The TU/e is offering students the concept of Challenge Based Learning. This means that, during your education, you will work on several challenges that occur in the world around us. A few examples:
Sustainable energy
Future cities
Portable ‘health’ sensors
Self-driving cars
Data models to predict group behavior
You will search for solutions for challenges within these themes, together with your fellow students and a professor. Sometimes together with students from your own major, sometimes with students from different majors. You’ll gain plenty of knowledge during lectures and webinars, but you are also encouraged to actively look for new knowledge.
The questions that you are working with are directly derived from the corporate life, society or science. The experts who are actually working on these challenges, are actively involved in our education. This helps you, even before the start of your career, to build bridges between technology and the world around you. This is a strong quality that is highly valued on the job market and in our society.
