Foreword Chairman
THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A BRIGHT FUTURE Wervingsdagen organises three events throughout the academic year. These events are meant to be a comfortable path towards a professional career. The Skill Sessions provided a chance to prepare yourself for your job interview, and to improve your general softskills altogether. After this, the Career Expo was there to help you determine which employer or sector is the perfect match for you. By now, we present you our final event this year, the final step towards a bright future, the Interviewing Days.
In March you had a first opportunity to contact companies of your interest, and the Interviewing Days offer the chance to further explore these companies. Students can upload their resume, and employers might invite you to for a lunch or dinner. Another option is a more in-depth one-on-one conversation with recruiters. We thoroughly recommend this event for students in the final stages of their studies, as this event is perfectly suitable for obtaining your first job or narrowing down a selection of future employers. To ensure you find your way in all the opportunities waiting for you, we have composed this guide for you. Its contents are detailed descriptions of all companies attending the Interviewing Days. Most of these companies have been present on the Career Expo as well, but there are some new employers available as well. Browse through this guide and find out which employer you would like to converse with. Do not hesitate to subscribe for any of the events at wervingsdagen.nl, since this is a perfect first step towards a great future after your education.

Interviewing Days guide | april 30 - may 3, 2018
Foreword Rector Magnificus
LIGHT UP YOUR FUTURE
The interview. After all those years of studying, testing, doing internships and writing your thesis, it all boils down to this. Will you kick-start your career, transition from a promising student to an achieving professional? Are you able to present yourself in a clear and honest way, with all your knowledge and experience, your character and your ambitions? And will you obtain enough insights into the position and organization you’re applying for, it’s culture and your career prospects? And most importantly, will you succeed in establishing a ‘click’ with the person at the other side of the table? Having an interview is so much more than just a chat. You have to be well prepared, to know your own strengths and weaknesses, to have prior knowledge about the organization and its policies, and to assess beforehand whether there is a match to be made. And with all these things in your head, it is your challenge to ‘let go’ during the interview, and to connect with your counterpart as two real human beings. The key to this is to be curious, to be informative, to wonder. Because it is by asking the right questions, you will at the same time get the most valuable insights, and show where your real interests and values lie. It is the power of questioning, of examining what is, and improving the existing conditions, that defines you as a Master of Science in engineering. Because, in the end, employers will not hire you for what you already know, but for your potential to learn and grow within their organizations. If you’re able to demonstrate that potential to the person you’re having the interview with, you’re on the right track. Because a successful interview is not just about lighting up your own future, but even more enlightening the future of your counterpart. Good luck, and have fun!
Prof.Dr.Ir. Frank Baaijens Rector Magnificus Eindhoven University of Technology

