Program overview

An embedded system is a combination of hardware systems (electrical engineering) and software systems (computer science) built into equipment that we don’t always recognize as being computerized, such as the systems that control a car’s anti-lock brakes, the automatic pilot of an aircraft or the sensors and filters used in processing plants. Embedded systems call for real-time operation, reliability, maintainability and cost-effectiveness, which places heavy demands on software (user interfaces, data processing, machine control) and hardware (I/O, Asics, DSP, FPGA).

    Career opportunities

    Graduates build their own future based on their personal interests, whether they’d like to be a researcher, a designer (developer of new products and services) or an organizer (managing an engineering department or providing consultancy services). Students can combine research and development in the R&D departments of companies. Think of radar technology (Thales), energy efficient solutions (NXP semiconductors, Nedap), latest technology for manufacturing integrated circuits (ASML). Embedded systems graduates also started their career at TNO, ProDrive, Benchmark Electronics, Recore Systems, etc.
