What should the engineer do after retirement? Another question: Why is the young woman choosing to study engineering? – These people like to master intellectual challenges. You shouldn’t ban them just because they’re over a certain age limit.

Skills Shortage
There is a shortage of skilled workers in all sectors and areas, and it is getting worse and worse. This applies not only to Switzerland but at least to the whole of Western Europe. At the other end of the same issue is aging. At first, no connection may be apparent.
Passionate Pensioner
In semantic intuition, a well-known innovation technique, random things are recombined to see if something new results from it. In the present combination, lack of skilled workers and aging, there is a fallow on the silver platter! How many retired, passionate engineers who still want to take on challenges are there? Certainly more than zero.
Why should we cooperate with the experienced seniors?
Diversity and Experience
Not only quotas for women or different skin pigmentations contribute to diversity, even two generations with otherwise the same background are shaped differently. This exchange in the team is enormously fruitful, it is the combination of experience and the latest technology.
Passion
Passionate people are self-motivated. They give a lot to everything that can feed their passion and they are contagious. A full-blooded engineer looks forward to every new challenge. With every solution he satisfies his passion. And what happens when you retire?
