1.14

Health & Safety, University Emergency Services

Like the staff of TU Delft, students are entitled to a safe and healthy work-place/study space. This also entails the obligation to act in the interests of your own safety and that of others. The Netherlands has working conditions legislation (‘ARBO legislation’) in place governing safety standards and rules of conduct.



TU Delft also has specifi c environmental, health & safety rules.

Basic rulesStudents may not enter technical areas. Performance of actions and experiments involving an element of risk are only permitted on the instruction of and with permission of the supervisor. Anyone who suspects that he or she may be exposed to risk in the performance of an assignment may refuse that assign-ment and contact the Health & Safety Adviser concerning the matter.

Undesirable behaviour Aggression, sexual intimidation, threats, pestering and discrimination are consid-ered undesirable behaviour and are not tolerated. Undesirable behaviour can be reported to the Executive Board. You can also contact your faculty’s confi dential adviser, who can handle complaints discretely.

Smoking prohibitedTU Delft is a non-smoking institution. Smoking is not permitted anywhere except in the smoking areas and locations where smoking is temporarily permitted. Vio-lation of the non-smoking rule is considered undesirable behaviour. Anyone who is being disturbed by smoking can report it to the Health & Safety Adviser or the confi dential adviser.

Computer workIntensive computer work can lead to neck and upper body problems. These con-ditions are commonly referred to as ‘RSI.’ The chance of RSI is increased when working under pressure, in situations such as completing a thesis. Advanced RSI is very diffi cult to cure and should be avoided at all costs. Make sure your work-ing posture is always correct and take short work breaks at regular intervals. One useful tool to help you do this is the ‘Workpace’ programme.The Health & Safety Adviser can help you and evaluate your workspace.

Emergencies and University Emergency ServicesTU Delft has a University Emergency Services organisation. The members of the University Emergency Services organisation are known to the staff. They per-form fi rst aid and act in the event of an emergency Any time you are injured, always seek treatment. Always report any accidents or near-accidents to Univer-sity Emergency Services.In the event of fi re, a work-related accident or a dangerous situation, follow these rules:• A ‘slow whoop’ siren over the public address system indicates that an alarm

has been sounded.



Follow the instructions immediately.• Get yourself to safety and warn others.• In the event of fi re, activate a fi re alarm.• In the event of an emergency, dial the emergency number (112) on a land

line and answer the questions.• Follow the instructions of University Emergency Services personnel.

For more information, see www.tudelft.nl and follow the links to ‘Staff,’ ‘A-Z index.’

VSSD - Delft Student Union

The VSSD (Vereniging voor Studie en Studentbelangen) is the Delft Stu-dent Union, and as its name suggests its purpose is to represent the interests of the students of Delft. The roots of today’s VSSD go back to 1887 (see ‘history’). The union is run by and for students.Over the years, the VSSD has developed a number of services supported by the personnel, such as publishing and book sales.

The VSSD is managed by the Delft Student Council.This council of 13 learned students meets once every six weeks to discuss the present and future policy of the VSSD.

Accommodation

TU Delft has a contract with accommodation organisation DUWO for the housing of foreign students and guests. The contracts with the students/guests or for-eign students are fi xed-term contracts with the option of extension. Applications for housing will be granted on a ‘fi rst come fi rst served’ basis.

The ‘consent’ system is fairly widely in effect in Delft student residences. This means that you will have to ‘interview’ with the residents of the house.Finding housing in Delft is diffi cult, and fi nding cheap housing is even harder, so start looking as early as possible!

1.17

Medical Care

The student healthcare organisation Stichting Studentengezondheidszorg (SGZ) provides both medical and psychotherapeutic healthcare for students.Because the SGZ principally provides preventative help, we recommend you have your own GP who can visit you if you are ill.

2.1.5

Academic Counsellors

The Student Service Desk staff and the academic counsellors are there to help you fi nd answers to many questions. This may vary from providing standard information about the degree programme to arranging help with private matters that may affect your studies.

