Health & Safety, University Emergency Services

Like the staff of TU Delft, students are entitled to a safe and healthy work place/study space. This also entails the obligation to act in the interests of your own safety and that of others. The Netherlands has working condi tions legislation (‘ARBO legislation’) in place governing safety standards and rules of conduct.TU Delft also has specific environmental, health & safety rules.

Basic rulesStudents may not enter technical areas. Performance of actions and exper iments involving an element of risk are only permitted on the instruction of and with permission of the supervisor. Anyone who suspects that he or she may be exposed to risk in the performance of an assignment may refuse that assign-ment and contact the Health & Safety Adviser concerning the matter.


University Profile1

Undesirable behaviour Aggression, sexual intimidation, threats, pestering and discrimination are consid-ered undesirable behaviour and are not tolerated. Undesirable behaviour can be reported to the Executive Board. You can also contact your faculty’s confidential adviser, who can handle complaints discretely.

Smoking prohibitedTU Delft is a non-smoking institution. Smoking is not permitted anywhere except in the smoking areas and locations where smoking is temporarily permitted. Vio-lation of the non-smoking rule is considered undesirable behaviour. Anyone who is being disturbed by smoking can report it to the Health & Safety Adviser or the confidential adviser.

Computer workIntensive computer work can lead to neck and upper body problems. These con-ditions are commonly referred to as ‘RSI.’ The chance of RSI is increased when working under pressure, in situations such as completing a thesis. Advanced RSI is very difficult to cure and should be avoided at all costs. Make sure your work-ing posture is always correct and take short work breaks at regular intervals. One useful tool to help you do this is the ‘Workpace’ programme.The Health & Safety Adviser can help you and evaluate your workspace.

Emergencies and University Emergency ServicesTU Delft has a University Emergency Services organisation. The members of the University Emergency Services organisation are known to the staff. They per-form first aid and act in the event of an emergency Any time you are injured, always seek treatment. Always report any accidents or near-accidents to Univer-sity Emergency Services.In the event of fire, a work-related accident or a dangerous situation, follow these rules:• A ‘slow whoop’ siren over the public address system indicates that an alarm

has been sounded.• Follow the instructions immediately.• Get yourself to safety and warn others.• In the event of fire, activate a fire alarm.• In the event of an emergency, dial the emergency number (112) on a land

line and answer the questions.• Follow the instructions of University Emergency Services personnel.

Academic Counsellors

The Student Service Desk staff and the academic counsellors are there to help you find answers to many questions. This may vary from providing standard information about the degree programme to arranging help with private matters that may affect your studies.Studying obviously does not always come easily. For example: • You may want to study, but can’t get started; you can’t concentrate.• After your initial enthusiasm, you may start to lose interest in your

programme.• You are overly concerned with the enormous (in your perception) conse-

quences of failing to do well in your programme.• You suffer from dyslexia, RSI or some other condition.• You are homesick.• You need some kind of help concerning a quite simple question.

The Academic Counsellor is the first person to consult about such study-related questions. In some cases, students have personal problems that they would like to discuss, particularly if the problems are affecting their studies. If your prob-lems seem very serious, the Academic Counsellor can refer you to other profes-sionals, including the student psychologist. Finally, the Academic Counsellor can



help you find solutions that can minimise any delays in your studies.

The Academic Counsellors at the Faculty of EEMCS are:Mrs. J.M.A. Kooijman, MSc; Mrs. G. Rijnbeek, MSc; E-mail: [email protected] information is available on the following website: http://www.campus.ewi.tudelft.nl -> Academic CounsellorsPlease contact the Faculty Service Desk, which is located in the main hall oppo-site the elevators, to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Rijnbeek or Mrs. Kooij-man: Tel: +31 (0)15 27 89803; E-mail: service [email protected].

2.1.9

Teaching Formats and Attendance

Study units can have the following formats:• Lecture

A lecture held by a professor or other staff member for a (large) group of students

• Instruction Working in small groups, students complete exercises and solve problems by



applying the course material. It is essential for students to participate actively and prepare by studying the course material.

• Tutorials A staff member discusses a number of typical exercises. Each student works individually and tries to complete the exercises in advance.

• Guided self-study Students work independently on a subject, without lectures, instruction or tutorials. A staff member is available for guidance.

• Project Students work either in groups or individually on a scientific or technical problem. The objective is to apply their knowledge to solving a complex problem within a restricted time.

• Problem-oriented education Students work in a group on a complex problem without the necessary prior knowledge. It may be necessary to collect information from several disciplines. The students acquire new knowledge during the learning process.

• Laboratory work Students perform experimental work in a laboratory guided by an assistant.

• Research Students perform experimental or theoretical work on a new subject within one of the research groups.

• Attendance During teaching periods, students are expected to attend the lectures and tutorials. Attendance at the laboratory practicals is mandatory. Given the intensity of the MSc programme, we strongly advise against taking a leave of absence during these teaching periods, as such absences can result in missing essential lectures. The faculty is not responsible for delays in study progress resulting from such actions, and they will not take remedial action.

2.1.10

Assessment and ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)

AssessmentMarks for written examinations will be posted as soon as possible, but always within twenty working days after the examination. The results are posted on your personal Blackboard page. If you are a registered member, you can obtain an overview of all your marks to date on Blackboard. In case of doubt, please consult the Service Desk. Marks for individual study units are valid for ten years. Please note, however, that the completion of some course components (e.g. quizzes, tests, interim examinations, home work, exercises) may remain valid for only a very limited time!



