A peek into the real world: company visit for Electronics students\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, Feb. 6, two buses left from the Zerniketerrein in the direction of various ICD companies. On board were about 80 first-year electrical engineering\/electronics and mechatronics students, with the goal of career orientation. What can you do in practice after this study? That was the central question during this inspiring day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Motivation and outlook for first-year students\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The first year of a college degree can be tough. Therefore, it helps tremendously to get a picture of future possibilities within the field. Enthusiasm and practical experience work to motivate and guide the choice of study. To make the day as relevant as possible, the students followed two different routes: one for electrical engineering\/electronics and one for mechatronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Route 1: Electronics and power electronics<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The first bus took the electrical engineering and electronics students to\u00a0Variass<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>in Veendam and\u00a0Whisper Power<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Drachten. Variass is a leading company in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBAs). Here the students were given an insight into the production process and heard from specialists how electronics play a crucial role in innovative systems. In addition, speakers from Spark Holland<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0resato<\/a> Hydrogen<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0engaging presentations on the application of electronics within their companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019The afternoon focused on power electronics, an expertise of Whisper Power. Here, students followed an extensive factory tour and lectures by experts from\u00a0Philips<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Perkin Elmer<\/a><\/strong>, where power electronics also play an important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route 2: Mechatronics and industrial automation.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The second bus targeted students interested in mechatronics and began at\u00a0Astron<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Dwingeloo, known for its radio telescopes. The students were given a tour of the workshops and learned how (opto-)mechatronic systems and measuring instruments function under cryogenic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the route went to\u00a0Batenburg <\/a>Beenen<\/a><\/strong> in Heerenveen, where industrial automation was the focus. This company develops high-tech solutions for various sectors, including robotization and vision technology. The students were given an inspiring factory tour and concluded the day with a lecture by\u00a0BD<\/a><\/strong>, specializing in advanced instruments for bacteria detection, where vision and motion are essential technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to these company visits, students gained not only valuable practical experience, but also a clearer picture of their future career prospects. The combination of tours, lectures and interaction with professionals made this day a great success and an important step in the career orientation of the first-year students.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