Studying obviously does not always come easily. For example: • You may want to study, but can’t get started; you can’t concentrate.• After your initial enthusiasm, you may start to lose interest in your

programme.• You are overly concerned with the enormous (in your perception)

consequences of failing to do well in your programme.• You suffer from dyslexia, RSI or some other condition.• You are homesick.• You need some kind of help concerning a quite simple question.

The Academic Counsellor is the fi rst person to consult about such study-related questions. In some cases, students have personal problems that they would like to discuss, particularly if the problems are affecting their studies. If your prob-lems seem very serious, the Academic Counsellor can refer you to other profes-sionals, including the student psychologist. Finally, the Academic Counsellor can help you fi nd solutions that can minimise any delays in your studies.

The Academic Counsellors at the Faculty of EEMCS are:Mrs. J.M.A. Kooijman, MSc; Mrs. G. Rijnbeek, MSc; E-mail: [email protected] information is available on the following website: http://studenten.tudelft.nl/en/eemcs/eemcs-academic-counsellors/Please contact the Faculty Service Desk, which is located in the main hall oppo-site the elevators, to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Rijnbeek or Mrs. Kooij-man: Tel: +31 (0)15 27 89803; E-mail: [email protected].

Teaching Formats and Attendance

Study units can have the following formats:• LectureA lecture held by a professor or other staff member for a (large) group of stu-dents



• InstructionWorking in small groups, students complete exercises and solve problems by applying the course material. It is essential for students to participate actively and prepare by studying the course material.• TutorialsA staff member discusses a number of typical exercises. Each student works individually and tries to complete the exercises in advance.• Guided self-studyStudents work independently on a subject, without lectures, instruction or tuto-rials. A staff member is available for guidance.• ProjectStudents work either in groups or individually on a scientifi c or technical prob-lem. The objective is to apply their knowledge to solving a complex problem within a restricted time.• Problem-oriented educationStudents work in a group on a complex problem without the necessary prior knowledge. It may be necessary to collect information from several disciplines. The students acquire new knowledge during the learning process.• Laboratory workStudents perform experimental work in a laboratory guided by an assistant.• ResearchStudents perform experimental or theoretical work on a new subject within one of the research groups.• AttendanceDuring teaching periods, students are expected to attend the lectures and tutori-als. Attendance at the laboratory practicals is mandatory. Given the intensity of the MSc programme, we strongly advise against taking a leave of absence dur-ing these teaching periods, as such absences can result in missing essential lec-tures. The faculty is not responsible for delays in study progress resulting from such actions, and they will not take remedial action.

Assessment and ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)

AssessmentMarks for written examinations will be posted as soon as possible, but always within twenty working days after the examination. The results are posted on your personal Blackboard page. If you are a registered member, you can obtain an overview of all your marks to date on Blackboard. In case of doubt, please consult the Service Desk. Marks for individual exam units are valid for ten years. Please note, however, that the completion of some course components (e.g.



quizzes, tests, interim examinations, home-work, exercises) may remain valid for only a very limited time!

ECTSThe European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme. These objectives are preferably specifi ed in terms of learning out-comes and competences to be acquired. The key features of EC are as follows:The workload for a full-time student is 60 credits for one academic year. The student workload for a full-time degree programme in the Netherlands amounts to 1680 hours per year; one credit therefore represents 28 working hours.The student workload in EC includes time spent in lectures, seminars, on self-study, examination preparation, examinations and other related activities.Credits in EC are allocated to all study units within a study programme (e.g. courses, internships, thesis work); they refl ect the quantity of work each compo-nent requires in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of study within a given programme.Credits in EC can be obtained only after the required work has been completed and the achieved learning outcomes have been assessed.

Marking scale and marksStudent performance is expressed in terms of ECTS marks. The ECTS marking scale ranks students on a statistical basis (see also Table). The Dutch marking system ranges from 1 (nil) to 10 (excellent). Marks of 6 or higher are considered ‘passing’, while marks of 5,5 or lower are considered ‘failing’. In the case of prac-tical work, marks are sometimes replaced by verbal descriptions.