ECTSThe European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme. These objectives are preferably specified in terms of learning out-comes and competences to be acquired. The key features of EC are as follows:The workload for a full-time student is 60 credits for one academic year. The student workload for a full-time degree programme in the Netherlands amounts to 1680 hours per year; one credit therefore represents 28 working hours.The student workload in EC includes time spent in lectures, seminars, on self-study, examination preparation, examinations and other related activi ties.Credits in EC are allocated to all study units within a study programme (e.g. courses, internships, thesis work); they reflect the quantity of work each compo-nent requires in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of study within a given programme.Credits in EC can be obtained only after the required work has been completed and the achieved learning outcomes have been assessed.

Marking scale and marksStudent performance is expressed in terms of ECTS marks. The ECTS marking scale ranks students on a statistical basis (see also Table). The Dutch marking system ranges from 1 (nil) to 10 (excellent). Marks of 6 or higher are considered ‘passing’, while marks of 5,5 or lower are considered ‘failing’. In the case of prac-tical work, marks are sometimes replaced by verbal descriptions.

Right of review and appealAfter the examination results have been posted, you will have at least 20 work-ing days in which to review your work. You are permitted to make a copy of it. During this period, you may also make an appointment with the lecturer to dis-cuss the work. In many cases, the lecturer will distribute answer sheets or post them on Blackboard.

Programme Evaluation

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science aims to improve the courses it offers. We therefore ask your opinion on the pro-gramme in two ways. First, the student associations and the faculty organise ‘lecture response meetings’ with groups of students to discuss courses of the current semester. In some cases, these meetings also include the instructors who are involved, as well as the appropriate Director of Studys. The results are used to improve the quality of the courses. Second, the faculty asks students to complete questionnaires. These ques tionnaires contain standard questions, and the results are published as statistics. We urge you to participate in these evalu-ation activities, as the results play an important role in the improvement of our programmes.

EEMCS Graduation Policy [MSc]

The MSc graduation policy has been made under the authority of the Board of Examiners in order to harmonize the different graduation practices at the 5 EEMCS MSc programmes. This policy documents the definitions, objec tives, pro-cedures, starting requirements and the assessment criteria of a Master thesis. It is meant for different users:• for the student and supervisor: to get an answer on the what, when and how

questions • for the members of the graduation committee: to know what criteria are to

be used to grade the thesis • for the members of Board of Examiners: to monitor thesis grades and

procedures, in order to guarantee that final qualifications are met in a reliable and valid way.

STARTMSc Graduation Flowchart



Summary of procedure • The student should get acquainted with the specialisations within the master

programme. • Three months before the start of the thesis project, the student shows his

ISP and planning for TEP to the MSc coordinator and selects a thesis advisor and a thesis topic.

• Four weeks after the start of the project, the student writes a short proposal for thesis research with objectives, milestones, deliverables. The thesis advisor checks the proposal at: feasibility in time, academic level, research question, research methodology, suitable to person.

• After four months, the student should give a midterm presentation at a colloquium of the chosen specialisation.

• Three months before the thesis defense, the thesis advisor compiles a graduation committee and sends it for approval to the Board of Exam iners.

• Four weeks before the thesis defense, the student should get “green light” from the thesis advisor.

• Two weeks before the defense the student sends the final report to the members of the graduation committee. He also sends an announcement to all people involved.

• At the defense he gives a 40 minutes presentation and answers the questions from the graduation committee. The graduation committee decides about the grade.

• Twenty working days before the final examination the student submits the examination application. The Board of Examiners checks fulfillment of all requirements.

• At the graduation ceremony the student receives the thesis diploma and has to sign it.

Formal Procedures The master thesis project is the final part of the EEMCS master’s degree pro-grammes and aims to show that the student has acquired the academic compe-tences for the degree of Master of Science. The master thesis project comprises 40 - 45 ECTS and should take a maximum of nine months of work. In the programme Microelectronics explicit prototyping and field testing the period may be longer and is the project extended to 60 ECTS, i.e. a year. The student can only start with his master thesis project when he/she has an approved ISP and has finished all of the compulsory courses of the master pro-gramme. Only 12 EC of elective courses may still be open. To show this, the stu-dent should hand in a TEP to the MSc Coordinator before starting the master



thesis assignment. The master thesis project consists of a research / design assignment which is assessed on basis of a written report, an oral presentation and defense, by a graduation committee. The proposal for the graduation committee should be submitted by the thesis advisor for approval to the Board of Examiners, three months before the thesis defense. The graduation committee is installed by the Board of Examiners, and is nomi-nated by the responsible full professor in whose area the graduation will take place, at least three months before the graduation date.

