Choices stepwise

Master Mechanical Engineering at UT

a. Choose a competence profile 1 out of 3

b. Choose a specialisation 1 out of 11

c. Compose your own programme

Every programme is personalised

Within the frame work: approval is guaranteed

If not: ask the Examination Committee for approval

Which profile?

Three competence profiles:

1. Research & Development (R&D)

2. Design & Construction (D&C)

3. Organisation & Management (O&M)

Main questions:

• What are my strengths and weaknesses?

• What kind of work do a like?

• What kind of working environment do I like?

Answers to the three questions

What are my strengths and weaknesses? Reflection about roles and tasks in the project

groups; relative scores on exams…

What kind of work do I like?

To know, to invent, to realise, to organise

What kind of working environment do I like?

Breadth for every master student:

• Profile courses beyond specialisation

• Minimal one course of second profile

Depth: participate in and contribute to state of the art developments

• You must specialise• Advanced courses within specialisation• Graduation project within specialisation

Research & Development

Prof. Dr. Ir. Schipper:

Design & Construction

Prof. Dr. Ir. van Houten:

Organisation & Management  

See their presentations on this website

N.B.: The profiles R&D and D&C can be combined with all specialisations.

The profile O&M is under construction. The programme is worked out for the specialisations within departments OPM and ThW, while for other specialisations individual arrangements has to be made.

Restriction O&M

Combine BSc and MSc?

During one course year bachelor students are

allowed to participate in master courses,

provided:

– P-diploma

– ≥130 EC from the major programme

– required entrance level for the subject