Interviewing Days 2018
ACTIVITIES
The Interviewing Days are the perfect opportunity to meet potential employers, discuss your career opportunities, and learn more about companies of interest to you. From April 30th until May 3rd you will have to opportunity to personally get in touch with one or more companies of your choice. The topic of discussion is entirely up to you, as long as it is career related. In order to create a suitable atmosphere, the event will be hosted at the Pullman hotel in the Eindhoven city centre.
Interviews
An Interview is a personal conversation between you and one or two company recruiters. An interview will take between 30 and 60 minutes, as chosen by the company. The interview could serve as a way to get to know the company better, but it can also be a more serious application as part of a selection procedure. This is up to you and the company to decide. Lunch or Dinner Subscribing to a lunch or dinner will give you the opportunity to get to know a company and its culture in a more informal way. Together with 7 other students you will have lunch or dinner with two recruiters of the company of your choice. During these meals you can discuss any topic with the company recruiters.
Company Cases
The Company Cases are a new way of getting to know a company: by actually solving a problem the company throws at you! Every case will take 3 hours and will only be held once. By participating in a Case you will get a very hands-on look into what working at the company is like, and what knowledge from your studies you can apply. All available cases are detailed in the next pages of this guide!
Subscription and selection Subscribe to the Interviewing Days through our website: wervingsdagen.nl. In order to subscribe, you have to upload your personal profile and curriculum vitae (CV). To ensure an objective selection process only anonymous CV’s are allowed during selection. The company will check your CV and decide to invite you for a Lunch, Dinner, Interview or Case.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AND MEDICAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY BE Biomedical Engineering focusses on problems in modern healthcare. Diagnostics, disease treatment and prevention ask for a constant renewal of technology in healthcare. Biomedical Engineering is the answer to this, because students are educated to use interdisciplinary knowledge applied to human healthcare problems. Biomedical problems are often complicated and require knowledge of fields like mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, applied physics, mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering. All these fields come into play in the three research groups; Biomechanics & Tissue Engineering, Molecular Bioengineering & Molecular Imaging and Biomedical Imaging & Modeling. The Biomedical engineer uses available data from all different sources and translates it into solutions which can be used by a doctor. The broad field of knowledge of a Biomedical engineer makes him usefull both in and out of the medical world, where he can function as a bridge between different disciplines or as specialist in his specialization.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND CHEMISTRY
CE
As a Chemical Engineer, you are able to provide technical solutions to problems and issues related to the process and product technology. In addition, the great analytical skills provide career opportunities within a wide range of sectors such as consultancy. Within the Chemical Engineering department different divisions can be distinguished. A part of the students work on the design, maintenance, improving and troubleshooting of large industrial processes. Other students work on the innovation in the field of materials science, polymers in order to design smart materials. Finally, there is a group of students working on synthesis and design of new compounds, such as catalysts and organic solar cells. The Chemical Engineering study provides specialists with a broad base, which can be used in a variety of industries.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
ID
Industrial Design focuses on interactive systems, products and related services that change, intensify or make life more comfortable. This field is all about innovation, creativity, technology, user needs, aesthetics, societal and business interests. New technologies and issues arising from societal trends are translated into innovations for everyday life. Students work, for example, on applications that can personalize cars, or on intelligent clothing that stimulates people to live a more active lifestyle.
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
IE
At the major Industrial Engineering the students get subjects on the field of Mathematics, Engineering and Integration (a combination of technical and Business subjects). On average, students spend half of their time on Engineering courses and the other half of their time on Mathematics and Integration courses. The master degree programs of Industrial Engineering are Operations Managements and Logistics (OML) and Innovation Management (IM). Operations form the base of every organization, whether in manufacturing, service or non-profit industries. Operations Management and Logistics is a multidisciplinary field that addresses the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations of an organization. OML comprises disciplines such as product development, quality management, logistics, information systems, and human resource management. Operations extend from the performance management of a group of design engineers or building in quality-feedback loops to the precise prediction of production and delivery performance. Supply chain management and the design of information architectures for e-business are also part of operations management. The Innovation Management discipline studies the management of innovation processes and contains quantitative and qualitative theories, tools and techniques to make businesses and entrepreneurs more innovative as well as more successful in their innovation activities. Key aspects of the Innovation Management discipline are new product development, strategic marketing, sales and after-sales service management, business intelligence, open innovation, and entrepreneurship. The object of the studies is the new product and business development process. This includes the processes to cooperate with a diverse set of stakeholders and share knowledge with them.

Interviewing Days guide | april 30 - may 3, 2018
APPLIED PHYSICS
AP
Applied physicists have a different view on the world around us. Physical phenomena turn into challenges, fascinating questions to investigate and analyze. But as an applied physicist you go one step further, by applying your knowledge of these phenomena in new technological developments. In many cases these are ambitious projects, in which working in teams with people from other disciplines is a central factor. The Master degree program in Applied Physics gives you the opportunity to get involved in physical phenomena, new technologies and measurement methods. These are based on technical applications of physical principles in the most diverse disciplines.The practical experience you gained during your master program is a definite plus when applying for a job as a researcher or anything else.
PSYCHOLOGY & TECHNOLOGY
PT
Students in the bachelor Psychology & Technology learn how technology influences people and how to use their knowledge of psychology to make technology function optimally for its users. Graduates know how people think, act, feel, observe and take decisions, this knowledge enables them to understand what technology does to people who interact with it. This knowledge of people and technology enables them to create new technological products, examples are motivating rehabilitation technology, social robots, or brain-computer interfaces.
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION
SI
Students in the Sustainable Innovation major have the ambition to create a more sustainable future. They have in depth knowledge of sustainable technologies but also study the economic and societal factors that are important to make these innovations a success. They are able to analyze what is needed for consumers and firms to adopt these technologies and how policymakers can speed up the transition to a sustainable society. Furthermore, they place recent developments and discussions about sustainability in a long-term perspective, to see how national and global developments are related.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS
AM
Mathematics is all about learning to see things in an analytical way; to think critically and solve problems by being solution-oriented. This way, any problem can be made abstract, which makes nearly all obstacles in real life solvable in the abstract world of Mathematics. The study is made up of three main fields of study. The first is analytical mathematics, which has a lot in common with Physics. The second is stochastics, which is the field of statistics and probability theory, such as analyzing big data and waiting times. The third main field focuses on security and optimization, such as RSA and traffic light optimization. This way, a Mathematician is able to think analytically and is an all-rounder for numerous different companies. During the study, the students are trained to work together and think creatively. This way, Mathematicians can think `outside the box’, and as such, can come to the most optimal conclusion
COMPUTER SCIENCE
CS
The study of Computer Science provides a strong mathematical base. The mathematics used is called logics, which is a discrete form of Mathematics seen in all kinds of areas within Computer Science. Because of this strong base, any Computer Science student has a broad field of knowledge. Among others, the following subjects come about during the study: - Theory and algorithmics, where students learn how to solve different mathematical problems the best way possible. - Software development, where students learn to create and document software programs from scratch. - System architecture, networks and information systems, where students look at the safety of networks and the optimization of systems and processes, as well as the saving of data. - Web technology, where the psychological side of technology is viewed, such as the attractiveness and the user friendliness of products. - Data Science, in which different techniques are used in the field of data analysis, data mining and machine learning. Outside of these subjects, students also learn professional skills and how to work in a team. These things are learned by the many group projects in the study.All of this enables a student to cross the gap between the user and the endless number of applications of a computer. This gap is crossed by the critical way of thinking, specialized in the form of logical reasoning, and the structured approach to the most complex problems.

