OCW People's Choice Award Best Video Lectures

Finalist: TU Delft Sanitary EngineeringIt's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. The Netherlands' Delft University of Technology, a renowned expert on solving water problems, has decided to share its expertise in this series of OCW lectures about keeping water clean in an urban environment. TU Delft is an international leader in water management studies, and students and urban planners around the world can benefit from learning its take on topics like drinking water supply and sewage treatment. In addition to providing great content, our voters were impressed with how easy it was to download the videos. One voter praised Delft's 'fast, accessible videos' and raved about how there's 'no delay in downloading.'

What do faculty member say?

WatermanagementDr. Ir. J.Q.J.C. Verberk

“Since we publish our courses on OCW, we see an increase in the number of international PhD students”

The students

“TU Delft content is almost as good as MIT, if not better”

Erasmus Mundus student

Egeruoh Chigoziri


“Advancing Frontiers without Borders”

“In today’s global village, access to the latest and greatest advancements in

science and engineering is only affordable to one percent of the world

population.

Imagine what discoveries and inventions could be made if instead

everybody would have access to this information.

OpenCourseWare is one of the ways to make the right progress in this

direction.”TU Delft OCW Ambassadors Network