The graduation committee comprises of at least three members:1) a chair (full professor or associate professor of the faculty),2) a full professor or associate / assistant professor of the faculty,3) a full professor or associate / assistant professor.One of these core members is from another domain than the chosen specialisa-tion and is allied to a university as a full professor or associate / assistant pro-fessor. Furthermore the graduation committee may comprise researchers, PhD’s and internal or external experts. Only the core members of the graduation com-mittee, installed by the Board of Examiners, deter mine the grade of the thesis. (See also R&G art. 27)

Students can present and defend their thesis work only after they have finished all courses as stated in their approved ISP. The defense consists of a public session including a presentation by the student and a session including an examination of the student by the grad uation com-mittee, after which the graduation committee decides on the grade. Twenty working days before the defense (See R&G art. 12.1), the student applies for the final examination by the Board of Examiners by submitting the Application Form Final Presentation, Final Examination at the service desk, and uploading a pdf of the thesis report for the electronic TU Delft repository.

The Board of Examiners assesses whether the student has completed all parts of his master programme and may enter the final graduation cere mony. At the graduation ceremony the student receives the thesis diplom and has to sign it.

Getting Started Ultimately three months before starting the actual thesis work, the student should have decided upon the chosen specialisation. The student shows his ISP and TEP to the Master coordinator. After consultation with the MSc coordinator, a thesis advisor may be chosen and after consultation with the thesis advisor, a



thesis topic will be selected. In addition, a daily supervisor (tutor) or an advisor from the company may be assigned. The thesis topic should comply with the research area of the thesis advisor. The master thesis project may be done within a research programme of the uni-versity, or within another suitable context, e.g. a research institute or enterprise. Companies should be aware that the thesis project may require some freedom for academic work which may not directly contribute to the company’s own busi-ness process. The thesis should have sufficient academic depth. The project, being either a research or design project should be performed following a systematic approach, and the assignment should cover all phases of a research/design project includ-ing an explicit modelling/implementation/building phase, and a validation/evalu-ation of the results. Within the first four weeks after the start of the project, the student should write a short proposal with objectives and a planning of deliverables and mile-stones (appendix 2). The thesis advisor assesses the proposal on feasi bility and academic depth, and may suggest modifications. The student should indicate in advance whether he is available fulltime. If not, he has to make provisions with the research group or company to do the assign-ment in parttime.

Guidance The student should carry out the project autonomously under guidance of a the-sis advisor. Even in case of a complex project carried out by a team of students, each student carries out his own thesis project. The student and the thesis advisor (and the daily supervisor) meet on a two-weekly or three-weekly basis to discuss the progress. The student should pro-vide an agenda and a written progress report for the meetings describing the progress and the main discussion items. In between the meetings the student can ask the daily supervisor for technical assistance. For the specified milestones, the student submits a progress report (a prelimi-nary chapter of the thesis report) and describes (or demonstrates) the interme-diate results and findings. The supervisors will give feedback on the results and will indicate whether the project is still on track. In all cases, the student is assumed to take initiative and to guard the progress of the project. The student should participate in the colloquia of the specialisation. Halfway the project, the student should give a midterm presentation on the project e.g. at such a colloquium, in presence of his advisors. During the project, and in particular near the end, the student should start writ-ing the thesis report and should hand in chapters for reviewing to the thesis advisor and daily supervisor. The thesis advisor should give feedback in a rea-sonable time (within two weeks).



Six weeks before the planned defense, the student should hand in a final version of the thesis report for approval (“green light”) by the thesis advisor. Four weeks before the planned defense, the thesis advisor gives approval (“green light”) to the student.

Thesis Report The thesis report documents the results of the thesis project. It contains an account of the work, the followed procedure, intermediate milestones and the decisions taken. The thesis report is written in English. The thesis report has a title page which contains the title of the thesis, the date of the thesis defense, the name and student number, the chosen specialisation, the master programme, the faculty EEMCS, and TU Delft. The thesis report contains a preface that explains the topic of the thesis, the context (institute or company), the main results in a few lines and the names of the members of the graduation committee. The preface may end with a few acknowledgements, and completed with name and date. The thesis report contains an introduction chapter that introduces the main research themes and gives an overview of the report. The thesis report contains a chapter with prior art that describes previous work and scientific publications relevant for the topic. This chapter refor mulates the research questions in a form that complies with the state of the art in the field. The thesis report contains several chapters that describe the performed work. The thesis report concludes with a concluding chapter with a discussion of the results, and suggestions for future research. The thesis report may contain a scientific paper about the work, often written together with the thesis advisor, added as an appendix. The thesis report will be made public after the assessment by the gradua tion committee, unless the organization in which the thesis project has taken place considers that its publication would harm its interests (e.g. patents, knowledge, market figures). The organization or the thesis advisor can submit a request concerning confidentiality for some parts to the Board of Examiners. The mem-bers of the graduation committee, however, should have access to the full report. Based on comments and suggestions by the graduation committee, the student may be requested to make additional changes to the thesis report after the defense. The grade will only be submitted to the administration after approval of the final thesis report by the thesis advisor.

DefenseAfter approval of the thesis report (“green light”), a date is set. The student will make a reservation for a room/lecture hall.



