Powertrain

Here, you learn to analyze the load process. Design creatively. Use construction principles. Mechatronics. Systems and control engineering. All the info and study you need to build and design a sturdy powertrain. And more!


The program in a nutshell

This is a mostly at-home study program. Offered once a year in a block – September to January. You go to class about two times per week. The total study load is 800 hours: around 300 hours in lessons. And 500 hours for project work and independent study. A final project is due at the end of the program.

You form a small design team with some of your classmates. Your team is commissioned by an external client to (re)design the powertrain of a machine or vehicle. You consult with the client throughout the design project. And put your new knowledge and the expertise of the lecturers to good use.

Students as partners
 

Dutch way of learning

The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at HAN you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions and give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative and to discover things for yourself.

What about credits and grading?

At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard credit system used in higher education across Europe. How does it work? One credit = 28 hours of study. Think of contact hours. Time spent working on assignments. Preparing for exams.

One semester = 30 credits = 840 hours of study. To earn credits, you need to pass your exams. What counts as a pass? A grade of at least 5.5.
