Master in Engineering Systems part-time

De HAN geeft proefcolleges, met een speciaal programma. Tijdens zo'n proefcollege staat 1 onderwerp uit een opleiding centraal. Een (hoofd)docent geeft hier een college over.

Tijdens zo'n proefcollege krijg je een goede indruk van wat er tijdens de opleiding aan de orde komt, en hoe de colleges verlopen. En: je hebt meteen een gratis update van je kennis over het onderwerp.

De meeste proefcolleges zijn weer fysiek te volgen op de campus. Sommige colleges vinden online plaats. Maar of je nu meedoet op de campus of achter je laptop, ontdek of de studie die je op het oog hebt bij je past. Meld je aan voor een Proefcollege!

All tracks of the Master in Engineering Systems follow these 2 compulsory modules.

Systems Modelling

Here you learn to create a white-box model of a real-world process in the electrical, mechanical and chemical domain. How? Using the 4+1 step approach.

You learn to use model representations such as differential equations, transfer functions and state space. And you discover the ins and outs of tools such as Bode plots and Nyquist diagrams.

What about simulating your model? For that you become proficient in MATLAB Simulink. And to conclude the modelling process, you validate your model and estimate its parameters.

Part of this 1st module is strengthening your project and research skills.

Topics:

Applied physics
Introduction to modelling
Practice modelling and simulation
Energy-based modelling
System identification
Minor project modelling systems (includes research skills)

Watch the video about the module Systems Modelling

Applied Control

The Applied Control module starts with analyzing a physical system and/or a model. This might be a 1st order, 2nd order or higher order system. Or a linear or nonlinear model or SISO/MIMO system.

You master techniques such as pole–zero plot, Bode, Nyquist diagrams and step responses. These techniques are for determining the requirements of the controlled system. Another important skill you work on is discussing controller specifications with a client. So discussing specifications like stability, offset, settling time, overshoot, phase and gain margin.

You also learn to create an analogue and/or digital feedback controller for a linear physical system. To do this you need to use the right techniques. For example, applying anti-windup and bumpless transfer schemes, selecting resolution and sample rate.

Can you properly communicate your core findings? And justify your choices? During this module, you’ll be fine-tuning your communication skills as well.

Finally, you master the skill of actually applying control strategies. So strategies like feedforward, cascade, compensation and override. How? Using frequency-response and root-locus techniques. And you learn to implement a controller on a suitable platform.

Topics:

Analysis of physical systems and/or models
Pole-zero plot, Bode, Nyquist diagrams, step responses
Controller specifications
Analogue and digital feedback controllers
Control strategies

In the part-time Sustainable Energy track you follow the general, compulsory modules Applied Control and Systems Modeling. All students of the Master in Engineering Systems follow these. You also take 2 track-specific modules. One of these is Sustainable Energy Systems. The other is your own choice: Smart Power Supply or Hydrogen Technology.

Get an inside view of the Sustainable Energy program at HAN. Become a student for a day, join a sample lecture or meet 1:1 with a lecturer or student online. We are currently offering the following activities:

Meet 1:1

The final step of the Sustainable Energy track is your major project. Here you investigate a sustainable energy issue at your own workplace. Demonstrate your technical knowledge and skills as well as your communication, reporting and presenting skills. You get the support of a HAN staff member and a supervisor from your workplace.

Dutch grading uses a 10-point system. The highest grade is a 10, the lowest a 1. To pass, you need at least a 6. What if you score a 5.5? It’s rounded up to a 6 and is then a passing grade. A grade of 5.4 is rounded down to a 5 and is therefore a fail.

Here’s a basic definition of each grade. Please note: grades of 1, 2, 3 and 10 are rarely given. A 9 is also quite rare. So, if you get an 8, you’re doing very well!

At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard system used in higher education throughout Europe. One credit is equivalent to approximately 28 hours of study. This includes contact hours and time spent working on assignments and studying for exams. Credits are awarded when you pass your exams.

During the graduation project you learn to:

1. Analyze and define problems

Critically analyze the engineering problem through active communication with the problem owner.
Based on this analysis, formulate a problem, come up with feasible approaches towards a solution, draw scientifically valid conclusions and make recommendations, again to be communicated again to the problem owner.

2. Design

Systematically translate the engineering problem to a model at an abstract level, (i.e. reducing it to its essentials in terms of model and problem requirements).
Validate results against the real-life situation and problem formulation.

3. Test

Systematically translate the engineering problem to a concrete level.
Validate results against the real-life situation and problem formulation.

4. Manage work processes

Place engineering activities within the perspective of engineering company processes, including quality control principles.
Incorporate the economical (cost) and societal (safety, sustainability) consequences in the design or development process.

5. Conduct research

Gain specialized scientific knowledge and skills in the field of engineering.

6. Communicate and collaborate

Work on a problem within a multidisciplinary context in an industrial environment.
Work on a problem in an international engineering context in an industrial environment.

7. Work on your professional development

Through self-reflection, improve one’s own professional performance