Two weeks before the defense the student sends an announcement for the the-sis defense to the committee members, to the staff of the specialisation, and if desired to his family and friends, with the title of the thesis, the place of the defense, the date and time, the committee, and the abstract of his project (250 words). The student will supply a digital or printed copy of the final thesis report to the members of the Graduation Committee, at least two weeks before the date of the thesis defense. Exceptions can be made upon agreement with the thesis advisor. The defense should be clearly announced. Prior to the session, the student checks the room and the equipment (portable, beamer). After the session the student takes care that the room is brought back in order. The public session starts with a short introduction by the chair of the grad uation committee, introducing the candidate, the topic of the project, the members of the graduation committee and the examination procedure. The student gives a 30-40 minutes presentation on the project. This should cover all aspects and phases of the project, starting with a clear problem formu-lation and ending with conclusions. The presentation should be on a level that addresses the colleague students, i.e. it is not intended as a layman’s presenta-tion. After the presentation there 10 minutes for some questions from the audi-ence. After the presentation and discussion, the thesis committee examines the candi-date about the thesis. This will take a maximum of one hour and will give each committee member the opportunity to discuss the work in detail with the candi-date. After the examination, the committee withdraws to make up the grade.

AssessmentThe graduation committee assesses the thesis and the defense on the following criteria:• Quality of work (novelty, magnitude, grasp, methodology, publishable)• Personal performance (autonomy, planning, creativity, attitude)• Quality of thesis report (clarity, organization, argumentation)• Oral presentation and defense (clarity, focus and relevance, discussion)

These criteria are published in the study guide and should be known to the stu-dent beforehand. See appendix 6 ‘Thesis evaluation form’. The voting members of the graduation committee determine the final grade. The grade should reflect a weighted average of the four scores above, but need not to be an exact arithmetical mean. The final mark starts from 5 up to and 10. Marks ending in .5 may also be used. If the student shows excellence (i.e., is candidate for a grade 10) the thesis



advisor should consult the chairman of the Board of Examiners, a few weeks in advance of the defense, who may advice to add an extra member to the gradu-ation committee. The motivation for the grade at each of the four criteria as listed above is sum-marized on a form (see appendix 6) and signed by the chairman of the gradua-tion committee. The candidate is given a short account of the assessment, either in private or in front of the audience.

DisputesIn case of disputes between the student and the daily supervisor or/and the thesis advisor, the student may consult the MSc coordinator. If this does not lead to a solution, disputes can be brought before the Board of Exam iners. The student can appeal against decisions of, and the treatment by the Gradua-tion Committee, at the TUD’s Examinations Appeals Board, on the basis of article 7.60 of the WHW. However, there can be no discussion on the grade.

On the Blackboard site EEMCS Teachers checklists are published for thesis advi-sor, graduation committee and Board of Examiners, as well as question naires for thesis advisors to evaluate the supervision.

2.1.27

Plagiarism and Cheating

From time to time, the media contain reports about scientists or scholars who are suspected of plagiarism (i.e. the outright copying of someone else’s work). Although some of these cases are false alarms, others involve a true cause for suspicion. In most cases, a discussion ensues about the difference between fraud and the creative assimilation of someone else’s ideas. How familiar are YOU with what is acceptable in the academic world?



CheatingWe assume that you are well beyond the stage of stealing a furtive glance at your neighbour’s work during an examination or succumbing to the temptation to cheat using a mobile telephone or palmtop. After all, you are in a university environment and you are being trained to be an independent thinker – an indi-vidual with considerable analytical powers, a good debater and one who is capa-ble of developing creative ideas. None of these attributes can be acquired by reproducing someone else’s work – but you know that already.

Citation, paraphrase – or fraud?Far more difficult is the task of drawing the line between a ‘simple’ citation and plagiarism. For example, is it permissible to quote parts of a published article in a paper you are writing? Yes, it is, provided the texts that are cited are not too long, the citation appears between quotation marks and the source is acknowl-edged. It makes no difference whether you have found the article in a library or on the Internet: a citation is a citation. This should be clear enough. Unfortu-nately, it is impossible to be so clear about another activity that is quite common in universities: paraphrasing. Para phrasing involves describing the substance of a text written by a third party in your own words. As in the case of citations, paraphrasing is usually used to back up your own argument or ideas, and not to present someone else’s views as your own. This is a grey area, which can lead many people into problems. Part of your university education consists of acquir-ing the academic norms and values that apply in this type of situation: learning to think about the theories and propositions adopted from others, seeing to it that your own reasoning is apparent in your work and, in case of doubt, talking the matter over with your lecturer or fellow students.

Free ridingAnother unacceptable practice is riding along on the efforts of others. If you are part of a group that is carrying out an assignment, you are expected to pull your own weight. That is understood. Nonetheless, group work, which we consider extremely important, occasionally makes it possible to slip into the role of a ’free rider’. If you have a free rider on your project, speak to him or her about it. If necessary, ask your lecturer for advice.

You have crossed the line: what next?The faculty produces very well-trained engineers who will be in charge of com-plex projects that demand all of their academic skills. The faculty is therefore watchful of the quality of the studies that it offers and takes action against every form of fraud. In all cases, lecturers report fraud to the Board of Examiners. Stu-dents who are suspected of copying, cheating or free riding run the risk of being barred by the Board of Examiners from all tests and examinations held by Delft



University of Technology for up to one year. This can also have wide-ranging consequences for both the duration and the financial aspects of your course of study.It is therefore important for you to ensure that you are above all suspicion. Switch off and put away your mobile telephone and/or palmtop during tests and examinations. Any study materials you may have with you must also be stored out of sight. Do not tempt others into copying your work, either during tests or any other form of examination. If you are experiencing diffi culties or a critical shortage of time in preparing for an examination or any other assignment, talk to your lecturer or academic counsellor about it. Always remember that receiv-ing an unsatisfactory mark or postponing completion of your programme is far less serious than committing fraud.

