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….

Functions

• 30% research and development

• 30% design and construction

• 15% coordination, management

• 10% production

• 10% advisory, policy making

• 5% miscellaneous

100% about 1,5 years after graduation

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
