Are you an ambitious
Engineering, ICT, or
Applied Sciences student who
aspires to a broader career?
Are you an ambitious engineering, ICT, or Applied Sciences student who aspires to a broader career? Do you dare to look beyond the obvious? Do you want to go beyond discipline, striving to become the linking pin between them? The 2-year Master of Science (MSc) Digital Technology Engineering supports you in becoming a self-directed professional engineer of the future.
In our rapidly changing world, digital transformation, ethical AI, smart society, and smart industry are becoming increasingly important and influential. The MSc Digital Technology Engineering challenges students to tackle all wicked problems and challenging issues surrounding these subjects.
Digital Technology Engineering helps you become a professional that oversees the whole process, from product development and integration to business development and organisational procedures.
During the Master, you develop deep knowledge and skills in:
• Digital Technologies
• Systems Engineering
• Practice-Based Research
• Design-Based Working
Ready to take a leading role in
digital technologies?
In the stimulating setting of Pulsed, you learn from the best and take matters into your own hands. Experience and tackle real-life challenges co-created by committed representatives of international companies, research centres, and educational institutions. Constantly cross disciplines. Shift your focus from technical fields such as statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to subjects such as business, product design, and practice-based research, and back again. Put your gained hard and soft skills into practice while moving through all the different stages that lead from problem to product.
As a digital technology engineer eager to shape the future, you must be in the know of societal and global changes. This responsibility takes a specific personal and professional attitude. That’s why during the Master’s, you not only learn from the best; you also get coached by the best. From start to finish, a dedicated coach guides you in a process that helps you develop that essential attitude, making good use of your unique talents and characteristics.
With your Master's Degree in the pocket, you can start your professional career. Now you are a self-directed engineer, that oversees the whole process. So there is a wide variation of positions you can apply for. Due to practical approach of the study, you are an already experienced and thus valuable professional for companies when graduating. This will kick-off your career with a blast.
During the study, you will explore the different jobs and most importantly: what you love doing most. To give you an idea, we selected an overview with the most common roles:
"Working with three companies had its challenges, but each one added value to our project. Stactics advised us on programming, Whysor company provided us with sensors and dashboard tools, and CAF connected us with farmers. Managing them was tricky, but it allowed us to use each company’s strengths."
“The main difficulty in our project was the sheer amount of stakeholders from different engineering disciplines. In order to overcome this stakeholder overload, we applied different focus group sessions, which really helped us to establish consensus.”
"The project involved creating a digital dashboard in collaboration with a production facility in Poland, investigating ERP systems, internal processes, and cloud solutions. The concept of Industry 5.0 was integrated as a vision for future manufacturing at Signify. "
"The project resulted in a servitization model and a digital strategy for the SortiPack. After graduation, he joined Crux Agribotics as an R&D specialist, focusing on data analytics and further developing the research outcomes into a market-ready product. I advised choosing projects that address real company needs, not just internship tasks."
"I researched how the organization could transition from Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to Hyperautomation, focusing on managing the strategic shift and integrating intelligent technology. The outcome was a Low-Code application that allowed Ciphix's consultancy branch to extract and store client information during consultancy sessions."
"My design question was: "How can LLMs be sustainably implemented to empower people with low literacy?" led to an iterative, build-measure-learn process (RunningLean). This approach included a thorough exploration of social and technical aspects before designing and testing LLM-based solutions, particularly for the Werkplaats Financiën context."