Programme Evaluation

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science aims to improve the courses it offers. We therefore ask your opinion on the pro-gramme in two ways. Firstly, the student associations and the faculty organise ‘lecture response meetings’ with groups of students to discuss courses of the current semester. In some cases, these meetings also include the instructors who are involved, as well as the appropriate Director of Studies. The results are used to improve the quality of the courses. Secondly, the faculty asks students to complete questionnaires. These questionnaires contain standard questions, and the results are published as statistics. We urge you to participate in these evaluation activities, as the results play an important role in the improvement of our programmes.

2.1.12

Service Desk

The Service Desk is the primary point of contact for students, staff members and visitors. You are welcome here for questions or support on FMRE (Facility Management and Real Estate), ICT (Information and Communications Technol-ogy) and E&SA (Education and & Student Affairs).

2.1.13

Harassment

Harassment is inappropriate behaviour (e.g. teasing, mocking, gossiping, bully-ing, sexual or racial intimidation, violence and discrimination). The key compo-nent of such behaviour is intimidation (whether physical or psycho-logical) that creates an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse. If you are confronted with any kind of unwanted behaviour, please immediately consult our harassment offi cer, Mrs. Marion de Vlieger, tel. +31 (0)15 27 86180.The harassment offi cer will work with you to decide how to proceed. Such situa-tions are obviously handled in strict confi dence. Additional information is avail-able on the following website: www.tudelft.nl/ongewenstgedrag or www.confi dentialadvisor.tudelft.nl



2.1.14

Student Societies

The faculty has two student societies, which primarily organise social events such as excursions. The societies also monitor the quality and content of the programmes. To experience faculty life to the full, join the Electrotechnische Ver-eeninging (ETV) or Christiaan Huygens (CH).Additional information is available on the following website: • ETV: http://www.etv.tudelft.nl• CH: http://www.ch.tudelft.nl

University and Faculty Student CouncilsThere is a University Student Council and a Faculty Student Council (FSR). Mem-bers of both councils are elected each year. Members of the University Student Council are elected from the entire student body, and candidates for the Faculty Student Council are part of a degree programme offered by the faculty. These councils have some formal rights, including the right of approval for the pro-gramme’s curricula. Ask your student society for details.

Regulations (IR).• The Rules and Regulations for the Board of Examiners (RRE).• The programme-related part of the Student Charter.

These regulations are published annually on the Student portal > EEMCS > Regulations If you have any queries, please contact the Service Desk (Tel: +31 (0)15 2789803, E-mail: [email protected]), your Director of Studies or your academic counsellor.

2.1.24

Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) pursues an active policy against academic misconduct, failure to con-tribute to group assignments, copying from the Internet and plagiarism.

The EEMCS Faculty’s Academic Integrity procedureAll aspects of academic misconduct are treated under the faculty’s Academic Integrity procedures. Cases of academic misconduct (including suspected cases) are always reported to the Board of Examiners. More information about the sub-sequent action is available on the Student portal EEMCS.

PenaltiesIf it is proven that a student has breached the code of conduct, the Board of Examiners can decide to exclude him or her from some or all examinations and degree audits at TU Delft for a maximum of one year.

The various possible rulings are listed below, by way of example:If the case of academic misconduct or plagiarism against the student is proven, a penalty will be imposed: from a minimum of exclusion from the course in question for the duration of one academic year (the student is therefore given a



second chance) up to a maximum of a one-year exclusion from all courses at TU Delft.

No academic misconduct can be proven against the student but the suspicion remains. In such cases, the matter is included in the student’s fi le by the aca-demic counsellors as a means of establishing any repeat offences.

The student is found not to have committed academic misconduct and the case is closed. Nothing is included in the student’s fi le.

The student receives a letter containing the ruling and the lecturer receives a copy of the Board’s decision.

Reporting Academic MisconductThe Board of Examiners reports all cases of academic misconduct to the aca-demic counsellors and archives this information in a database of academic mis-conduct to give the faculty a good impression of the numbers involved and the effectiveness of the measures taken.

