Mechatronic engineers

Mechatronics is hot in the Netherlands. Therefore, Dutch universities of applied sciences (Dutch abbreviation, HBO) intensify their efforts to deliver more and better mechatronic engineers. Avans Hogeschool in Breda was in 2009 the second HBOinstitution in the Netherlands – after Fontys in Eindhoven – to appoint a lector in mechatronics.
