Engineer and vocational school teacher - the "+" of future
Germany's skilled workers are top-notch - thanks to dual training in companies and vocational schools. To this end, we train vocational school teachers who are both technically and mathematically fit and have social and didactic skills for the teaching profession. The combination of an engineering degree with the teaching profession means excellent career prospects in two exciting specializations:
Automotive engineering - development has rarely been more energetic. Designing sustainable mobility, experiencing freedom.
Manufacturing technology - networked, energy-efficient and resource-saving. Enabling design freedom and individuality through additive manufacturing.
Design and teach technology
The program opens up two professional worlds: After the bachelor's degree, directly into industry or with a subsequent master's degree into teaching.
The activities of an automotive engineer are diverse. You plan, develop and test products for the automotive industry, are responsible for economical production or quality assurance. In addition to industry, you can also work in engineering offices, government agencies and associations. As a result of the growing engineering gap, the demand for engineers is enormous, and the earning potential is in the top bracket. Industrial companies in mechanical engineering offer excellent working conditions and outstanding social benefits.
In the teaching profession, enjoyment in dealing with trainees is as valuable as technical skills. Organizational and communication skills also play a major role. The Automotive Engineering PLUS bachelor's degree program therefore also teaches didactics, vocational pedagogy, communication skills, and management and leadership skills.
Profession & Perspectives
Upon successful completion of the program, you will be awarded the title of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), giving you the opportunity to work directly in industry as an engineer or to obtain a master's degree at universities. The master's degree program "Higher teaching qualification at vocational schools in automotive and manufacturing engineering" enables you to enter the teaching profession. Here, the chances of being hired are excellent, regardless of economic fluctuations.

Curriculum
Structure
The program is conducted jointly with the Weingarten University of Education and the Weingarten State Seminar for Didactics and Teacher Education. This enables you to acquire didactic skills already in your basic studies.
Many practical phases and internships in well-equipped laboratories and at school complement the theory. The fourth semester is a practical study semester in which you work independently on a project from your future working world.
The main course of study is structured by elective modules and project work according to your preferences.
The Bachelor's thesis, which is written at the university or in cooperation with companies, marks the end of the program.
The degree program also enables you to take the trainer aptitude test at the IHK (Chamber of Industry and Commerce ).

SEMESTER FEE
Each semester , a semester fee is due for all students upon enrollment or re-registration. This fee is charged at a similar rate by all universities in Germany.
Composition and amount of the fee
FEES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND FOR SECOND DEGREE PROGRAMS
In Baden-Württemberg, there has been a tuition fee for international students (non-EU citizens) and a second-study fee since the winter semester 2017/2018. Thus, in some cases, a tuition fee must be paid in addition to the semester fee.
Prior to enrollment, applicants from non-EU countries or applicants for a second degree will receive a form to assess whether a tuition fee obligation actually exists.
The amounts and detailed information can be found under Finances