2.1.28

Cultural Aspects

ACADEMIC ATTITUDEIn the Netherlands, the objective of higher education is to produce gradu ates who are critical, independent thinkers. This is reflected in both the curriculum and the way in which knowledge and skills are transferred to students. To pro-mote an autonomous attitude, the academic curriculum focuses largely on ana-lysing and problem solving in groups, and on the preparation of papers. Rela-tively little attention is paid to simply repro ducing information. Students are expected to know where to find the infor mation they need and to make critical use of it. The university is no longer the ivory tower it once was. There are now many links between university research and society. Scientific research is becoming increasingly focused on the needs of society. This is also reflected in the academic programmes; students carry out practical work assignments as part of their studies, and they receive practical, on-the-job training at compa-nies. Many university programmes aim to develop creative thinking and prob-lem-solving skills in students from the start, and this is especially true of engi-neering programmes.In general, a Master’s degree programme requires students to be inde pendent learners and use their own initiative. You will do much of your learning alone. Lectures are alternated with group work; the average group meets for two hours each week. Lecturers assemble material into readers, which form the backbone of most courses. In addition, however, you will need to find material in libraries. You are expected to use your own initia tive if any problems arise, whether they involve the organisation of the programme, the subject matter or a specific lec-turer. You should talk with someone about the problem; you can always turn to your coordinator or the academic counsellors, who will listen and do their best to help.

It is possible to follow an ‘honours track’ in all MSc degree programmes of Delft University of Technology (TUD). Motivated students who have finished their Bachelor’s degree programme with a weighted averaged mark of 7.5 or higher, and students who have excelled during the first semester (no fails and marks of 7.5 or higher) are eligible to follow an honours track in their Master programme.

An honours track is a special individual programme in addition to the regular MSc degree programme of 840 hours (30 EC) and is related to the discipline of the Master and/or to the role of technology in society. The extra programme has to be completed during the course of the student’s MSc degree programme. The content of the honours track programme should be thematically consistent and must be approved by the Director of Studies. Students who have successfully completed their honours track receive a special certificate from the university.

An honours track programme may offer more depth, such as a preparation for a PhD programme, or a wider orientation, for example in the field of sustainability or another science subject. All honours track students of TUD follow a specially developed course of 6 EC. This course is interdisciplinary and focuses on aca-demic competences such as communication skills, philosophy of science, metho-dology and ethics. Students who fulfil (or will fulfil) the above-mentioned requirements and are interested in an honours track may apply by means of a short essay in English. This essay should contain the student’s motivation and a proposal for the honours track programme.

For further information contact the MSc programme coordinators.

3.2

The individual study plan

Before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year, students should choose a thesis supervisor and, in consultation with this supervisor, prepare a study plan, which must be approved by the Board of Examiners. The procedure is as follows:

• At the start of the Master’s programme, each student has an intake inter view with the MSc coordinator and should choose a thesis supervisor as soon as possible. Students may also contact one of the academic counsel lors for assistance and advice in this matter.

• Students design their study plans in consultation with their thesis supervisors.



• The MSc coordinator determines whether the study plan conforms to the rules of the Master’s programme.

• The individual study plan is submitted to the Board of Examiners for approval.

One of the main tasks of the MSc coordinator is to supervise the procedures and quality of the Master’s programme. The MSc coordinator can address general questions on the overall procedures of the programme and actively monitors the MSc students through intake and progress interviews. The MSc coordinator also informs students who hold a BSc degree about the possibilities of participating in the Master’s .

3.3

Graduation Requirements

The individual study programme needs the approval of the Board of Exam iners. The Master’s degree will be awarded if you have earned for all units of the indi-vidual study programme a mark that is greater than or equal to 6.

3.4

Teaching degree (TULO)

A special programme is offered to students who wish to obtain a degree in teaching mathematics or computer science. This programme consists of two parts: a basic component (30 credits) and an advanced component (30 credits). The courses required for the basic part of this programme can be completed either as a minor within the BSc programme or for the non-mathematic electives or non-CS electives within the MSc programme in Applied Mathematics or Com-puter Science, or as a postgraduate programme. The advanced component is open only to stu-dents who have completed the basic part. Students who have completed the basic component within the BSc programme can use the advanced component for the non-mathematics electives within the MSc programme in Applied Math-ematics/ Computer Science or as a postgraduate programme. Because the programme focuses on teaching at Dutch educational institu tions, it requires an excellent command of the Dutch language (both spoken and writ-ten). The working language for the teaching programme is Dutch.

