The first semester of the programme is on basic electronic systems, and you learn to work in a problem-oriented manner in both the courses and the project work. In the courses, you work with calculus and with basic energy systems and electro physics. In the project work, you put your knowledge from the courses to work when you do your first project in conjunction with your project group. In the project, you can for example examine how a simple electronic system works such as a doorbell or a Lego robot.

Project

• Basic Electronic Systems (15 ECTS credits)

Courses

• Calculus (5 ECTS credits)
• Fundamental Energy System Physics and Topology (5 ECTS credits)
• Problem Based Learning (5 ECTS credits)

The focal point of the second semester is microprocessors. In the courses, you will be introduced to electronics, programming, and linear algebra. In the project, you work with microprocessors and become familiar with the principles of such systems and learn how to build and program a mechatronic system. For example, you can develop an electronically controlled dosing system or control a football robot.

Project

• Basic Electronic Systems (15 ECTS credits)

Courses

• Calculus (5 ECTS credits)
• Fundamental Energy System Physics and Topology (5 ECTS credits)
• Problem Based Learning (5 ECTS credits)

On the third semester of the programme, the topic is instrumentation. In the courses, you work with circuit theory, advanced programming techniques, and applied engineering mathematics. In the project work, you use the competence you gained in the courses when you examine how battery storage for a solar cell system on a building works, design clever algorithms or how a dimmer is dimensionally configured.

Project

• Instrumentation (10 ECTS credits)

Courses

• AC Circuit Theory (5 ECTS credits)
• Applied Engineering Mathematics (5 ECTS credits)
• Introduction to Electrical Engineering (5 ECTS credits)
• Data Structures and Algorithms (5 ECTS credits)

The fourth semester is about control and regulation. In the courses, you are involved with control, modelling and simulation and mechanics. During this semester, you will learn how to develop mathematical models of various systems and how to design control algorithms to control them. In the project work you can work with modelling and control of self-balancing robots, pendulums or a converter for a solar cell system.

Project

• Control Systems (15 ECTS credits)

Courses

• Fundamental Control Theory (5 ECTS credits)
• Mechanics (5 ECTS credits)
• Modelling and Simulation (5 ECTS credits)

With a Bachelor's degree in Applied Industrial Electronics, you can continue on a MSc study programme in Engineering. As an engineer, you can work in the process, automation, and energy industry where you can develop new converters and machines for wind turbines, work with energy and performance optimisation of industrial processes or with mechatronic systems such as robots or wave energy systems.

The Bachelor's programme in Applied Industrial Electronics is especially suited for you if you wish to continue studying on a two-year Master's programme in engineering (MSc). As an electronics engineer, you can work within the process, automation and energy industry, where you can, for example, work with the development of new converters and with machines for wind turbines. You can also work with energy and efficiency optimisation of industrial processes or with mechatronic systems for e.g. robots or wave energy systems.

During your studies you will work closely with companies for your project work. The projects are based on the industry's current issues and are organised so that you and your project group are constantly challenged to think in innovative, creative and systematic ways in order to find new solutions.

With a bachelor's degree in Applied Industrial Electronics  and maybe a master's degree you can work at e.g.: 

Vestas
Danfoss
Grundfos
ABB
Siemens
KK Wind Solutions
Orsted.

As an engineer in Applied Industrial Electronics you can handle complex and development-oriented situations in the electronics and power electronics area, and you possess competencies on microprocessor systems, electrical machines and robotic systems that can be used in development, planning and operation of industrial energy systems.

With an MSc in Engineering you can, for example, work in

• The process industry
• The wind turbine industry
• Energy companies
• Manufacturing companies for electronics and electrical machines
• The offshore industry
