5. 5 Faculty Technology, Policy and Management’s Mission The Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management intends through internationally oriented education and research to make a significant contribution to sustainable solutions to complex social problems TPM does this by analyzing the structure and operation of technical multi-actor systems and by developing intervention strategies, practices and instruments for designing and improving systems of this kind

6. Vermelding onderdeel organisatie 6 Typical TPM-problems (1) How can we prevent electricity liberalization from leading to widespread power failures? Is there a relationship between the liberalization and power failures elsewhere in the world? What technological solutions and institutional arrangements are worth recommending?

7. 7 Typical TPM-problems (2) How can organizations seize the strategic opportunities of ICT? What are the consequences for organizations of offering electronic services? What technology is needed and what organizational adjustments have to be made? And how can business processes be improved by telematics?

22. 22 Specific Context for PhD Students in the Netherlands Staff member for 4 years with regular salary Under supervision of one or two promotors and daily supervisor Not following courses, but conducting independent research and completing this with a book Transition from German style master and apprentice system to Anglo-Saxon course system Desire for more guidance and structure, but low acceptance of compulsory courses

23. 23 PhD Courses at TU-Delft Week of research and modeling methods in location away from the faculty building (previously Best Practices Cycle) Mini-defense each month lasting an hour, presentation and statements for discussion Demand-driven seminars, on SPSS and infrastructures ‘Speed-dating’ every 2 months. Students address questions to each other of whatever type they like Peer-groups of 4 students and 1 mentor, were they read all of each other’s work

24. Vermelding onderdeel organisatie 24 How to invest in the quality of TPM dissertations? A good-bye message at the occasion of our parting dean Hugo Priemus Bauke Steenhuisen, Mónica Altamirano, Michiel Houwing and Martijn Jonker

25. 25 Proposition 1 Your dissertation never satisfies all.

26. 26 Proposition 2 Independence has an equivocal effect on quality.

27. 27 Proposition 3 Spending your time incredibly inefficient is a key driver for good dissertations.

29. 29 Best Practices Cycle reformed Block 1: Research Methods Provide overview of research methods used in TPM and relate them to each other. Examination through writing paper in which students motivate the application of methods to their own research (proposal) Block 2: Application Focus Focus at level of research programs, body of knowledge. Examination left to supervisors.

30. 30 First Offering: Research Methods Course Last year, off-site Oud-Poelgeest Well-received by Ph.D. students Good selection of perspectives on research methods Design focus provided by Dan Frey, M.I.T. Helped create a community of Ph.D. students

31. 31 First offering: Methods and skills offered MethodsSkills Antropological (Enserink)Creativity (Appelman) Participatory (Mayer)Professionalism and ethics (Walker) Simulation (Slinger)Communication (Chatterjee) Experimentation (Lukszo)Conceptualization (Thissen) Archival (van Eeten) Design (Dan Frey, MIT) Interviews (Costa) Modelling (Heijne) Reasoning (Franssen)

33. 33 In development for block 2 Block 2: in development A senior researcher produces a list of the seminal papers in the field Groups of students discuss the seminal papers in the research field under guidance of a senior researcher Each student should produce a relevant paper that applies the discussed material to its own research thesis.

34. 34 Other Educational Programs Research Schools (such as TRAIL and NIG) play a role in our PhD education program We want to work this in, and increase awareness of PhD for complementary educational programs On Demand Seminars are an opportunity for PhDs to “self organize” on topics of interest guided by internal or external lecturers

35. 35 Design-Relevant PhD’s Design is an emerging issue for our PhD education. Last year Dan Frey (visiting, MIT) chaired the session on methods He served as a focal point for PhD’s to discuss the design relevance of their planned research better understand expectations for design-related PhD’s Incorporate similar content in 2008

36. 36 In conclusion Issues for PhDs are very different in the Netherlands: 1.Challenge or joy to work independently and make more choices 2.Challenge or joy to have a book published and spent 4 years on that 3.Relationship with supervisor and time spent on supervision matters 4.Desire for some supporting courses, but no wish for compulsory courses and tests
