{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
—for future engineers.

[00:20:00]
{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
Now I had a another question before we go forward with the uh, what you did—

[00:20:06]
—I've been talking to some other people here, [[stammer]] Arthur Rudolph in Hamburg. I've noted that there was sometimes some tension between the Diplom Ingenieur and the Fachschulingenieur,—

[00:20:20]
—so that you had this different kind of engineer: the 2-year, Fachschul-type engineer.

{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
Yeah.

[00:20:27]
{SPEAKER name="MICHAEL NEUFELD"}
What was the training of those, um, Fachschulingenieur and how did that differ and was there tension?

[00:20:36]
{SPEAKER name="KARL HEIMBURG"}
The Fachschulingenieur had — before he entered his Fachschule — two years of practical experience, against the future Diplom Ingenieur
who had to have only 1.

[00:20:51]
And, uh, [[pause]] yes there was some discrepancies. For example, in the design.

[00:21:05]
When you started in the design, the Fachschulingenieur had an advantage against the Diplom Ingenieur because he had by far more praxis in the school already than the Diplom Ingenieur.

[00:21:18]
But that took some time and then this was overcome.

[00:21:24]
And I personally, maybe I should mention that, generally in Germany they said a young engineer should start out with a 'board before his head' [[laugh]] — you know, in design.

[00:21:41]
And should stay in design for at least 2-3 years before he does something else, and I personally agree with that.

[00:21:53]
This is an additional education, if you go into design. And um, I give you an example, which shows you that, in spite of your practical experience which have you still make your mistakes as a young engineer, for example, um—


Transcription Notes:
1. I'm not sure if "Auter Rudolph in Hamburgh" was what Michael said, but I did my best at sounding it out. 2. The engineer types they are talking about are in German and I'm not quite sure what the word is. 1. 'Arthur Rudolph' 2. Diplom Ingenieur Fachschulingenieur
