Location of University of Twente (UT)
The two-year MSc programme in Systems and Control is aimed at students with a technical BSc background interested in analysis and control of dynamic systems in their widest sense.
The program addresses both fundamental and application-specific features, emphasizing the multidisciplinary character of the field. It gives attention to applications in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, applied physics, chemical and aerospace engineering. Combining the disciplines above results in an interdisciplinary approach, with attention given to modeling, experimental design, mathematical system theory, signal analysis and processing, model-based control design, and hardware and software systems. For systems of high complexity, such as high-order, non-linear or time-delay dynamics, hybrid and embedded systems, study targets range from small-scale micro-systems to large-scale industrial processes. An MSc degree in Systems and Control will surely be an essential engineering qualification for future decades.

Specialities:
Robotics and Mechatronics:
The Robotics and Mechatronics specialization studies a synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics and measurement and control in the design of products and processes. It focuses on Mechatronic Design that can be defined as: the integrated and optimal design of a mechanical system and its embedded control system. Mechanical constructions can get a superior performance, lower price and can become more flexible, by means of an integrated design of the mechanical parts and the measurement and control system, realized in electronic circuits or as an embedded computer programme. Well known examples are the audio CD-player and its successors the CD-ROM, DVD and Blu-ray as well as many automotive applications, robots, advanced production machines and so on. The research in Twente is increasingly found in the field of advanced robotics, including robotics in medical applications.
Systems and Control Theory:
Control problems have been around for a long time. With the rise of automated manufacturing in the nineteenth century, control mechanisms gained in importance. Watt's fly-ball governor, a device that controls the steam pressure, meant a breakthrough and directly contributed to the industrial revolution. Up to this day the manufacturing of servo mechanisms plays an important part in mechanical engineering (e.g. in robot technology.) Within the electrical engineering community the need for a theoretical underpinning of the behavior of interconnected components arose through questions like: how may we mathematically model a (complicated) electrical circuit, and conversely, given a mathematical model, how may we implement it as an electrical device. Once mathematically formulated, it was found that the above problems of mechanical en electrical engineering had much in common and that in fact they belong to a single area, an area that nowadays is called âsystems and controlâ. The mathematics of systems and control involve analytical as well as algebraic notions, possibly because "change over time" and "relation between quantities" both are central in systems and control problems.