Additional information is available on the following website (which also contains the course schedule): http://www.tulo.tudelft.nl



Students who are interested in this programme should contact: Drs. M.A.F.M. (Martin) Jacobs, Tel: +31 (0)15 27 85594E-mail: [email protected]

3.5

Technology in sustainable development (TiDO)

Graduates with a MSc degree from the Delft University of Technology should be prepared to work as designers, researchers or managers. In the next decade, they will be confronted with technological challenges related to sustainable development. These engineers should therefore be acquainted with the interplay between sustainable development and the applications of science and technol-ogy. For this purpose, a special programme has been initiated at the Delft Uni-versity of Technology: Technology in Sustainable Development (Technologie in Duurzame Ontwikkeling or TiDO). This programme prepares interested students more thoroughly in the area of sustainable development, environment and tech-nology. The programme consists of the colloquium including a one week boat trip (4 EC) and (at least 5 EC) electives from the Cluster A (Design, Analysis and Tools) and (at least 5 EC) electives from Cluster B (Organization and Society). The total number of credit points of TiDO should be at least 15 EC. A full list of TiDO-related courses and additional information is available on the following website: http://www.tbm.tudelft.nl/tdo. Students may select courses from this list to fulfill the non-mathematics elective requirements of the MSc programme in Applied Mathematics. In addition to the above-mentioned coursework, students following the TiDO programme are expected to complete a Master’s thesis project related to sustainable develop-ment. Students that have successfully completed this programme will receive a special endorsement on their MSc certificate. Information about OSIRIS (the Organisation of Students for Information and Reflection on Interdisciplinarity and Sustainability), which consists primarily of participants and alumni of this minor programme is available on the following website: http://www.osiris.tudelft.nl.

3.6

Master Annotation Entrepre neurship

Introduction Are you a master’s student with ambitions to start up your own business? Are you on the threshold of doing so, do you want to keep your options open or do you just want to learn more about entrepreneurship? The anno tation entrepre-neurship on master’s level is developed to help you gain more knowledge in and prepare yourself for entrepreneurship. The annota tion is an entrepreneurial accent of your regular Master program.

Program MSc students who are interested in entrepreneurship can opt for the new master annotation ‘entrepreneurship’, which trains students to be entrepreneurs, through a combination of modules and a graduation project that partly focuses on marketing a service or product. Entrepre neurship can mean starting up your own business, but can also stand for entrepreneurship in a more general context, such as innovation at existing companies, take-overs, spin-outs, etc. Students, who complete the annotation successfully, receive an annotation with their degree.

The annotation ‘entrepreneurship’ consists of three components: 1 A combination of entrepreneurship modules (12 ECTS). The coordinator of DCE, the coordinator of your Faculty, and the student put together an individual combination of modules in which aspects as e.g. business admin istration and leadership are dealt with. 2 Attending the course Entrepreneurship Annotation Week (WM4001TU, 2 ECTS) 3 A graduation project focusing on marketing a technical service or product (WM4003TU, 8 ECTS). The project can be carried out with the intention of start-ing up your own business, but also if you do not plan to do so immedi ately, you can add an entrepreneurial touch to your graduation. In both cases, a member who supervises the student specifically with regard to entrepreneurship is added to the thesis committee.

At most 12 EC of the course work of this programme may be included in the individual study programme in the non-mathematics electives part As a conse-quence, at least 10 EC have to be taken on top of the regular 120 EC of the master programme. For more information on the annotation ‘entrepreneurship’ check out our web-site www.dce.tudelft.nl or the MSc-coordinator: Dr.ir. Martine A. van Veelen [email protected]



NB The annotation ‘entrepreneurship’ is developed by the Delft Centre for Entre-preneurship. The TU Delft Centre for Entrepreneurship (DCE) stimulates stu-dents and researchers from the TU Delft to become entre preneurs or engage in entrepreneurial activity.

3.7

TUD Design Challenge

What is the TUD Design Challenge? The TUD Design Challenge offers second year Master’s students a unique oppor-tunity to demonstrate how innovative and creative they are. Inspired by Stan-ford University’s ‘design school’ formula, student teams combine their entrepre-neurial, engineering and design skills to develop practical solutions for the real world innovation problems of our business partners. This is your chance to solve challenging innovation problems in a multi disciplinary team of the most moti-vated and talented students from various faculties. You will receive on the job training from a senior coach, plus weekly feedback and support from our ‘client’ partners.

For Whom? The TUD Design Challenge is a project course developed for second year Mas-ter’s students just before their thesis work (WM1203TU, 12 ECTS). It is open to students from all faculties across Delft University of Technology. We are looking for students with a background in science, engineering, design or management. Project teams of four to five students start every September and February. The projects last five months, requiring roughly a halftime commitment. There is a strong drive towards innovation. Project assignments encompass: opportunity identification and analysis, design iterations, testing and delivering the final solution (perhaps as a prototype) with a business plan. The solution can take many forms, such as a tangible product, software tool or service con-cept.

Assignments The assignments vary every half year. We have drawn interest from large busi-nesses (like Océ Technologies, Siemens, Rabobank, Ahold, Philips, KLM, Micro-soft, Sun Microsystems, TNO ICT, Randstad, Dura Vermeer, Imtech and Ecofys) and from smaller companies pursuing interesting innovations. For more informa-tion please check out www.DesignChallenge.TUDelft.nl for current projects and/or the digital study guide. This project, WM1203TU (12 EC), may be included in the individual study pro-gramme in the non-mathematics electives part.

Foreign Exchange

You may consider doing a part of your individual study programme abroad as a foreign exchange student. The contact person within your research group has many international contacts. If going abroad requires a change in your individual study programme, you have to consult your MSc programme coordinator. The faculty’s Internationalisation and Practical Training department helps students who are interested in studying abroad.

