Engineering school

Engineering School Görlitz - GDR document folder

The engineering school (abbreviations: Ing.-Sch./IS ), also called Höhere Technische Lehranstalt (HTL), mechanical engineering school , technical middle school , engineering academy or technical academy , had the status of a higher technical school .

As the world's first engineering school was in France , the École nationale des ponts et chaussées ( "National School of Bridges and Roads") was established on February 14 1747th

Germany (Federal Republic and GDR)

The engineering schools existed in the Federal Republic of Germany until the early 1970s . In the GDR they continued to exist as engineering colleges until German reunification and then in a short transition phase.

Entry requirements were a certificate of middle school leaving certificate (in the GDR 10th grade polytechnic high school ) and a relevant completed vocational training.

The offer encompassed courses of study in the classical engineering sciences , which were initially given the state designation engineer after four or five semesters of schooling . Since January 17, 1964, following a resolution by the ministries of education and an increase to a six-semester training course as an engineer, graduates have been awarded the state qualification as an engineer. or Ing. (grad.) . In the GDR, the title of engineer was awarded after six semesters .

Well-known engineering schools were for example:

At the beginning of the 1970s, the engineering schools in the Federal Republic of Germany were dissolved and the infrastructure was used to establish a new type of university, the technical college .

This step became necessary because the industry demanded a universally applicable, academically, i.e. at university level, trained engineer who, however, was more application-oriented than the Dipl.-Ing. of technical universities should be geared to the needs of industry.

After the introduction of universities of applied sciences with their academic qualifications and the switch to the academic diploma degree, the question of a possible postgraduate diploma for engineering school graduates was discussed very controversially. Finally, the professional experience perspective prevailed. Normatively specified that graduates of previous facilities of the colleges, if they graduated or were nachgraduiert, without further qualification at a technical college the title Dipl.-Ing. or Dipl.-Ing. (FH) as a state name. The management authorization was regulated differently by law in the individual federal German states. In North Rhine-Westphalia , a certificate (subject to a fee) was issued upon request as proof of authorization to drive. Engineers who had completed their training at an institution in the former GDR submitted their application to the responsible ministry of education. The only prerequisite for this was proof of a relevant three-year (east) or five-year (west) professional activity as an engineer or graduate engineer. The opportunity to obtain a postgraduate degree was available until the end of 2008.

Austria

The Technical University of Vienna was founded in 1815 as the Imperial and Royal Polytechnic Institute , the Technical University of Graz in 1811 as the Joanneum Foundation with subsequent teaching activities, the Montan University Leoben in 1840 as the Styrian-Ständische Montanlehranstalt , and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna in 1872 as a university. Otherwise, today's higher technical educational institutions (HTL) , insofar as they also offered post-secondary education ( master courses , foreman schools ), were always referred to as an institution or (state) trade school .

The term engineering school was only used sporadically for the courses comparable to the foreman schools and the "university departments" called at technical schools (which had been called the faculty since the 1820s ):

  • in the 1840s as an engineering school for civil engineering at what was then k. k. Polytechnic Institute Vienna until the 1970s
  • In the post-war years 1919 as an electrical and mechanical engineering technical center with an evening engineering school at the Vienna Arsenal (1953 then merged with the Vienna University of Technology or the Chamber for Workers and Salaried Employees )
  • after the annexation of Austria , the HTLs (schools) were called that for a few years

Switzerland

The higher technical colleges (engineering schools) HTL, French Ecole technique supérieure (École d'ingénieurs) ETS, Italian Scuola tecnica superiore (Scuola d'ingegneria) STS , were with the enacted on 6 October 1995 University Education Act of the Federation in colleges ( FH, Haute école spécialisée HES, Scuola universitaria professionale SUP) converted (see there also for titles under old law).
