Choices stepwise Master Mechanical Engineering at UT a.Choose a competence profile1 out of 3 b.Choose a specialisation 1 out of ~11 c.Compose your own programme Every programme is personalised Within the framework approval! 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; 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? Monthly presentations by recent graduates….

Interested in sub discipline or application field Sub disciplines such as: mechanics, fluid dynamics, thermal engineering, biomechanics, material science, surface technology, automation, production and manufacturing……..… or Applications in: acoustics, combustion, light weight constructions, revalidation, laser technology, product development ……. Specialisation
personal programme Breadth for every master student: Profile courses beyond specialisation Minimal one course of second profile Depth: able to participate and contribute to the state of the art developments You must specialise Advanced courses within specialisation Graduation project within specialisation Approval of individual programme
Graduation Project (master- thesis) (40-45 EC) Intern- ship (15-20 EC) Profile courses (25 EC) Discipline courses (15-20 EC) Specialisation (0-10) Elective courses (10-15) Tweejarige master (120 EC)
Program 2 Prof. Dr. Ir. Hoeijmakers: Research & Development Prof. Dr. Ir. Schipper: Design & Construction Prof. Dr. Ir. van Houten: Organisation & Management See their presentations on this site.
Restriction O&M 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 department OPM and ThW, for other specialisations individual arrangements has to be made.
