A short description of the study programs MSV Incognito represents.
Knowledge Engineering (BSc)
Knowledge Engineering (KE) is the engineering discipline that is involved with the integration of knowledge into computer systems in order to solve complex problems which normally require a high level of human expertise. The study is intensely related to subjects like mathematical logic, artificial intelligence, data mining, decision support systems and cognitive sciences. The primary computer languages taught are Java, Matlab, Prolog, as well as the theoretical practices of Lisp and Scheme. In contrast to the standard PBL system at Maastricht University, Knowledge Engineering has devised an alternative learning approach, called Project Centered Learning. Project Centered Learning is based on the system of working with a team of fellow students for one semester on different phases of a single problem. Some examples of projects which have been tackled include simulation and 3d visualization of the solar system and simulation of space travel therein, traffic simulation and natural language processing. An oversight of the projects can be found on: www.kecsum.nl.
Artificial Intelligence (MSc)
Artificial Intelligence is the discipline concerned with the development and application of intelligent systems possessing abilities such as learning, reasoning and collaborating. Key research areas include machine learning, information retrieval, intelligent search techniques and multi-agent systems.

Operations Research (MSc)
Operations Research is the discipline concerned with optimization and decision making, using applied mathematical tools and models. Key research areas include signal processing, mathematical modeling and simulation, bioinformatics and evolutionary game theory.