2.1.25

Cultural Aspects

ACADEMIC ATTITUDEIn the Netherlands, the objective of higher education is to produce graduates who are critical, independent thinkers. This is refl ected in both the curriculum and the way in which knowledge and skills are transferred to students. To pro-mote an autonomous attitude, the academic curriculum focuses largely on ana-lysing and problem solving in groups, and on the preparation of papers. Rela-tively little attention is paid to the simple reproduction of information. Students are expected to know where to fi nd the information they need and to make criti-cal use of it. The university is no longer the ivory tower it once was. There are now many links between university research and society. Scientifi c research is becoming increasingly focused on the needs of society. This is also refl ected in the academic programmes; students carry out practical work assignments as part of their studies, and they receive practical, on-the-job training at compa-nies. Many university programmes aim to develop creative thinking and prob-lem-solving skills in students from the start, and this is especially true of engi-neering programmes.In general, a Master’s degree programme requires students to be independent learners and use their own initiative. You will do much of your learning alone. Lectures are alternated with group work; the average group meets for two hours each week. Lecturers assemble material into readers, which form the backbone



of most courses. In addition, however, you will need to fi nd material in libraries. You are expected to use your own initiative if any problems arise, whether they involve the organisation of the programme, the subject matter or a specifi c lec-turer. You should talk with someone about the problem; you can always turn to your coordinator or the academic counsellors, who will listen and do their best to help.

General

3.1.1

Study load and duration

Each master’s degree programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and starts annually in September. It is also possible to start the Master’s degree pro-gramme in the second semester, but students are advised that there might be dependencies on fi rst semester courses. This could limit the choice of courses to be followed by students who start the master’s’ programme in the second semester.

3.1.2

Programme structure

Each master’s degree programme comprises the following components:a. The Master Kick-Off (EWI4000), which provides an introduction to the Mas-

ter’s programme and prepares students to work in a multicultural environ-ment. The Master Kick-off is a compulsory off-campus event comprising of social activities, lectures, an interdisciplinary project and a workshop on cul-tural differences.

b. Core courses, which provide the basic knowledge required for all students in the master’s degree programme or in one of its tracks. Core courses are pre-scribed by each master’s degree programme.

c. Specialisation courses, which provide domain specifi c knowledge. d. (Free) elective courses, which provide opportunities for students to broaden

their knowledge, gain work or research experience.e. A thesis project that serves as fi nal assessment of the student.

Each semester the dean issues lists of the core and specialisation courses offered in the faculty. The lists with these courses are published in the digital study guide.

3.1.3

The thesis project

1. The thesis project is the last study unit of the programme and serves to prove that the student acquired the academic competencies of a Master of Science. The project involves a research or design task with suffi cient aca-demic level. The project may be executed within a research programme at


General 3

Delft University of Technology, or in a suitable research institute or company. The project must be executed with a systematic approach and should include all phases of a research or design project: analysis, modelling, imple-mentation/construction and validation/evaluation. The student executes the thesis project independently, with guidance of one or more thesis supervi-sors, at least one of them from the scientifi c staff of Delft University of Tech-nology.

2 Students must pass the Master’s degree course work as stated in their indi-vidual exam programme (IEP) to within 12 EC before embarking on the the-sis project and have to obtain a Thesis Entrance Permit (TEP). The process is described in the EEMCS Graduation Policy (MSc).

3 The thesis project and resultant thesis report should comprise original work carried out by the student as part of the master’s programme.

4 With regard to the thesis project, the thesis supervisor may impose addi-tional conditions for starting the thesis project.

5 Students can present and defend their thesis work only after they have fi n-ished all courses as stated in their approved IEP.

3.1.4

Individual exam programme (IEP)

1 Students draw up their individual exam programme (IEP) according to the Programme structure, in consultation with the master coordinator and the prospective thesis advisor.

2 Students must submit their IEP for approval by the board of examiners before the start of the fourth quarter of the fi rst year.

3 If the contents of a compulsory course corresponds to the course contents of an education course(s) followed in a prior study programme, a student can apply for exemption from the compulsory course. It must be replaced by a specialisation course, with at least the same number of credits (EC’s).

