TU Delft University Facts and Mission

Founded in 1862, Delft University of Technology is the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive university of technology in the Netherlands. With over 13.000 students and 2100 scientists (including 200 professors), it is an establishment of both national importance and signicant international standing. Renowned for its high standard of education and research, the University collaborates with other educational establishments and research institutes, both in the Netherlands and overseas. It also enjoys partnerships with governments, branch organisations, numerous consultancies, the industry, and companies from the small and medium business sectors. Delft University of Technology has eight faculties offering a host of engineering programmes, many of them unique in the Netherlands. Working together with other educational establishments, various research institutes, international business partners and the industry, TU Delft aims to provide students with all the necessary tools for a successful career: an excellent education, relevant, practical experience, and the broadest possible knowledge base. Detailed information can be obtained from the website www.tudelft.nl INTERNATIONAL OFFICE Going abroad to study is a big step. Living alone, away from your family, a different country, with a different way of learning can be quite tough sometimes. The International Ofce will be your rst point of contact at the University. The International Ofce staff handles the application procedure, nancial and housing matters, and the distribution of student ID cards. The International Ofce comprises the central TU Delft Student Registration Ofce, which registers you as a student when you are admitted to TU Delft. Should you have any problems or questions the International Ofce can provide all the help you need. Several departments can advise you on a wide range of issues such as accommodation, university enrollment, insurances, residence permits and legal questions. If you have personal problems you can make an appointment with one of the university psychologists. For students who are disabled the International Ofce is the place to get in touch with a specialised counsellor.

CiTG Internship Ofce Maaike Kraeger-Holland Room 2.73 Tel: +31 (0)15 27 81174 Open: Monday (9:00-13:00), Tuesday (13:00-17:00), Thursday (13:00-17:00) and Friday (9:00-13:00), unless announced otherwise. Emergencies before or during exams You may have a problem reaching the venue where you are due to sit an examination. You may be confronted with unexpected trafc jams, a railway power cut or something else entirely beyond your control, causing you to be late or to have to miss the exam altogether. In such cases it is always wise, if possible, to contact one of the academic counsellors directly, Karel Karsen (tel. +31 (0)15 27 83337) or Pascal de Smidt (tel. +31 (0)15 27 81068). They will then contact the lecturers responsible for the examination immediately and try to nd a suitable solution. Bear in mind that such steps can only be taken in the event of real emergencies and that a perfect solution cannot always be found. Students who arrive late for the examination because of travel delays are obliged to report immediately to the invigilator. He or she will then decide on the best plan of action. Obviously all this only applies to students who have registered in time for examinations through the usual channels and according to the usual procedures. Quality assurance Students opinions are important in determining the quality of the education. This feedback allows bottlenecks to be identied. For this reason, a quarterly course evaluation is held with the director of studies, the quality assurance employee and the student societies.

Because course evaluations are intended to improve the quality of the education, they address both positive and negative matters. When necessary, measures are taken to improve the course. All of this information is published on Blackboard. The summary of the course evaluations is compiled from information obtained from the following sources: Course evaluations with the director of studies, the quality assurance employee and any disputes Instructor reactions Sensor survey reports The student societies play an important role in these evaluations. They often contribute information that plays a fundamental role in the surveys. Graduation Before you start your graduation project, go to the Service Desk (across from PS on the rst oor) to complete the Request for Graduation Commencement form. If it is determined that you meet the requirements, the Authorisation to Take Your Degree will be ready for you after approximately one week. You should then make an appointment with your thesis coordinator to present this authorisation, discuss your examination programme and complete a graduation card. Your thesis coordinator will ensure that the graduation card is processed. The procedure is as follows: 1. Complete the Request for Graduation Commencement form at the Service Desk. 2. Take the Authorisation to Take Your Degree form to your thesis coordinator. 3. Complete your graduation card with your thesis coordinator. 4. The thesis coordinator will submit the card to the Shared Service Centre for processing and inspection.

