EngD in Autonomous Systems: Automated detection of invasive aquatic plants

Are you a master's graduate interested in developing automated systems for aquatic plant management? Join the Engineering Doctorate (EngD) program in Autonomous Systems, where you'll work on cutting-edge environmental projects. This is your opportunity to make an impact!

This two-year post-master’s program offers a blend of academic training and hands-on experience. You'll collaborate with Harkboot.nl and other partners to develop AI-driven sensor systems and autonomous solutions for aquatic plant detection, classification, and control.

EngD program overview
In the first year of the EngD program, trainees receive comprehensive training in systems engineering, covering mechanical engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, and specialized topics like cyber-physical systems, robotics, and nonlinear control systems. The first year also includes a 10-week project module, allowing trainees to apply their skills to real-world challenges.
In the second year, trainees complete a one-year internship, collaborating with Harkboot.nl and partners to develop autonomous systems for aquatic plant management. This hands-on experience further enhances their problem-solving abilities.
The program also focuses on professional development, offering training in communication, project management, teamwork, and research methods, with opportunities to take advanced courses at the University of Groningen or 4TU.