3.1.5

Examination requirements

From Rules and Guidelines of the Board of Examiners (art. 7.12 W.H.W.), Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science: The student meets the requirements for the degree audit once the following have been met: 1. a. a results has been earned for all subjects: a mark, a pass (v) or an

exemption (vr): b. none of the marks may be lower than 6.0


General 3

2. The method of assessment will be transparent so that the student can ascer-tain how the result was reached.

3. In special cases the Board of Examiners may deviate from the provisions of subsection 1. It will stipulate additional requirements if necessary.

3.1.6

Language

Courses are taught and examinations and fi nal examinations take place in Eng-lish.

The dean can give permission for classes to be taught in Dutch if the particular nature of the subject, the organisation, the quality of the education or the origin of the students gives cause for this.

Should a student request permission to complete one or more parts of the examination or the fi nal examination in a language other than English, this will be subject to the stipulations of the board of examiners in this regard, as laid downed in the Rules and Guidelines of the board of examiners.

3.1.7

Composition of the study programme and the fi nal examination

The composition of the study programme and the relevant transitional regula-tions are laid down in the Implementation Regulations.

The Master’s fi nal examination forms part of the programme. The programme has a total study load of 120 credits.

It is not permitted for any course in the study programme to have been part of the Bachelor’s degree programme on the basis of which the student was admit-ted to the programme. If a course in the study programme was already com-pleted in the aforementioned Bachelor’s degree programme, the board of exam-iners will designate an alternative course in its place.


General 3

3.1.8

Examinations

Number, times and frequency of examinationsThere are two opportunities in each academic year for sitting interim examina-tions:• the fi rst opportunity is immediately after the teaching period for the course

to which the interim exam in question relates,• the second opportunity is at the end of the subsequent teaching period

during the same academic year, or else during the resit period in August.

The frequency of interim examinations is laid down in the Implementation Regu-lations. A timetable of all the opportunities for sitting written interim examina-tions is drawn up on an annual basis and distributed before the start of each semester.

If absolutely necessary, changes can be made to this interim examinations’ time-table but only with the approval of the board of examiners and if the changes are communicated to students through the offi cial means of communication at least 4 weeks in advance. In case of force majeure, deviation from this period is allowed, only by decision of the Board of Examiners.

If there is no indication as to the number of times a particular interim examina-tion can be taken in any one academic year because it relates to a course not taught by the programme itself, the relevant stipulations in the Teaching and Examination Regulations of the relevant programme will apply. The board of examiners reserves the right to make decisions that deviate from the norm regarding this matter.

Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1, there will be at least one chance in a year to sit examinations relating to courses not taught in a given academic year.

In exceptional cases, the board of examiners may permit a deviation from the standard number of times that certain examinations can be taken, as long as the deviation is in favour of the student.

Sequence of examinationsThe sequence in which students are required to sit interim examinations and participate in practicals is laid down in the Implementation Regulations.In exceptional circumstances, the dean may permit a student to take part in one or more examinations and/or practicals, prior to passing the Bachelor’s audit


General 3

and/or, if applicable, prior to completing the transition programme. This permis-sion is valid for a maximum of one calendar year.

The order of interim examinationsIf there is a specifi c order in which the interim examinations are to be taken, this shall be published in the digital study guide.

The form of interim examinationsThe form of the interim examinations is specifi ed in the study guide before the start of the concerned education period.

Validity of interim examinationsThe result of an interim examination is valid for an unlimited period. However, in cases where the interim examination result dates from over six years ago, the board of examiners may impose an additional or substitute examination.

The form of examination and method of assessment1 The interim examinations are set as described in the Implementation Regu-

lations. Practical skills are tested during the hours allocated for practical training.

2 If there is no indication as to the way an examination is to be set because it relates to a course not taught by the programme itself, the relevant stipula-tions in the Teaching and Examination Regulations or the manual of the rel-evant programme will apply.

3 The board of examiners may, if it so wishes, deviate from the provisions of subsections 1 and 2, in favour of the student.

Oral examinations1 Only one student at a time will sit an oral examination, unless the examiner

in question specifi es otherwise.2 Preferably, an oral exam will take place with two examiners and anyhow

when it is requested by a student. A request to this end has to be submitted to the lecturer at least 7 days before the exam.

3 Oral examinations will be held in public, unless determined otherwise by either the board of examiners or the individual examiner or unless the stu-dent has formally objected to the public nature of the examination.

