Program Overview

Intelligent Lighting Design (MSc)

Certificate Program Overview

The Certificate program in Intelligent Lighting Design is designed to prepare future engineers and designers with the knowledge and skills to balance sustainability and user demands, optimizing both. Light and lighting are essential elements for developing a sustainable living environment that supports the health, well-being, safety, and performance of its inhabitants and is preferably aesthetically pleasing.

Program Components

• The program is 20 ECTS, with students required to complete an additional 5 ECTS on top of their regular curriculum to receive the TU/e Master Certificate.
• The program consists of one mandatory course, one defined elective, and a multidisciplinary design and engineering challenge.

Program Details

The presence of sunlight forms the basis of life on earth, while the invention of artificial light shaped our current habitational ecological system. Due to the digitization of lighting and its embedding in the rapidly growing fields of IoT, intelligent lighting is becoming an important element for its potential to impact energy saving (smart buildings), safety (smart cities), and the user (health and well-being).

Curriculum Structure

• Mandatory Course: Details of the mandatory course are not specified but are crucial for understanding the foundational elements of intelligent lighting design.
• Defined Elective: The program includes a defined elective course, which allows students to delve deeper into specific areas of interest within intelligent lighting design.
• Multidisciplinary Design and Engineering Challenge: This component is designed to apply theoretical knowledge in practical, real-world scenarios, fostering collaboration and innovation among students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds.

Career Prospects and Further Information

Graduates of the Intelligent Lighting Design program are equipped to work in various fields, including but not limited to, smart building design, urban planning, and lighting technology development.
