Training program

The regular programme means that an robotic designer attends a combination of education and a solution on a design problem. The customised curriculum consists of courses, self-study, doing some small projects and one major project (of 60ECTS). The main focus is on designing, but there are plenty of choices for a specialization in the field of Robotics. The topics will be predetermined by the organization, and the major project will be done at the organization. The educational programme focuses on broadening and in-depth field specific knowledge with ample attention for professional development of the trainee.

Broadening

Trainees can - together with the organization and supervising professor- choose from a wide range of courses focused on broadening knowledge; for example environmental, safety, ergonomics, regulatory, business economics and risk management.

In-Depth

Trainees will learn the latest knowledge about the project’s subject. Because the subject of the design project will be different, the curriculum is not predetermined. But one can think of multi-body dynamics, sensors and actuators, control technology, mechatronics, system identification and material technology.

Professional Development

This could include project management, time management, presentation skills, conflict management, negotiation, ethics, technical writing, intercultural cooperation, feedback and reflection and meeting techniques.
