Introduction
Electrical and Electronic Engineering – major Mechatronics
Will you be designing and building a robotic arm to pave the way for new surgery methods? Will your drone make firefighters safer at work? Will you be designing the drivetrain and electric engine for a solar-powered car? With the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme’s Mechatronics major, offered by Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, the Netherlands, you’ll set the world in motion.

Curriculum
Year 1
You'll receive an introduction to the multifaceted, exciting and wide-ranging world of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme together with all other first-year Electrical and Electronic Engineering students. You'll be taking your first steps in designing and developing electrical and electronic products. Subjects will include mathematics, programming, and analogue and digital techniques. In addition, you'll be taking various practicals. Together with fellow students, you'll be completing project assignments based on intriguing challenges to put what you've learned into practice straight away. For example, you might learn to design and build a stress monitoring system or miniature energy supply.
If you find out during the year that you'd rather study a different Electrical and Electronic Engineering specialisation (Sensor Technology or Electronics), or would rather study the degree programme in Dutch, it's not a problem! You can just switch.
Year 2
In the second year, you'll dig into the specialisation you've chosen. If you chose Mechatronics, you'll be learning more about mechanical drivetrains, control engineering and programming. You'll study the theory of a variety of new topics, take practicals in workshops and apply the knowledge and skills you've gained in various projects.
Year 3
In the third year, you'll explore your specialisation in even greater depth by taking a minor and doing an internship. How you use your elective space is up to you: you can take a minor at Hanze UAS, another university of applied sciences in the Netherlands or even abroad! During your internship, you'll put your knowledge and skills into practice for a national or international company or organisation. You decide for yourself which one.
Year 4 - Graduation Phase
In the fourth year, you'll conclude your degree programme with an in-depth minor. In addition, you'll be completing a graduation project for a national or international company or organisation. With your graduation assignment you will demonstrate that you’ve acquired the skills of a mechatronics engineer highly desired by the professional field!
