The discipline is based on the application of existing technology within a field of engineering through the use of basic engineering principles and technical skills. As such, undergraduate and graduate programmes in the field focus primarily on the applied aspects of science and engineering to equip graduates with practical technical skills in product improvement, manufacturing, construction or engineering operational functions.
Studying engineering equips students with practical skills to acquire and apply scientific, mathematical, economic, social and practical knowledge to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely serve as a solution to the needs of society. Combined with knowledge and processes related to technology, programmes in engineering and technology field provide students tools and skills to manipulate materials so to shape and change the physical world to meet needs. Through hands-on training, students are encouraged to come up with creative applications of scientific principles.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers sound and sophisticated education in product planning, prototype development and study, and actual production. Research and development are integral to all Mechanical Engineering studies.
The SKEMA Bachelors programmes in aeronautics meet the demands of a highly competitive field of activity where careers as pilots are highly sought after.
This course covers the production of working digital games in both teams and individually.
The programme offers a choice of either E-Commerce or E-Design and students will obtain a wide knowledge of digital communication. Furthermore students will learn about service design, leisure economy, storytelling, user-friendliness, digital design development, project management and inter-cultural relations.

As a matter of fact you work together with students from all over the world. In our project based learning system you will study four years fully taught in English.
In the Netherlands the Buildings, Environmental and Spatial disciplines have good tradition and have resulted in important developments in Environmental Policies and Spatial Planning. Saxion is an University of Applied Science and one of the leading institutes in this field in the Netherlands and is recognised for its expertise in these disciplines of study.
The approach of Environmental Engineering programme is multidiscipline. First, it educates engineers for designing, operating and managing sustainable and safe processes. Secondly, it provides skills to choose different types of advanced energy production technologies, to either replace or complete the fossil-based energy systems.
Graduates are employed in heat or gas supply, heating, ventilation and air conditioning design, maintenance and production companies; or continue education for Master's degree.
