Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Leuven) | Bachelor's degree | Engineering & Technology | On Campus | 3 years | Ku Leuven | Belgium
Graduates in Engineering Technology need to be all-rounders who are multi-deployable. Therefore, a polyvalent and generic engineering training is crucial. The renewed programme offers a solid engineering basis which you can always fall back on.
The programme offers a broad introduction to mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. In addition, you will immerse yourself in typical engineering disciplines such as computer science, graphic techniques and project skills. You will learn to think and act critically. You will also develop skills in the field of management, communication and teamwork.
The bachelor’s programme is based on four pillars, which run like a thread throughout the entire programme:
Engineers and Science– For engineers, technology and science are inseparable. Gaining scientific knowledge and skills is not a goal in itself, but it is a means when bringing technology into practice.
Engineers and Technology– Your technological training starts from day one. You will get to know different technological domains from a versatile, multi-disciplinary point of view. This enables you to make a well-considered choice for a specialisation in the 2nd bachelor.
Engineers and the World– Engineers do not only work with science and technology, they also work with people. It is important to develop into an engineer who functions smoothly in a diverse and complex society.
Engineering Experiences– An engineering experience challenges you to act and think like a real engineer, by working as a team and bringing together all your knowledge, skills and points of view.
The emphasis on these pillars shifts as you complete the bachelor’s programme. In the first stage, the focus mainly lies on the basic sciences in Engineering and Science. From the second stage, you will choose a specialisation and focus more on a domain-specific technology from your specialisation. Finally, in the third stage, you will choose an option within your specialisation where you can further explo
