Hanze University Case Study
Driving Your Own Future as a Female Engineer
How Tektronix provided Hanze University with the tools they needed to help students like Rianne Drijver build an electric formula student race car and broaden their engineering education.
The Customer Challenge
Rianne Drijver is one
of several up-andcoming female engineers
studying sensor
technology at the Hanze
University of Applied
Sciences in Groningen,
Netherlands. Her passion
and hard work allowed her to join the university’s
honours programme, which gives her opportunities
to dive deeper into electrical engineering and
broaden both her knowledge and experience.
To help students like Rianne reach their potential as
engineers, Hanze University has made an effort to
supplement classroom and lecture experiences with a
variety of hands-on projects. The Hanze Racing Division
is a perfect example. Their goal is for students to build
an electric formula student race car to compete in
races with other universities. Since building a race car
requires a variety of engineering skills and applications,
the project brings together students from many different
disciplines to collaborate on a large-scale goal.
The challenge is that this project requires reliable test and measurement tools so students can validate and troubleshoot their designs. Hanze University needed affordable, reliable, and cutting-edge equipment to make the hands-on project possible.
The Solution
Tektronix provided Hanze University with a TBS2000B oscilloscope, a 2230G and 2260B DC Power Supply, which are designed to combine precise, reliable performance with intuitive and accessible user interfaces. Students like Rianne learn to use the TBS2000B quickly and easily so they can spend less time with the testing learning curve and more time making progress on their project.
By collaborating with students from different engineering backgrounds and using the same kind of equipment she’ll use after graduating, Rianne has gained invaluable experience that sets her up for success. Tektronix is proud to play a part in equipping engineers who are blazing new trails both in culture and technology
Rianne Drijver, Sensor Technology Student at Hanze University of Applied SciencesI just really like what I am doing with my life and as long as I like what I am doing I am motivated.
