Professional Doctorate Engineer Programme in Mechatronic Systems at Eindhoven University of Technology

This 2-year program, accredited by the Dutch Ministry of Education, starts on October 30, 2017. This program focuses on systems design and architecture in an high-tech systems context and trains graduates from related disciplines to become the professional system designers and architects that the industry needs to conceive its new, innovative products and who can participate in and/or lead the multidisciplinary teams that realize these.

The program is devoted to deepening, broadening and reinforcing Mechatronics related technological knowledge and competencies, as well as personal and professional skills. This program with a unique structure consists of 4 educational blocks followed by a 12 months individual design project in industry. In each of the 4 blocks about half the time is spent on lectures, workshops and training, and the other half on a project, solving a real-life problem from one of the industrial partners. The lecturers, who mostly have an extensive experience in industry and who cover the theory on topics such as systems architecture, design, and problem solving, return as coach during the projects to help translate the theory to practical solutions. Projects are selected from different domains and address various technological areas to both provide multidisciplinary exposure and enhance cross-domain thinking. The lectures are in part general, in part tailored to the problem domain coming up. In this set-up the trainee gets the opportunity to experience the different roles that make a good team.
