Please come to the International Office for general information, registration (in writing, not via Blackboard) or to obtain the course manual. Maaike Kraeger-Holland will be glad to assist you. If you would like to discuss your preferences or plans concerning internships, she can also arrange an appointment for you with the Internship Coordinator, Peter van Eck. 22 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 22 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 25-07-2007 14:57:32 CiTG Internship Office 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 traffic 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 find 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 identified. For this reason, a quarterly course evaluation is held with the director of studies, the quality assurance employee and the student societies. S T U DY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 23 23 25-07-2007 14:57:32 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 first floor) 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. 24 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 24 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 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 find 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 specified 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 committee’s approach S T U DY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 25 25 25-07-2007 14:57:32 26 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 26 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 25-07-2007 14:57:33 ECTS 4 4 4 CT4121 Steel Structures 3² CT4180 Plate Analysis, Theory and Application ECTS CT4110 Timber Structures 1*** Education period 2 CT4140 Dynamics of Structures1 CT4100 Materials and Ecological Engineering*** CT3121 Steel Structures 2² Education period 3 4 4 4 ECTS 4 4 WM0312CT Philosophy, Technology Assessment and Ethics for CT0 4 ECTS CT4160 Prestressed Concrete CT3110 Analysis of Slender Structures3 Education period 4 1 0 Compulsory course for MSc Civil Engineering.

4 4 3 3 4 4 4 ECTS 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 student’s 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 specific 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 firms, 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 46 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 46 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 25-07-2007 14:57:37 physics and building technology. This track emphasises the solution of buildingengineering problems, and this demands precise scientific 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 finishing works. The Building Engineering track (120 ECTs) includes several established courses (24 ECTs). Students are allowed to tailor their Master’s 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 Master’s 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: [email protected] 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 (flow 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 flows and related transport processes, turbulence, density currents, surface-waves and fluid-structure interactions) S T U DY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 47 47 25-07-2007 14:57:37 • Hydraulic Structures (relatively rigid structures, including water locks, weirs, piers, storm-surge barriers and quay walls; the design of sub-soil infrastructure, including immersed or bored tunnels and underground spaces. Although probabilistic design methods play an important role in the design of sea defences, they are currently implied in all fields 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 floods. The Water Management track is concerned with understanding water flows (i.e. surface water flows and groundwater flows) as they occur naturally, and with regulating these flows for societal purposes. Water managers are concerned with practically relevant issues, including flood 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 48 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 48 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 25-07-2007 14:57:37 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 quantification 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, fieldwork and pilot-plant testing play an important role in each focus area. Master’s degree students are thus actively involved in the research projects of the department.

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 traffic flows on roads and intersections, the application of informatics and communication technology for transport and traffic management, the design and control of public transport systems and the evaluation of the effects of traffic on the economy, road users and the environment. Through elective courses, students can choose their own emphases within this field (e.g. they may choose to focus on infrastructure planning or traffic 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 firms. They hold positions as planners, designers, researchers, consultants and, after several years of experience, managers. Further information: P.B.L.

Building structures, bridges and quays cannot function well without good foundations. Without knowledge 50 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 50 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 25-07-2007 14:57:37 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 specific 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 fields 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 Master’s 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 classified into two fields (i.e. Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences), two MSc coordinators are appointed, one for each sub-field. These coordinators consider the programme and supervision of the graduate students in detail with regard to their respective subfields. 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).

Three tasks must be fulfilled 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 sufficiently elaborated in the research question and in the final 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. 52 2-Civil_Engineering.indd 52 C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC 25-07-2007 14:57:37 Education in Sustainable Development (ODO) Project Group The Education in Sustainable Development project group supports all departments in their efforts to integrate sustainable development into their degree programmes.
