Self-test "Electrical engineer HF": Is this course the right one for me?
The degree course in electrical engineering at a higher technical college can be completed in 2 years full-time or in 3 to 3.5 years part-time. The degree course in Electrical Engineering HF (formerly Technician HF Electrical Engineering) is aimed at professionals with an apprenticeship qualification in the field of electrical engineering and electronics. Students acquire in-depth specialist knowledge in electrical engineering and related subject areas, as well as the necessary skills to manage projects or lead a team. Successful graduates have good job and career prospects and are admitted to further training such as postgraduate courses in HF or a Bachelor's degree at a university of applied sciences for electrical engineering.
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 "Techniker HF Elektrotechnik" is now called "Elektrotechniker HF". In addition, the specializations in electronics and energy technology have been removed from the framework curriculum for this course. However, the schools can continue to offer specializations; this has no effect on the protected title.
HF electrical engineer (formerly HF electrical engineering technician): With a finger on the pulse of time
Electrical engineers HF (formerly technicians HF in the field of electrical engineering) can be found in all areas of industry and the service sector, especially in mechanical, electrical and electronics companies. Their field of application is therefore wide-ranging and overlaps with other disciplines such as electronics, information technology, computer science, measurement and control technology, energy technology and many more.
The electrical engineer HF, who previously held the title of technician HF electrical engineering, is characterized by a broad basic knowledge in the field of electrical engineering. He/she deals with issues in the entire electrical field and develops electrical and electronic circuits as well as programs for systems and devices to control processes. They may also be responsible for the transmission of information. They develop concepts independently as part of projects and work out technical solutions for complex areas. They are also responsible for testing systems and rectifying any faults found. They also have to technically approve devices and circuits and prepare cost estimates and tender documents. They work in middle management and are mainly employed in the areas of development, project planning or production, customer service or the test field. Within these areas, depending on the size of the projects and the field of application, they are deployed for the development or supervision of subsystems or entire projects.
Studying to become a qualified electrical engineer HF at a higher technical college for technology generally takes three years and can be completed while working. To be able to take part in this course, you must have completed a vocational apprenticeship in a technical field or equivalent training, have one year of professional experience in the subject area of the desired field of study, have sufficient grades in mathematics and, at some schools, pass an aptitude test or entrance examination. The following subjects are included in the course: electronics, electrical engineering, measurement technology, mathematics, microcomputer technology, communications engineering, physics, control engineering, computer engineering, etc. Upon successfully passing the final examination, students are awarded the federally recognized title of "Electrical Engineer HF" (formerly "Technician HF Electrical Engineering"). After two years of professional experience, students can apply for the European-recognized title "EurEta Engineer".
