German Engineering Market Looks Set For 2010

By: Matchtech
Market sentiment suggests that there is a positive period ahead after Germany is officially declared to be out of recession.
The engineering market of Germany is showing signs of improvement, and 2010 should be a growth phase in many of the core markets, including Aerospace, Automotive and Energy. Matchtech GmbH, a leading engineering recruitment consultancy in Germany, is also growing fast, with the recruitment of new Consultants to cope with additional workload as client activity increases.
In the Aerospace industry, development of the A400M and composite A350 aircraft at Airbus hubs in both Southern and Northern Germany continues, and our clients in the 1st and 2nd tier supply chain are not only working on these high-profile programmes, but also bidding for involvement in new opportunities. We are currently in need of Design Engineers (particularly with CATIA v5 experience), and Stress Engineers (with NASTRAN, PATRAN, ISSY or ISAMI experience) for long term contracts.
The German Energy sector has aspiring plans in place for the development of brand new renewable energy infrastructure in the next years, and we are picking up opportunities across the board in both renewable and traditional energy in Northern Germany for contract or permanent Engineers in Design, Analysis, Quality and Project Engineering.
In the Automotive market, whilst production levels are still well down on the position of twelve months ago, many of our clients in the supply chain and in the consultancy sector are seeing an upturn in fortunes. We are in need of Calibration Engineers for both engines and transmissions, and Design Engineers with CATIA v5 or PROENGINEER experience to work in engines, interiors, body and plastics development. We also need to hear from Hybrid Engineers for a wide range of interesting permanent and contract opportunities.

Aeronautics Career Schooling

Aeronautics Career Schooling

By Renata McGee

The technology used in aircrafts is sophisticated and includes everything from radios, navigation systems, and flight computers, to fuel systems. Students can enter vocational training and earn a degree in aeronautics. Schooling constantly updates to include the latest technology advances, which leaves students with skills needed to enter the workforce.

Students that work through a program inside a vocational technical college will find that there are two main options to choose from. The majority of schools offer training at the associate's and bachelor's degree level. Programs are completely dedicated to providing students with in depth understanding and workable knowledge of aeronautics equipment and technology. Choosing a program is easier when students base it on their career goals.

Depending on the school being attended students can work through different programs at the associate's degree level. Aviation electronics and aviation maintenance are two possible options available to students. Working through an electronics program teaches students to operate the electrical equipment used in aircrafts. Specialized courses are taken through subjects that provide students with the ability to work with fuel systems, electronics, and the different communication systems integrated into an aircraft. Some courses in an aviation electronics degree program include:

• Aviation Control Systems
• Collision Avoidance Systems
• Electronics Theory
• Air Transport Labor Law
• Flight-Line Maintenance

Students can expect to learn the skills needed to work directly with aircraft communication and diagnostic systems. Maintenance programs center on teaching students the knowledge of different inspection processes. Students can expect to learn how to analyze, fix, and manage airplanes by troubleshooting equipment. Hands-on training provides in depth learning and may include courses on:

• Air Transportation Regulations
• Repair materials
• Servicing Procedures
• Aircraft Blueprints

Study at the associate's degree level prepares students for various careers and opens up the opportunity to advance knowledge in further study. Students can start or continue education at the bachelor's degree level if desired. Students should expect to learn technical aspects regarding technology, design, production, and management of different aircrafts. Although courses and subjects may vary depending on the concentration basic courses may include:

• Basic Flight Training
• Aircraft Engine Design
• Aviation Controls
• Airport Management
• Aeronautic Propulsion Systems

The career opportunities available to students are wide providing them with many ways to not only advance inside the industry but also continue education if desired. Through the completion of an associate's or bachelor's degree program students can become pilots, safety experts, aviation technicians, engineers, and electronics specialists. Continuing education is available at the graduate degree level at traditional colleges. Many students choose to work for a couple of years before earning a graduate degree. Specialized and advanced careers are available to students that continue education.

The need for trained and skilled individuals will only continue to increase as the electronics and equipment used in aircrafts continue to advance in technology. Students can enter this exciting career field by completing an accredited degree program in aeronautics. Full accreditation is provided by agencies like the Council on Aviation Accreditation http://www.aabi.aero/ to quality educational training programs that offer students the best education possible.
