Technics B.Sc., Gymnasium und Gesamtschule Teacher at RWTH Aachen University

Whoever understands how technical inventions work, what they can achieve, and what effects they have on society, can responsibly help shape future developments – maybe as an engineer, but also maybe in politics or in personal consumer behavior. Technology lessons offer school students an early oppotunity to be introduced to interdisciplinary and practically-oriented, systematic, technical thinking. And it answers the time-old question "Why do I even need math and physics?" with an answer that is literally tangible.

Career pathways

The subject technology is currently viewed as a subject that is under-offered. Although only a few Gymnasien and Gesamtschulen offer the subject so far, the state government's current STEM activities are initiating more movement in the job market.