Interviewing Days guide | april 30 - may 3, 2018
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
ME
Mechanical engineering combines subjects from mathematics, physics and chemistry. Aspects taught during the program include heat and flow, mechanics and dynamics, the control of machines and systems, and properties of materials. But as an aspiring mechanical engineer you need to have more than technical knowledge alone. Later you’ll often be at the center of a project team of specialists from different disciplines. That’s why a lot of attention is given to the social and communication aspects of your development. As well as creativity and innovative abilities, mechanical engineers are also expected to be able to work well in teams.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
EE
An Electrical Engineer works with electricity and electromagnetic fields and their applications in telecommunication and control systems. Because of this an Electrical Engineer possesses a lot of knowledge about mathematics, physics and computer systems. Electrical Engineering focuses on three societal themes: ‘The Connected World’, ‘Care and Cure’ and ‘Smart and Sustainable Society’. Every Master program of Electrical Engineering connects to one of these three themes, which means that a graduate student possesses a lot of knowledge of at least one of the three named societal themes.
AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY
AU
The program Automotive Technology is a unique study of automotive engineering on a university level. During this study students get to face the technological challenges in a societal perspective. Modern cars are intelligent systems which require a lot of knowledge of various disciplines. These disciplines (Electrical Engineering, software engineering and mechanical engineering) will be learned by a student of Automotive Technology. He uses this knowledge in projects like smart mobility and clean vehicles.

DATA SCIENCE
DS
Data Science is a new engineering discipline and the main driver for innovation in the years to come. Just like computer science emerged as a new discipline from mathematics when computers became available, we now see data science as a new discipline driven by the torrents of data available today. The data scientist will be the engineer of the future and scientiďŹ c research and innovations will be data driven. Data is collected about anything at any time, at any place. The ultimate goal is not to collect more data but to turn it into real value. Data can answer questions that have never been asked before. Visualization of data can really help discovering remarkable patterns that were never noticed before. Besides the technical side, you will also focus on societal issues, such as legal, social, ethical, business, and entrepreneurial issues which relate to Data Science.Data Science is a joint bachelor of Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology.

PEOPLEHOUSE
Required knowledge: Microsoft Office and an innovative & entrepreneurial mindset. Supplies: Laptop
MAKE MEANING! This is the Peoplehouse DNA. Peoplehouse firmly believes in the enthusiasm, the innovative view and the creativity of entrepreneurial talents. Tell me more, what’s the company case? Labelmeester is a company set up by two Young Entrepreneurs, and aims to unburden estate owners in making their properties more energy efficient. As of 1 January 2023 it is compulsory for office buildings to have an EPC (energy label) of minimum C. Labelmeester offers full service packages to office occupiers and landlords in order to make their property more sustainable and comply with legislation. What are we going to do? During the workshop you will think about the design and the expansion of this startup. Together we will set up a new business case, based on the Peoplehouse way of working (Design Thinking & Lean Startup). In the discovery phase (phase 1) we will look at the environment in which the company operates. What does the market look like? Who are the competitors? And what are the most important (tech-) trends? Additionally we will identify the customer (segments) and their needs, using customer empathy. This will lead to the development of the first concepts. In phase 2 we will start to experiment using the build-measure-learn feedback loop. The concepts and assumptions from the discovery phase will be validated. The first step is to find out what the customer needs (what is the problem?). Then a minimum viable product (MVP) should be developed to begin the process of learning as quickly as possible. From there a perfect ‘customer-problem/ problem-solution/ solutionmarket’ fit is created between the introduction of a new idea and the connection in the market. Ultimately, you want to be able to scale up your business case (phase 3). We do this based on the Rockerfeller habits (including HR, strategy, execution, and cash), so that you can maintain the growth of your business in an orderly manner. Priorities, information and rhythm are important in this phase.

