System technician CHE: What are the disadvantages of studying?

After completing your training as a systems engineer CHE, you will be able to design and optimize projects for systems in production automation, robotics, traffic engineering, data transmission and mechanical engineering. You will combine mechanics, electrical engineering and IT to develop control software, system components and economical and user-friendly technical solutions.

The main disadvantages of training to become a qualified systems technician CHE are:

  1. Due to the two to three-year duration of the course, studying to become a qualified systems engineer CHE requires a great deal of time commitment and a high degree of self-discipline and motivation.
  2. Despite cantonal contributions, the cost of the entire course of study is expected to be between CHF 15,600 and CHF 22,300, depending on the school. With the full-time option, there is also no income.
  3. During the course, a wide range of subjects from the fields of business administration, software engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, project management, digital technology, programming, control engineering, automation, business administration and English are covered - this broad mix of subjects can sometimes be overwhelming.
  4. The degree in systems engineering CHE is largely unknown outside of Switzerland and not all foreign managers working in Switzerland are familiar with the CHE degree and its significance. However, the Swiss job market in the field of mechanical engineering offers interesting career opportunities that stand up to international comparison.
  5. They need to keep up to date with the latest technological developments.

 

System technicians CHE work in companies with production facilities, in engineering offices, in research and development departments of companies or in customer consulting. They can work in many areas, for example in automation technology, mechanical and plant engineering, in the manufacture of measuring and diagnostic equipment, in robotics, in aerospace technology or in drive technology. They often work in management positions, e.g. as project, development or production managers, as technicians in customer service and commissioning or as product managers. Depending on the company, they lead a team or projects. Some also set up their own company.
