Jana Richter – Industrial Engineering

Why industrial engineering

During my time at school, I enjoyed many different subjects, including physics and math. But it was hard for me to imagine studying something solely technical.

Therefore, industrial engineering was the perfect choice for me, because the program is very broad and you get to know many fields during your studies and can flexibly choose a field depending on your interests and set your focus there.

And why was it important to you to study dual studies?

For me, it was important to have a practical part after 13 years of theoretical instruction only. I need to have a real link to the theoretical basics. This is something I lacked in straightforward university courses.

After three years of study and the first few years of professional experience, I have to say that the decision was spot on. In the practical phases, I was able to personally learn a lot and take it with me, not only in terms of the technical basics, but also in terms of corporate culture and cooperation in a company. No “real” course of study can convey these two experiences.

And why was it important for you to take a combined work-study approach at Basler?

Basler convinced me from the very first interview. I was in other application rounds before Basler, and they were always very cold and impersonal. A friendly and warm atmosphere was immediately present at Basler. In addition, as a technology-oriented medium-sized company, Basler offers a wide range of possibilities.

What did your path look like after studying at Basler?

After graduating in 2016, I started in strategic project purchasing at Basler and have since successfully completed several development projects on the purchasing side. For me, project purchasing is particularly interesting because, in addition to purchasing issues, you are also part of the individual development projects and teams and are therefore responsible for a wide range of exciting topics.