SHINTŌ LABS
Required knowledge / supplies: None
FINDING COMPANIES WITH ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES USING DATA SCIENCE The challenge A local governmental environmental law enforcement wanted to find unknown companies that are performing activities that need to be monitored or illegal. The challenge they gave us was this: help us find these hidden companies so that we can start monitoring them and make the city a safer place. The approach We applied principles of design thinking and data science to solve these types of problems. In our Design Sprint, we design and develop a working prototype using real data in 5 days. With a small group of experts, we extracted their expertise and used it for machine learning to optimize our algorithms to estimate the probability per company of their environmental risk. On day 5 we validated the prototype with real end users to make sure that we have both a quantitative data validation and end user qualitative feedback. The solution We combined several internal and external data sources to find potential high-risk companies using the estimated risk distribution based on known monitored companies. Once we have prepared, enriched and normalized the data, we predict the risk using a Bayesian Network approach. The feedback on these predictions, provided by the experts, is used in a machine learning process to optimize the risk assessment. Once we have identified potential companies, inspectors will go to the location to do an onsite assessment. Their feedback is used in our optimization as well. Used technologies in this solution: R, tidyverse, purrrlyr, Shiny, ggplot2, Leaflet and Hydenet. The results The governmental organization found several relevant companies on the first day! and as of today they have planned inspections at 78 companies, labeled over 700 companies as irrelevant and could focus on the most important and high-risk companies. We expanded the solution with an additional component for finding distribution points that might involve illegal and/or criminal activities.

SIOUX
Required knowledge / supplies: None
SIOUX CCM DIGITAL PATHOLOGY SCANNER In the traditional way the pathologist analyses the biopsy with his microscope and creates a report. But pathologists must seek more efficient means to support targeted, patient-specific therapy and accurate, first time right decision-making. To aid the pathologists our customer wanted to develop an Ultra Fast Scanner (UFS) system for the migration from optical to digital pathology. With this system images of the biopsy are created which equal 40x magnification. Those images are instantly available for analysis and can be shared with pathologists worldwide. Computer Aided Diagnoses (CAD) becomes possible and images can be added to patient databases just like e.g. radiology or MR images. With Digital Pathology it is no longer necessary to store loads of glass slides in controlled environments and organize the logistics involved in sending around these slides for e.g. second opinions. The case After an introduction of the system the case will be presented. It will focus on the slide store and slide handling system. Keywords are: reliability, accuracy, user friendly and floor space. Scanner properties; Key characteristics of the UFS: • Automatic (= unattended) processing of batches of up to 300 slides • Automatic self-calibration • Automatic recognition of tissue regions (ROI) Some impressive numbers • Pixel size is 0.25 μm (RGB channels); equivalent to 40x optical • Max image size 25x60 mm2; 72 GByte • Typical image 10-15 GByte in 1 minute: Average data rate > 200 MByte/s, Peak data rate: 432 MByte/s Technical challenges • Image quality; Resolution and contrast, color fidelity • Stage motion accuracy; Not resulting in image stitching artefacts • Image processing; Image compression algorithm • Auto-Focus module; Low contrast, irregular shapes, fast response • Automatic tissue region recognition; Small ROI’s, no tissue ‘misses’ • Slide handling; Using standard, commercial slide racks, slide diversity Learn more about Sioux

We do our job shoulder to shoulder with allies within the Netherlands and abroad. We help each other. Together, we carry out missions professionally, united by the same mission.

And because we want to make these events a success next year, we are looking for you! If you want to know more about what it is like to be part of this Committee, do not hesitate to contact a current Committee member! Below there’s a short overview and a description of the different functions in the Wervingsdagen Committee:
Chairman As the chairman you keep track of the proceedings of the Committee. You schedule the tasks throughout the year and this way you ensure everyone knows what has to be done. The chairman maintains contact with organisations in- and outside of the TU/e as well. Secretary The secretary is the contact for many organisations in- and outside of the TU/e and towards the students. This means there is a lot of communication involved in being a secretary. Treasurer Wervingsdagen is an organisation with a sizable budget. These finances must find a proper expense, and this means an adept treasurer is essential for Wervingsdagen. External Affairs The contact towards companies and enterprises is largely handled by the people of External Affairs. They are the ones that enlist the companies and maintain all contacts with recruiters. As external affairs you get in touch with lots of companies in a short period of time. Event Coordinator When you organize events, the day itself should be accounted for up until the smallest detail. It are the two event coordinators that figure out these details and ensure the events run flawlessly. Public Relations In order get as many students as possible to visit the events, one needs a massive advertising campaign. Public Relations provides for this publicity and puts Wervingsdagen in the spotlights around the TU/e.
