'What keeps this field interesting for me personally is the speed of developments. If you look at what has happened in the last 30 years, the growth of knowledge and innovation is exponential. The questions that occur in all work environments where our students end up are in constant transition.'

Dr. Karst Koymans

'I always felt the field of System and Network Engineering lacked people with academic skills. For a long time this type of work was considered as something you could perfectly well perform with a practical educational background. I disagree with that completely.'

Dr. Marcel Worring

'Cybercrime is growing bigger by the day. In a society with this much data flow, the need for tools to analyze and act upon these developments is becoming more urgent.'

Drs. Eelco Schatborn

'We create a lot of involvement with the SNE lab, a space that is strictly for our students and is equipped with all the necessary materials. Because of the lab-setting the collaborative effort of students is stronger and faster. It's also quite good for the group dynamic.'