The Master of Science programme in Applied Mathematics

4.1.1

Composition of the Master’s degree programme 2009

The Master’s Degree Programme has only one track: Applied Mathematics. Within this track there are two specialisation options: 1 Computational Science and Engineering2 2. Probability, Risk and Statistics

The programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and starts each year in September. It is also possible to start the Master’s degree programme in the second semester. In that case, however, students might experience some prob-lems due to dependencies between some of the course taught in the first semester and some of the courses in the second semester. Never theless, the courses in the master programme will be scheduled in such a way that it is pos-sible to compose an individual study programme consisting of a limited choice of courses in which the successor relation ships are almost not violated. Students should realise, however, that starting in the second semester could take some extra effort.

Each year the dean issues the list of the orientation courses and of the courses for each specialisation option.The lists with these courses are published in the digital study guide.

Students must submit their individual study programme for approval by the Board of Examiners before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year. The study plan should be drawn up in consultation with the thesis super visor.

An individual study programme consists of the following parts:1 A common core worth 21 EC2 Orientation courses worth 12 EC3 A compulsory internship worth 12 EC or 18 EC4 Courses chosen from one of the lists of the specialisation options worth at

least 18 EC5 An elective part that the student must spend on units of study that are not

part of the Applied Mathematics curriculum, such as a work experi ence, international exchange programme, courses offered by other disciplines, a minor, courses to fulfil the requirements for the TULO, language courses



(maximal 6 EC), the Christiaan Huygens study trip (3EC), etc. The elective part and the internship must together be worth at least 18 EC.

6 A thesis project worth 42 EC (WI5005). The thesis project is the last study unit of the programme and serves to prove that the student acquired the academic competencies of a Master of Science. The project involves a research or design task with sufficient academic level. The project may be executed within a research programme at TU Delft, or in a suitable research institute or company. The project must be executed with a systematic approach and should include all phases of a research or design project: analysis, modelling, implementation/construction and validation/evaluation. The student executes the thesis project independ ently, with guidance of one or more thesis supervisors, one of them from the scientific staff of TU Delft.

4.1.2

Common core courses (21 EC)

The common core consists of the following courses:

WI4201 Scientific Computing 6 EC

WI5118 Internship 18 EC

The internship is compulsory for all students, apart from the exceptions men-tioned below, that before the start of the academic year 2009-2010 do not have an approved Individual Study Programme (ISP). Only students that are admitted to the Master Programme Applied Mathe matics can submit their ISP to the Board of Examiners with a request for approval.Exceptions: the internship is not compulsory for students that follow a bridging programme to compensate deficiencies, follow the Teacher degree programme, or follow the TIDO programme or perform their thesis project at an institute that is not Delft University of Technology. In the last case mentioned an internship evaluation form must be submitted to the intern ship co-ordinator before the



defence and the internship co-ordinator must be a member of the thesis defence committee.Students with legitimate reasons can submit a request at the Board of Examin-ers to be released from the compulsory internship.

Adjusted Programmes

5.2.1

Programme for professional education graduates

Students having obtained a relevant ’HBO degree’ from a Dutch institute of pro-fessional education in Electrical Engineering (Elektrotechniek), Embedded Sys-tems or Computer Science (Technische Informatica) can gain access to the Mas-ter’s degree programme via a bridging programme. The bridging programme consists of approximately 30 EC in the field of calculus, mathematical modelling and computer engineering.

All students must include the following study units to their indi vidual bridging programme:

WI1708TH1 Analysis 1 3 EC


WI1807TH1 Linear Algebra 1 3 EC


EE2511 Stochastic processes 3 EC


ET3155 Algorithms and Datastructures 5 EC

For students with an HBO degree Computer Science (Technische Informatica):

EE1410 Digital Systems 5 EC

For students with an HBO degree Electrical Engineering (Elektro-techniek):

EE1400 Programming in C

TI1400 Computerorganisation

EE2421 OO Programmeren

Students will gain access to the Master’s degree programme if they have their HBO diploma and if they earned a mark greater than or equal to 6.0 for a set of study units that add up to at least 30 EC and include at least WI1708TH1, WI1708TH3, WI1807TH1, WI1807TH2 and EE2511. The study units of the bridging programme that are not included in this set of 30 EC may be part of the



Master’s degree programme and will be considered ‘homologation courses’ in the free elective space, which is restricted to 15 EC.

This bridging programme is valid for two years. If it has not been completed within two years, students have to transfer to the new bridging programme, with the understanding that credits earned for study units that are identical in the old and the new bridging programme remain valid.

5.2.2


According to article 7.3d of the law on Higher Education and Research, students can draw up a flexible ISP that will lead to an examination. Unlike the ISP referred to under Article 1 point 1.3. the flexible individual study programme referred to under Article 3 point 1 has to be submitted by the stu-dent for approval by the Board of Examiners in advance, that is, before com-mencement of the intended Master’s degree programme.

5.3

Interim examinations; entry requirements

The order of interim examinationsIf there is a specific order in which the interim examinations are to be taken, this shall be published in the Master’s digital Study Guide.

The form of the interim examinationsThe form of the interim examinations is specified in the digital study guide and in the Master’s Study Guide before the start of the concerned education period.

Entry requirements for the study unitsIf students have to meet a specific requirement before starting a unit of study, this requirement shall be published in the digital study guide and in the Master’s Study Guide.