25-07-2007 14:57:32
Later, when you are ready: 5. Register on time for the MSc examination (obtain the form from the Service Desk or download it from the Internet). 6. Should you nd that you have a time problem, do not forget to withdraw (obtain the form from the Service Desk or download it from the Internet). When embarking on the graduation programme, it is also important to observe the procedures that are specied in the Board of Examiners Rules and Regulations with regard to the following: Article 17: the graduation work Article 18: composition of the examination committee Article 19: the examination committees approach

General Information
General Information on Structural Engineering Structural mechanics, materials science and structures play a very important role in the education of civil engineers. In combination with the science of concrete, steel, wood and composite materials, structural mechanics is applied for the design, construction and maintenance of structures. These structures range from typical hydraulic engineering structures and bridges to tall buildings, roads and railways. The Structural Engineering track has eight specialisations: Structural Design, Structural Mechanics, Materials Science, Concrete Structures, Steel and Wood Structures, Structural Design, Road and Railway Engineering and Hydraulic Engineering Structures. Depending on the students interest, thesis projects may focus on functional or structural design, or on the construction or maintenance of a structure. Thesis projects may also be devoted to theoretical or experimental research. Thesis projects may involve the investigation of a subject in broad perspective, although specialised projects that focus on very specic topics are also possible. Graduates of the Structural Engineering track are employed in a wide variety of functions (e.g. structural design, construction, maintenance, research) in many organisations, including public authorities, consultancy rms, contractors and research groups. Further information: L.J.M. Houben Structural Engineering Coordinator Stevin II Room 2.27 Tel: +31 (0)15 27 84917 General Information on Building Engineering The Building Engineering track is primarily concerned with the technological and physical aspects of buildings. The appreciation of buildings depends not only on their architecture, but also on the quality of their functioning, the building

physics and building technology. This track emphasises the solution of buildingengineering problems, and this demands precise scientic knowledge. To obtain the required insight and skills to address these problems, students are expected to have substantial knowledge of the utility aspects of building, building physics, materials science, structural design, building services and nishing works. The Building Engineering track (120 ECTs) includes several established courses (24 ECTs). Students are allowed to tailor their Masters programmes by choosing courses from the pools of Building Engineering courses (16 ECTs), specialisationrelated courses (22 ECTs) and free electives (16 ECTs). The Building Engineering track concludes with a thesis project (42 ECTs). The Masters track in Building Engineering offers four specialisations: Building Physics Building Technology Structural Design Design & Construction Processes Further information: A. te Boveldt Building Engineering Coordinator Stevin II Room 1.57 E-mail: a.teboveldt@tudelft.nl General Information on Hydraulic Engineering The Hydraulic Engineering track offers two specialisations: Hydraulic Engineering & Environmental Fluid Mechanics, including Coastal Engineering (coastal morphology, coastal inlets, methods of coastal protection, design of breakwaters, dredging technology), River Engineering (ow in rivers, sediment transport, river morphology), Ports & Waterways (ports, waterways, simulation techniques of logistic aspects of ports, terminals and locks), Environmental Fluid Mechanics (free surface ows and related transport processes, turbulence, density currents, surface-waves and uid-structure interactions)

Although probabilistic design methods play an important role in the design of sea defences, they are currently implied in all elds of hydraulic engineering) Further information: Dr P.J. Visser Hydraulic Engineering Coordinator Room 3.96 Tel: +31 (0)15 27 88005 The Study Guide for Hydraulic Engineering is available on Blackboard (MSc Specialisation in Hydraulic Engineering) and from the MSc coordinator (Dr P.J. Visser, Room 3.96). General Information on Water Management Water is essential to humans and nature, but it can also present a threat. For example, rivers provide drinking water and water for irrigation, but they may also cause devastating oods. The Water Management track is concerned with understanding water ows (i.e. surface water ows and groundwater ows) as they occur naturally, and with regulating these ows for societal purposes. Water managers are concerned with practically relevant issues, including ood and drought predictions, drinking-water supply, sewage and wastewater treatment, water quality control in lakes and streams and the operational control of water in rural and urban areas. Water Management plays a dominant role in: Environment (the quantity and quality of surface water and groundwater) Urban and rural development (irrigation and drainage) Design of infrastructure for drinking-water supply, sewage and wastewater treatment, with particular emphasis on the protection of both public health and environment

The Water Management track has several specialisations: Sanitary Engineering: designing, building and operating installations and infrastructure for drinking water supply, sewage and wastewater treatment Hydrology: description and quantication of water systems in the natural hydrologic cycle, as well as the effects of humans on these natural systems Water Resources Management: designing, building and operating water management systems and accompanying management organisations Modelling, laboratory work, eldwork and pilot-plant testing play an important role in each focus area. Masters degree students are thus actively involved in the research projects of the department.

