Specializations

Four sections (research groups) are involved in the S&C Master’s program. They are Control Systems (Electrical Engineering), Electromechanics and Power Electronics (Electrical Engineering), Dynamics and Control (Mechanical Engineering) and Control Systems Technology (Mechanical Engineering). 

The sections have created a number of profiles (these profiles can be found under the downloads). The profiles provide students with more detailed information on the relation between their specialization; individual course program and internship- and MSc project opportunities. Furthermore, the profiles help students with their choices. Students should be able to follow different paths and develop different expertise profiles. These profiles are created to guide and assist students and do not form any formal tracks within the S&C program. They are suggestions and not mandatory.

Your study program has to be discussed with your mentor and approved by the Examination Committee. Your mentor is one of the assistant, associate or full professors of the four sections.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is responsible for the MSc program Mechanical Engineering (ME), and the interdepartmental MSc programs Automotive Technology (AT), Systems and Control (S&C), and Sustainable Energy Technology (SET).
In order to ensure that MSc students will get a mentor in time, a procedure has been implemented within the Department of Mechanical Engineering to allocate students to sections or divisions. Timely allocation of a mentor is important to help students choose the courses before the start of the first quartile for students ME 

The regulations for the procedure presented below apply to all four programs.

Specialization & profiles

In the first quarter  you will be informed further about the specializations and the sections will present themselves. You can already check out the specialization options (profiles) within each section. In the download menu you can find an overview of the profiles and a program specific presentation for most sections; covering only relevant research areas.

On their website (see overview below) the sections present all research areas covered. Please note that not all research topics in each section are necessarily relevant to this program. The sections are autonomous, and are also involved in other programs.
