TU/e trains the engineer of the future. Tomorrow’s engineer is aware of the challenges awaiting us in the area of sustainability. That is why TU/e strives to make this theme part of every Bachelor’s degree program, among others in the User, Society, Enterprise (USE) section of the first and second years of every Bachelor. The Bachelor College leaves you lots of freedom to select subjects that you really find interesting, which means that you can make a choice from several subjects in the field of sustainability. In the second year you decide on a USE package. Here too there is a wide choice of sustainability themes, such as The Future of Mobility, Quality of Life, The Secret Life of Light, or Design for a Sustainable Future.
