Training

Although technical discoveries, skills and achievements have accompanied the human species ever since homo sapiens, the world today needs engineers and scientists who are aware of the challenges in human and societal terms when new technologies are developed. In just the last two decades, the way we live, work and even think has changed radically. Managers must control and accompany developments, while retraining their curiosity, their inventiveness and creativity, all of which are essential for innovative solutions, products and services to benefit all. Students who join the UTC-Hutech stream will develop the capacity to combine different logics, for applications in industry and entrepreneurship ventures.
