Specialities:

Biomedical Systems:

In measurement and control of human functions, electrical engineering principles can play a key role in the improvement of the quality of life. For mobility restoration and rehabilitation, for example, artificial stimulation techniques are becoming more refined. New non-invasive measurement techniques and highly miniaturized lab-on-a-chip systems modernize healthcare drastically. If you want to become an active player in innovative developments in healthcare, the specialization Biomedical Systems is the right choice. Research in this field is concentrated within the Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine (MIRA) and involves close cooperation with the local hospital and the renowned rehabilitation centre, Het Roessingh in Enschede. This institute also has many international research partners. The Biomedical Systems specialization benefits from intensive cooperation with the faculty of Science and Technology.

Electronic System Design:

Electronic systems currently represents a key area of development in our information society. Systems with âon-board intelligenceâ, a smart combination of hardware and software, are all around us: they are used in automotive applications, in our homes and in advanced industrial applications. The design methodology of these systems is the focus of the Electronic System Design specialization, and includes designing integrated analog, digital and mixed signal systems, specifically real time system. The typical system approach ranges from the component level to the application context. Electronic systems research is part of the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT), and is completed in close cooperation with Computer Science groups.

Measurement and Control Engineering:

This specialization focuses on monitoring a broad variety of industrial processes, traffic flows, and energy uses. Intelligent systems and algorithms for measurement and control are the guardians of most of modern technology. New adaptive, âlearningâ and intelligent control loops provide us with systems that respond faster, more efficiently and are more cost-effective. Also, measurement technology profits successfully from miniaturization, making it possible to integrate measurement functions including the necessary signal processing, for example in multi-sensor measurement strategies. During the Measurement and Control Engineering programme, you will specialize in this highly application-oriented field. Research in this area at the University of Twente is completed within the research institutes IMPACT and CTIT. If you are interested in following a specialization in Robotics and Mechatronics, please check the 3TU masterâs programme of Systems and Control.

Microsystems and Micro-electronics:

Following the rapid developments in the semiconductor world, micro-electronics have led to a whole line of technologies, products and applications primarily based on silicon technology. Micromechanical, micro-optical, micromagnetic and microchemical systems provide us with new ways of sensing, storing and transporting information and are the foundation for tomorrowâs information society. Choosing the Microsystems and Micro-electronics specialization means that you will play an active role in designing these concepts. The research institute MESA+ of the University of Twente specializes in this competitive field and it has established an excellent reputation worldwide.

Telecommunication Networks:

Telecommunication networks now connect highly demanding users, providing them with a growing number of services. Growing bandwidths, limited resources, higher mobility, higher risks of interference and disturbances: they all create new challenges for the technical expert. From an electrical engineering perspective, this means relying on knowledge of communication systems, optical and other transmission media, mobile communication, signal theory, coding and modulation, and electromagnetic compatibility. These all are typical topics for the specialization Telecommunication Networks. Research in this field is concentrated within the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT). Dutch industry has a solid position in telecommunication, and nearby the University of Twente is the Telematics Institute in Enschede.
