As an automotive engineer, you can be involved in all stages of the engineering process, from research through to market demand, design and development, production, and the evaluation of vehicle systems and components. You can contribute to building and evaluating an engine, transmission and chassis systems and components, including all the underlying control strategies and embedded electronic systems.

As a graduate of the master track Control Systems you will have countless job opportunities in the technical branches of industry. You will also be qualified to work outside the technical sector: your expertise will be welcome in higher education, research institutes and development groups in companies and organisations. The general applicability of the course will also qualify you to teach Control Systems Engineering anywhere in the world.

As an embedded systems engineer, you develop innovative electronic products using microcontrollers and you are involved in the design, development, production an evaluation of all kinds of intelligent systems and smart devices. Using customer requirements and specifications, the embedded software/hardware developer develops the electronic hardware and software that make up a high-tech product.

As a sustainable energy engineer, you will have an active role in the transition towards a sustainable energy system. You will work on the development of technology, models and smart control of sustainable systems for energy generation, storage or distribution at local, regional or (inter)national level. You may be employed by SMEs, grid operators, energy providers or government departments to develop innovative energy systems or play a role in maintaining the energy balance on an (inter)national scale.
