Design engineers focusing on mechanical engineering learn how to combine individual technical parts and elements to elaborate machine components and assemblies. The manifold ideas of the engineers are first captured in drafts and models which will later be converted into standardised drawings for manufacturing with the help of computer-aided CAD drawing programmes. Besides, the specialised calculations of the apprentices will serve as basis for the technical implementation of their projects.

BRINGING IDEAS TO LIFE

In a four year apprenticeship training, you will design models, create drafts and drawings and implement your ideas independently in the TGW training workshop with the technical skills of a mechanical engineer. As design engineer, you will pursue your project in all steps, from design engineering to manufacturing of machines, systems or components, and experience or rather animate the works you created. You will use the computer to design functional solutions for customers, engineer machines and entire systems, plan and control the manufacturing process of your designs. The parts lists you create will help to procure the components needed for manufacturing and installation. A proper documentation of the individual realisation steps within the projects will be the "icing on the cake" for the successful work of a design engineer.

From creating an idea over engineering the customer solution up to its production, installation and commissioning - you will be involved in any project phase, getting a comprehensive insight into the world of machine and plant engineering.
