Abstract
Higher Vocational Education institutes are evolving from practical schools towards centers of expertise having a societal role for both teaching and research. At the Engineering Physics program of the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Eindhoven, our research and teaching programs are integrated in a research theme with the name “Detection and Measurement”. In this theme, the staff invites companies to frame their physics problems as student projects. As a result, students meet real-life practical physics problems in their curriculum, and can learn to solve them under the supervision of the staff. The projects are an extra dimension of education besides the practicals, theory courses, pre-defined regular projects and internships
