What students say
Mohammad (Iran)
Integrated Engineering (BSc programme)
Integrated Engineering is a very innovative study programme that combines different but highly essential fields of modern engineering: ICT, plus mechanical and electrical engineering. I believe that a successful engineer crucially needs to have knowledge in these fields and are also the essence of creativity and innovation. This is what I got to know and eventually practice at TalTech.
Andrea (Moldova)
Integrated Engineering (BSc programme)
Integrated Engineering is a study programme for people who don't limit themselves to one field. You learn mechanics, electronics, programming, robotics — and then you learn how they all work together. Best part is that you actually have the chance to build and simulate real systems with the multitude of laboratory works provided by the courses. Its not only about learning theory, but seeing it in a real life.