General Information on Transport & Planning The lecturers of the Department of Transport & Planning teach general and introductory courses in transport and planning within the Bachelors programme in Civil Engineering. They are also responsible for the MSc track in Transport & Planning. This track addresses such topics as the modelling of spatial developments, activities and trips in networks, the analysis of trafc ows on roads and intersections, the application of informatics and communication technology for transport and trafc management, the design and control of public transport systems and the evaluation of the effects of trafc on the economy, road users and the environment. Through elective courses, students can choose their own emphases within this eld (e.g. they may choose to focus on infrastructure planning or trafc engineering). Graduates of the MSc track in Transport & Planning have found jobs with the government (e.g. the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management; the Dutch Directorate for Public Works and Water Management; transport and spatial planning departments of provincial and municipal governments), public transport companies, research institutes and consulting rms. They hold positions as planners, designers, researchers, consultants and, after several years of experience, managers. Further information: P.B.L. Wiggenraad Transport & Planning Coordinator Room 4.05 Tel: +31 (0)15 27 84916 E-mail: p.b.l.wiggenraad@tudelft.nl Website: http://www.transport.citg.tudelft.nl General Information Geo-Engineering The soil and subsoil, on and in which people live and work, is the basis for keeping the land safe, convenient and accessible. Building structures, bridges and quays cannot function well without good foundations. Without knowledge

of soil behaviour, civil engineers would not be able to bore tunnels or design building pits well. Properly functioning roads and dikes, which are constructed with soil on soil, would also be impossible without specic knowledge of the subsoil. Furthermore, it would be impossible to intensify the use of the substratum without modern, hybrid construction techniques in which safety plays an important role. In short, without soil and subsoil, there would be no land. Because the geo-engineering is involved in all building practices, it is one of the basic elds within the discipline of civil engineering. The Geo-Engineering track has the following specialisations: Geomechanics (GM) Geotechnical Engineering (GTE) Underground Space Technology (UST) Geo-Environmental Engineering (GEE) [under construction, not available] Engineering Geology (EG) The Geo-engineering section, which coordinates the MSc track in Geoengineering, is part of the Geotechnology department, and it is involved in the Masters degree programme in Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. While students focusing on Engineering Geology obtain the MSc degree in Applied Earth Sciences, those choosing one of the other four specialisations obtain the MSc degree in Civil Engineering. The degree that a student will ultimately acquire thus depends upon a focused choice. Because the entire span of the Geo-engineering track can be classied into two elds (i.e. Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences), two MSc coordinators are appointed, one for each sub-eld. These coordinators consider the programme and supervision of the graduate students in detail with regard to their respective subelds. The administration and organisation of all graduate students in Applied Earth Sciences is the responsibility of Dr D. Ngan-Tillard (Room 00.520, Laboratory for Geo-engineering, tel. +31 (0)15 27 83325). The coordinator for graduate students in Civil Engineering is J.P. Oostveen (Room 00.480, Laboratory for Geo-Engineering, tel. +31 (0)15 27 85423).

Technology in Sustainable Development annotation In addition to the Masters degree, students of the Delft University of Technology can acquire an annotation for Technology in Sustainable Development. Three tasks must be fullled in order to be eligible for this annotation: Participation in a two-week course on recent developments in SD and the Sustainable Technological Development method Passing SD courses for 11 credits, chosen from two clusters Completing a thesis project related to SD (45-60 credits) (The SD referee advises students on the content of their work on SD.) This programme broadens and deepens the knowledge and skills that students will need in order to contribute effectively to sustainable technological development. Depth is guaranteed by the thesis project, which must focus on sustainability. Before and after each engineering programme, a Sustainable Development referee will determine whether Sustainable Development has been sufciently elaborated in the research question and in the nal thesis. Broadening of knowledge is achieved by the Technology in Sustainable Development course (WM0922TU) and a number of electives. WM0922 consists of two full weeks of study (including a one-week boat trip), in addition to independent study. It is offered twice each year: once in English (in the fall) and once in Dutch (in the spring). Electives Students are required to earn at least 11 credits from courses oriented towards SD. These courses are divided into two clusters: A. Design, Analysis, Tools B. Organisation, Policy & Society A full list of electives is available on the following website: http://www.odo.tudelft.nl.
