Robotics

Large robot-technical companies have created the robotics platform Holland RoboNet in association with different Dutch educational and research institutions in 2010. RoboNet workshops show that there is a need for high qualified employees, who have been in contact with the state-of-art of robotics. The market requires for high qualified designers who have the knowledge of modern robot-technological issues. But above all they need employees who know how to work properly in a multidisciplinary design team who are dealing with solving complex issues.

The PDEng programme in Robotics focuses on creating technical solutions for the industrial sector (i.e. automatic welding robots), for maintenance and inspection (i.e. sewer inspection) and for medical use (like rehabilitation or surgical robotics). The track is based on functional and market based requirements and focuses on quality, environment, safety and sustainability. A methodological approach, who tackles the always present uncertainties, always comes first.

Employers of graduates of this PDEng programme are often the organizations were the trainees do their design assignments. The branches of these organizations varies from large multinationals to smaller companies in the industrial, maintenance and medical sector.

The selection procedure to apply for the PDEng programme in Robotics is strict: only the best MSc graduates will be admitted. Graduates of this program distinguish themselves from MSc graduates by switching quicker between different levels (zoom in on details and back to the bigger picture of the design), a wider range of skills by being creative and out-of-the-box thinking, better able to see the connection between different disciplines and integrate them into the design.

Certification

On successfully completing the programme, the trainee will receive a certified, and recognized degree. He/she will be entitled to use the academic degree Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) and will be registered as a Technological Designer in the Dutch register kept by the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands (KIVINIRIA). The quality of the programmes is assured by an assessment and certification procedure on behalf of the Dutch Certification Committee for Courses to become Technological Designer (CCTO, Nederlandse Certificatie Commissie voor Opleidingen tot Technologisch Ontwerper).
