In the first week of October the first nine trainees of the two-year post-master’s technological designer’s programme SEB&C of the 3TU School for Technological Design, Stan Ackermans Institute, presented the progress they made with their company assignment. These trainees are the first generation of this programme, which started in January 2012. High-tech subjects like chip technology used to optimize active/reactive power flows in distribution networks in photovoltaic panels as well as a total lighting solution for hospitality were presented by the international students. In January 2014 the trainees will finish their company assignments.
The post-master’s programme Smart Energy Buildings and Cities (SEB&C) is eligible for students with a Master’s degree in Engineering Sciences. The programme responses to the need for new energy concepts on various levels: from the development of new materials and new concepts of energy transformations, to intelligent control and alignment of energy flows in the development of energy-saving buildings. The two-year programme is built on a collaboration in KIC InnoEnergy, part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
