman of the board of directors of Knorr-Bremse’s commercial vehicle branch. He has been teaching two special courses at BME for years, which anyone can take, whether at BSc or MSc (completing one of them is not a prerequisite for enrolling in the other) – and he will continue to do so next semester.
Class schedule (Fall 2026): September 24., Oktober 15., November 5., November 26. each time from 14:15 to 18:45.
Application deadline: August 30, 2026 (Late course registration: October 15.)
