Doing it the Dutch way (1) • Registration is mandatory • Grades 1-10, 6 is pass, 10 is max, no ½ • Some students DO fail subjects • This is COMMON and NORMAL • Second attempts are possible / SET / W&I
Doing it the Dutch way (2) • We are looking for • Independent critical thinking • Autonomy: • If you do not take initiative yourself, TU/e will not be able to help you • Beware of plagiarism / SET / W&I
Doing it the Dutch way (3) Study advisor: Peter Veltkamp J.P.Veltkamp@tue.nl Personal and study-related issues and problems • Questions? • Ask your fellow students • Ask the lecturer (content) • Ask the study advisor (personal and study issues) / SET / W&I
Goal and vision A multi-disciplinary and comprehensive view of Embedded System design From a high-level architecture Via requirements and specifications Using platforms, hardware and silicon Cost and environment-aware, of ‘engineering’ quality
Program structure (120 ects) Tripartition mandatory courses (+restricted choice) elective courses master thesis ES: 45-35-40 (1 ects =28 hours) Language: English
MSc ES Bridging Courses • Homologation ( 18 ects) • International students: mandatory if mentioned in your admission letter • Dutch CS students • Circuit analysis • Digital signal processing • Electronics for ES • Dutch EE students • Software Specification • Algorithms • Electronics for ES

Elective courses taylor your studies to your own interests prepare for specialization in thesis phase many possibilities within the 3TU cooperation any master-level course at anyuniversity in any country may be suitable, but ... approval in advance is required
Electives: 1st and 2nd year • Choice of more than 35 courses • Capita selecta: 5 ECTS • Research assignment • Upon invitation by a teacher only • 9ST14: Academic Skills in English 1: 4 ECTS • If your English needs improvement • May be homologation subjects • Non TU/e classes can be taken • Talk to the study advisor! / SET / W&I
3TU Cooperation Video lectures Other electives from 3TU 3TU presence in the graduation committee
Honors Program • Honors programme: • For students with excellent marks • Extracurricular credits • Special indication on separate leaflet by the diploma • Possible preparation for PhD.
Internship For people with a strong ES background Motivated by the graduation supervisor (15 ECTS) out there in the real world Students with more diverse background: Multi-disciplinary design project (10 ECTS)
Master project & thesis There are many possibilities to show academic maturity in the final master project: theory, practice or design at the university or in a company at home or abroad (several agreements and contacts with other universities) Find yourself a supervisor in a favourite area of expertise Finish within 6-9 months
Master thesis ES • Project in either of the two fields of expertise • Computer Science • Electrical Engineering
EIT-ICT Program on Embedded Systems EIT: A consortium of prominent European universities (Europe’s MIT) ES Program with a specialization on • Innovation • Entrepreneurship
EIT-ICT Program on Embedded Systems Mobility among universities: • First year at entry point: core ES courses + basic I&E courses • Summer and winter schools • Second year at exit point: specialization + masters thesis + I&E thesis
