Jürgen Steinberger’s Lecture Series at BME: A Unique Opportunity to Explore Synergies Between Engineering and Business

in

This autumn, the joint lecture series of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and Knorr-Bremse AG has once again started, offering students an exceptional opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about the latest developments and disruptive transformation of the commercial vehicle industry. The course is taught by Dr. Jürgen Steinberger, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems.

The title of the course is “Synergy of Engineering and Business: The Disruptive Transformation of the Truck Industry as a Case Study 2” (BMEKOKKBsM8002-00), and it can be taken without completing the similarly titled course from the previous semester.

This lecture series offers a unique opportunity not only for the students enrolled in the course but also for anyone interested in the intersection of engineering and business. As Zsolt SZALAY, PhD, Head of the Automotive Technologies Department at BME, emphasized: “I am proud to support the continued collaboration between Knorr-Bremse and BME. This lecture series provides cutting-edge insights into the commercial vehicle industry through real-world case studies.”

Steinberger’s lectures cover not only engineering knowledge but also the business decisions behind it. “It is important for engineers to understand not just the technical solutions but also why certain business decisions are made. This enhances their commitment to the work they do,” explained the lecturer.

It is rare to hear such an authentic and well-founded lecture from a high-level manager. We encourage everyone, not just those enrolled in the subject, to attend these valuable sessions as they offer a unique chance to learn about real-world industry experiences and the synergies between engineering and business.
