Overview
The Mechatronic Systems Design programme at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) starts with a year of advanced education, followed by a graduation design project of twelve months for industry. For company-EngD trainees the first year can be performed in maximum two years. A company-EngD trainee will perform the graduation design project for the company he/she is employed.
Key facts
- Besides educating technical talents, the MSD program cooperates with industry. Industry can provide challenging design assignments in the field of high tech systems (also combined with EngD programs Software Technology, Data Science, and Automotive Systems Design). A team of EngD trainees will work on the assignment for about two months. We only ask for some time to provide the trainees the necessary information, and to join weekly meetings that the trainees organize.
Career:
MSD graduates can start numerous types of jobs in high tech industry. Just to name a few functions that recent graduates started: System Designer, System Designer R&D, Systems Engineer, Mechatronic Designer/Integrator, Mechatronic Design Engineer, Mechatronics Systems Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer, R&D Engineer, Researcher, Sales Development Account Manager, Application Engineer, and various other functions.
