Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

Designing and developing machines, systems and architecture is the main task of a technician in the field of construction and design. A CAD course (computer-aided design) will teach you the basics of technical drawing as well as the production of models. These models can be used to carry out tests and simulations and thus determine the opportunities and risks for the buildings.

Are you already advanced in the field of construction and would you like to complete the higher technical college to become a construction technician (HF)? With this training or further training, you will be working in the middle management of a company and carrying out challenging and varied tasks. Project management and leading a team are just as much a part of your job as planning and monitoring projects.

As a design technician, you are in contact with engineers on the one hand and technical workers on the other. You also respond to the wishes of customers and try to reconcile their concerns with your specialist knowledge and the technical and economic possibilities.

Take a step forward in your professional life! Find suitable schools for your training, whether it's a course of study or a degree at a higher technical college. The Swiss education portal provides you with numerous offers on the subject of construction.

Note: Since fall 2022, the HF technician courses (formerly "Techniker HF Fachrichtung") have been given a separate framework curriculum and a new title for each specialization. For example, the course "Technician HF Mechanical Engineering" is now called "Mechanical Engineering Technician HF". In addition, the specializations have been abolished.


Questions and answers

A basic mathematics course is not mandatory for enrolment on the course in design engineering or for the diploma technician HF mechanical engineering, specializing in design engineering, but it is highly recommended if you completed your apprenticeship a few years ago or if you do not have a vocational secondary school diploma.

Training to become a qualified technician in mechanical engineering, specializing in construction technology (new: mechanical engineering technician HF) requires basic vocational training with a federal certificate of competence (EFZ) in the metal, electrical or mechanical engineering industry or a related field, which provides you with the basic knowledge required for this further training in construction. You can request the detailed admission requirements directly from the higher technical colleges.

Das Studium in Konstruktionstechnik an einer Höheren Fachschule ist sehr breit gefächert und umfasst insgesamt 29 Lernfächer, sowie Semesterarbeiten und einer Diplomarbeit. Innerhalb der Fächer wird das Hauptaugenmerk auf Mathematik (mit 200 Lektionen) und Physik (mit 120 Lektionen) gelegt, doch auch Konstruktionslehre (75 Lektionen), Fluidtechnik (70 Lektionen) sowie Elektrotechnik, Betriebswirtschaft, Maschinenelemente, Antriebs- und Getriebetechnik (jeweils 60 Lektionen) nehmen einen grossen Studienanteil ein. Eine genaue Auflistung der Fächer sowie der Anzahl der Präsenzlektionen erhalten Sie direkt bei den Hochschulen.
Damit Sie sich für einen CAD-Kurs anmelden können, wie beispielsweise AutoCAD: Grundlagen 2D benötigen Sie bereits grundlegende Kenntnisse der Konstruktion oder des technischen Zeichnens sowie selbstverständlich PC-Grundkenntnisse. Für den Diplomlehrgang an einer Höheren Fachschule müssen Sie nicht zwangsläufig bereits konstruieren können.
