Here's how you can smoothly transition from a technician role to a manufacturing engineering position.

I started as an electrical engineering technician and then an instrumentation technician. At the time, I worked for ALCOA. They paid for continued education. It was difficult to get a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering solely online. At the time, I had an Associates Degree in Electrical Engineering and an Associates Degree in Microcomputer Science. I decided to go back to college to the University of Maryland University College. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Technology. Eventually, I was promoted to an electrical engineering position. I mostly do PLC control and HMI development work. I still work with instrumentation.

Need to add bachelor's engineering qualification in your profile as well as to have certification of AutoCAD, Lean Six Sigma...

Most of the just graduated engineers started in technician roles due to lack of experience. Transition beetwen a technician and enginnering role requires a strong background in the specific area and a metodologies in problem solving process, data management and creative solutions. The advantage of started in technical roles is the knowledge in how to do the things working with "hands".

Staying updated on industry developments is crucial for success in manufacturing engineering. Attending seminars and workshops allows you to learn about the latest technologies, trends, and best practices directly from experts in the field. Online resources such as webinars, forums, and industry publications provide convenient access to a wealth of information and insights. By actively engaging with these resources, you can expand your knowledge, stay informed about emerging technologies and methodologies, and gain a competitive edge in the field. This continuous learning approach demonstrates your commitment to professional growth and positions you as a valuable asset to employers in the manufacturing engineering sector.

En fonction de l'analyse des points forts et des points faibles des chaudronniers dans chaque aspect du processus de Réalisation, voici quelques recommandations pour améliorer ses compétences et sa performance :

1. Principe de développement des lignes : • Organisez des ateliers interactifs où les chaudronniers peuvent pratiquer le développement des lignes sur des exemples concrets de pièces à fabriquer. Encouragez-les à travailler sur des projets réels pour appliquer directement les principes appris. • Proposez des ressources pédagogiques telles que des manuels illustrés, des tutoriels vidéo et des simulations informatiques pour aider les chaudronniers à comprendre les concepts de développement des lignes de manière plus approfondie.

2. Principes de triangulation : • Organisez des sessions de formation pratiques où les chaudronniers peuvent travailler sur des exercices de triangulation réels, en utilisant des maquettes et des outils de mesure précis. Encouragez-les à résoudre des problèmes de triangulation complexes pour renforcer leur compréhension. • Intégrez des études de cas réels où les principes de triangulation sont mis en pratique, en mettant l'accent sur les applications concrètes dans la chaudronnerie, comme la fabrication de réservoirs, de tuyauteries, etc.
