Exchange programs
Advanced Mobility Implementing high-tech mobility solutions
Always wanted to create the car of the future? The thought of combining a car with full or partial self-driving capabilities warm your heart? Then this program is just what you’re looking for! You gain an industry edge and prepare to work with businesses like Google, Apple and Tesla.
Automotive Research Semester
Like to gain experience in vehicle technology, management, structural design… The list goes on! This is your chance to learn from the experts. On the actual work floor. You work in a group to produce a final innovation project. And report your project at the end of the semester at a group symposium!
Automotive Specialization Semester
Want to be specialized in structural design and vehicle technology? Powertrains and business management? Or maybe Automotive manufacturing and vehicle electronics and control? This is your chance to go after it! Choose a combo of any 2 specializations and learn from some of the best in the business.
Co-Create Urban Transition
Transforming a rural society into an urban landscape. Amazing! But highly challenging. You tackle themes like quality of life and aging. And learn how to conduct interdisciplinary and real-life research. To manage social, technical and economic issues. And how to co-create.
Electronics: Design, signals and systems
Imagine engineering an entire electronics system. Signals and all. And then building a working prototype. Exactly what you do during this program! Collaborate with a group of classmates. Either in your class or from another degree program. Take what you learn. And show us what you’ve got!
Embedded: Embedded Systems Design
Ever see a systems design and think “I could do that”? Well, this is where you get your start. You learn the basics of systems design and embedding. How to design and develop software applications. And improve your C++ skills. You learn all this and more!
Embedded Vision Design
Learn to develop an entire technical system, focused on image data. Or a set of vision operators for application in embedded systems. Here, you learn to translate customer ideas into technical specs. Present and demonstrate your own developed products with confidence. And more.
Industrial and Power Systems
Like to be in charge of an industrial or power system? This program helps you get there. You learn to rotate magnetic field machines. The ins and outs of power converters, choppers and inverters. Symmetrical short-circuit currents. And Conductor cross-sections that comply with NEN1010.
Lightweight Structural Vehicle Design
Taking an idea for a lightweight vehicle and bringing it into reality. Very cool! You learn about the practice of modern vehicle design based on solid theory. You also get your hands dirty with practical work. Learn to use the latest software tools and composites. And go on regular site visits.
Powertrain
Take an engine. Design a transmission and drive shaft. Top it off with differentials and the final drive. Your calculations are right. Your powertrain is complete! During this exchange program, you enhance your skill set. Deepen your knowledge of construction principles. Analyze load processes…
Semiconductor Packaging
Want to learn from professionals in the semiconductor industry? Work with experts on your practical assignment and take your learning from classroom to work floor?
Mobile Robotics
Looking to step up your AGV skills? Want to take your study of robotics further? Go beyond autonomous cars? This exchange program gets you there.
