Content of the training

The Sensors & Smart Systems specialization focuses on designing, building, and programming smart systems with sensors. You'll learn how sensors can be used to make devices, machines, and buildings smarter, with applications in healthcare, energy, industry, and mobility. During the program, you'll develop knowledge and skills in robotics, programming, control systems, and data communication, and work directly on practical assignments for real-world companies.

Form of the training (program)

The program is structured over four years. In the first year, you'll be introduced to Electrical and Electronic Engineering and work on practical assignments such as designing a stress meter or a mini-energy system. In the second year, you'll specialize in Sensor Technology with practical assignments in workshops and projects. The third year offers opportunities for a minor and an internship, either nationally or internationally. In the fourth year, you'll take an in-depth minor and complete a graduation project at a (inter)national company or organization.

Practical information

The program is offered in small, personalized groups with ample opportunity for guidance and mentoring. The program collaborates closely with industry partners, such as Energy Academy Europe and ENTRANCE, allowing you to gain practical experience. After completing the bachelor's degree, you will be qualified to work as an R&D engineer, automation engineer, lead engineer, or industrialization engineer, and you can progress to a master's program such as Smart Systems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Renewable Energy. The job prospects are excellent, with 89% of graduates finding a job within a year.
