42ERA9100 Research Project
The student learns to work on an assignment in a project-based way in order to structure the assignment.
The student prepares a technical project for which he comes up with a theoretical solution for a set technical problem. This solution is documented.
The student learns how to communicate clearly with clients and to draw up arrangements on paper.
The student learns to build a proof-of-concept in a research-based way in order to answer the the client’s demand.
During all stages, the student is coached in project management using scrum (lectures).
A client/product owner (company and/or lecturer) will be available for each project. This client/product owner functions as the requesting party.

42EAI1050 System on Chip
Practical Course
- Implementing existing IP blocks
- Creation and integration of self-developed IP blocks
- Hardware implementation of SoC systems in a FPGA
- Programming (software devployment) of applications on a developed SoC.
43EAI1110 Final Project
Students do a bachelor project in the field of “Electronics and Computer Science”. Incoming students are usually enrolled in a research project of our own research group.
An important objective is that a student learns to work individually to solve a problem. The student has to analyse the problem, search for different solutions and work out a plan. The student needs to gather knowledge of various domains, use this knowledge in the practical work and put it all together in a written report/paper in which the entire project is described. In this engineering project, practical work is always combined with a theoretical background on the subject.