Students must pass the Master’s degree course work as stated in their indi vidual study programme to within 18 EC before embarking on the thesis project and have to show a Thesis Entrance Permit to their thesis super visor. With regard to the thesis project, the thesis supervisor may impose addi tional conditions for starting the thesis project. Students can present and defend their thesis work only after they have finished all courses as stated in their approved ISP.



5.4

Transitional ruling

5.4.1


If a new study programme is drawn up for a certain year of study, then interim examinations for the units of study of the old programme that are discontinued will be set twice in the academic year following the year which the units were taught for the last time.

5.4.2

Transition to a new programme

If a new study programme is drawn up for a certain year of study, students that started before that year may have to change their individual study programme with the understanding that they include either all compulsory courses of the old programme or all compulsory courses of the new programme. Any change in the individual programme needs the approval of the Board of Examiners.

The Master of Science programme in Computer Science

6.1.1

Composition of the Master’s degree programme in Computer Science

The master’s degree programme in Computer Science has four tracks called Bio-informatics (BI), Information Architecture (IA), Media and Knowledge Engineer-ing (MKE) and Software Technology (ST), respectively. The programmes of the tracks are different.

The programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and starts each year in September. It is also possible to start the master programme in the second semester. In that case, however, students might experience some problems due to dependencies between some of the courses taught in de first semester and some of the courses in the second semester. Neverthe less, the courses in the master programme will be scheduled in such a way that it is possible to com-pose an individual study programme (ISP) consisting of a limited choice of courses in which the successor relation ships are almost not violated. Students should realise, however, that starting in the second semester could take some extra effort.

Each year the dean issues lists of study units that belong to the specialisa tion courses for each master and their tracks. These lists are published in the digital study guide.

Students compose an ISP in collaboration with their master coordinator and their thesis-advisor. The thesis-advisor ensures that the composed programme is coherent and suitable for the chosen specialisation.

Students must submit their ISP for approval by the Board of Examiners before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year.

What is the 3TU.Federation?

The three leading universities of technology in the Netherlands - Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Twente - have joined forces in the 3TU.Federation (www.3tu.nl). This federation maximises innovation by combining and concentrating the strengths of all three universities in research, education and knowledge transfer.Within the framework of this cooperation, five joint MSc programmes have been developed that address key issues in engineering and society. These five MSc programmes are:• Construction Management and Engineering• Embedded Systems• Science Education and Communication• Sustainable Energy Technology• Systems and Control

The main advantages for studentsThe new 3TU MSc programmes have been developed as exclusive programmes of outstanding academic quality that enable you to study at three of the top uni-versities in the Netherlands. These programmes focus on areas of innovation developed with state-of-the-art engineering expertise. You will have the opportunity to acquire qualifications and competences that are in high demand. When you graduate you will have obtained an outstanding qualification profile. The 3TU masters combine excellent subject-based competences, research skills, the capacity for independent analysis and synthesis and an advanced capability to apply knowledge in practice.The core programmes of the 3TU masters are largely identical and you can take classes at any of the three locations. The admission procedures, teaching and examination regulations and academic calendars at all three universities have been carefully matched. You benefit from the special strengths of the three universities by choosing a specialisation at any of the three locations. You are registered at the loca tion of your choice, but you are automatically co-registered at the other two locations to ensure access to the facilities of all three.

The Master of Science programme in Embedded Systems

8.2.1

Composition of the Master’s degree programme in

The programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and starts each year in September. It is also possible to start the Master’s degree programme in the second semester. In that case, however, students might experience some prob-lems due to dependencies between some of the courses taught in the first semester and some of the courses in the second semester. Nevertheless, the courses in the master programme will be scheduled in such a way that it is pos-sible to compose an individual study programme consisting of a limited choice of courses in which the successor relation ships are almost not violated. Students should realize, however, that starting in the second semester could take some extra effort.

Each year the dean issues a list of courses that belong to the list of special-isation courses. This list is published in the digital study guide and in the Mas-ter’s Study Guide.

Students must submit their individual study programme for approval by the board of examiners before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year.An individual st

Unlike the ISP referred to under Article 1 point 3.2. the flexible individual study programme referred to under Article 3 point 1 has to be submitted by the stu-dent for approval by the Board of Examiners in advance, that is, before com-mencement of the intended Master’s degree programme. (see Implementation Procedures ES)

8.4


The order of interim examinationsIf there is a specific order in which the interim examinations are to be taken, this shall be published in the Master’s Study Guide.

The form of the interim examinationsThe form of the interim examinations is specified in the digital study guide and in the Master’s Study Guide, before the start of the education period.

Entry requirements for the study units• If students have to meet a specific requirement before starting a unit of

study, this requirement shall be published in the digital study guide and in the Master’s Study Guide.

• Students must pass the Master’s degree course work as stated in his individual study programme to within 18 EC before embarking on the thesis project and have to show a Thesis Entrance Permit to their thesis supervisor. With regard to the thesis project, the thesis supervisor may impose additional conditions for starting the thesis project.



8.5

Transitional ruling

8.5.1


If a new study programme is drawn up for a certain year of study, then interim examinations for the units of study of the old programme that are discontinued will be set twice in the academic year following the year in which the units were taught for the last time.

8.5.2


If a new study programme is drawn up for a certain year of study, students that started before that year may have to change their individual study programme with the understanding that they include either all compulsory courses of the old programme or all compulsory courses of the new programme. Any change in the individual programme needs the approval of the Board of Examiners.
