Industry institute
Industrial institutes (I.-I.) were independent areas at various universities and colleges in the GDR. The training at an industrial institute offered active or potential managers of the state- owned industry the possibility of professional qualification who, due to their school education or their age, could not take up direct or distance learning at a university.
history
Industrial institutes emerged after 1954 and existed until 1990. Comparable to the workers 'and farmers' faculties , they initially had the main aim of breaking with the bourgeois educational privilege and training or qualifying senior employees from among the working class. Matriculation therefore initially only required eight years of schooling, as was common at the time. From the mid-1960s, the industrial institutes offered advanced and advanced training for managers who already had a university degree or for members of political parties and mass organizations who were intended for management tasks. From this time onwards, prerequisites for training at an industrial institute were, in addition to political reliability, completion of the 10-class polytechnic high school and a learned profession with at least ten years of professional experience.
In 1976 the industrial institutes were put on an equal footing with the sections and were directly subordinate to the rector.
Most of the students at the industrial institute received scholarships based on the average net income of the employee.
degrees
After 4 or later 5 semesters of very practical economic and social science training, the graduates received the title “Diplom-Ingenieur-Ökonom”, abbreviated to “Dipl.-Ing.-Ök.”.
Due to the shortened study program, the training was often not recognized as full. The titles “diploma” and “engineer” are particularly controversial. Already before 1990 it had to be noted in an addendum that the graduation took place at the industrial institute, i.e. graduate engineer-economist of the industrial institute plus the chosen subject, abbreviated “Dipl.-Ing.-Ök. (I.-I.) ".
Locations
The first industrial institute was founded at the Technical University of Dresden in October 1954. It was the largest industrial institute in the GDR. He was followed by another at the University of Transport and Dresden, the Freiberg Mining Academy , the Technical University of Ilmenau , the Technical University of Leuna-Merseburg , the University of Leipzig and the University of Rostock .