4 Prior to an oral examination, the examiner must ask the student to provide proof of identity.


General 3

Determining and announcing the results1 The examiner is required to determine the result of an oral examination as

soon as it is fi nished and to supply the student with a written statement of the result.

2 In the case of written examinations, the examiner is required to deter-mine the result as soon as possible after the examination but within 15 working days at most. The examiner forwards the necessary details to the student administration. Taking due account of the student’s right to privacy, the stu-dent administration then ensures that the results are registered and pub-lished within 20 working days of the examination date. If the examiner is not able to meet these requirements due to exceptional circumstances, he or she must inform the board of examiners, stating the reasons for the delay. The student administration will then pass this information on to the stu-dents.

3 Regarding any examinations that are not taken orally or in writing, the board of examiners shall determine beforehand precisely how and within which period of time the student will be notifi ed of the results.

4 When receiving the result of an examination, the student will be made aware of his or her right to inspect the results as referred to in Article 15, as well as the opportunity to lodge an appeal with the Examination Appeals Board.

The right to inspect the results1 For a period of at least 20 working days after notifi cation of the results of

any written examination, the student has the right to inspect his or her marked work. On request students will be supplied with a copy of the marked work.

2 During the period referred to in subsection 1, all interested individuals may acquaint themselves with the questions and assignments set in the examina-tion, as well as with the criteria used for marking.

3 The board of examiners may determine that the right to inspection or perusal referred to in subsections 1 and 2 will take place at a location speci-fi ed beforehand and at no less than two specifi c times, also decided on beforehand. If the student can prove that he/she is or was unable to be present at the location at the set time due to circum-stances beyond his or her control, then another opportunity will be provided, if possible within the period stated in subsection 1. The loca-tion and times mentioned in the fi rst sentence will be announced well in advance.


General 3

Discussing the examination results1 As soon as possible after the results of an oral examination have been

announced, an opportunity can be arranged to discuss the results, either at the student’s request or at the instigation of the examiner. At this meeting, the reasons behind the marks awarded will be explained.

2 For a period of 20 working days after the results have been announced, stu-dents who have taken a written examination may submit a request to dis-cuss the results with the relevant examiner. This discussion will take place within a reasonable time span and at a place and time determined by the examiner.

3 In cases where a collective discussion is organised by or on the instructions of the board of examiners, a student may only submit a request, as described in the preceding subsection, if he/she was present at the collective discussion and if he/she provides a good reason for the request or if, due to circumstances beyond his/her control, he/she was unable to attend the col-lective discussion.

4 The provisions of subsection 3 are similarly applicable if either the board of examiners or the examiner fi rst gives the student the opportunity to com-pare his/her answers with model answers.

5 The board of examiners may permit departures from the provisions of sub-sections 2 and 3.

Adaptations to help students with a disabilityStudents who have a physical or sensory disability are entitled to adaptations in teaching, examinations and practicals, on written request. These changes will be geared as much as possible to a student’s individual needs, but they must not affect the quality or the degree of diffi culty of a course or an examination pro-gramme. The facilities provided to this end may involve adapting the form or duration of examinations and/or practicals to the student’s individual situation or making practical aids available.This request should be accompanied by a recent medical certifi cate from a doc-tor or a psychologist. If there is evidence of dyslexia, the request should be accompanied by a document issued by a recognised dyslexia-testing bureau (i.e. registered with BIG, NIB, or NVO). If possible, this certifi cate should also esti-mate the extent to which the disability forms an obstacle to study progress.Requests for the adaptation of teaching facilities will be decided upon by the dean or by the director of studies acting on the dean’s behalf. The board of examiners will decided on requests for adaptations to examinations.


General 3

Exemption from examinations or practicalsAfter having been advised by the relevant examiner, the board of examiners may decide to exempt students from an examination or practical on the grounds of:a an interim examination involving a unit of study that, in terms of content

and study load, was equivalent to a comparable university course in the Netherlands or beyond, or

b an examination, fi nal examination or practical completed within the Dutch higher education system or

c elsewhere which, as regards content and study load, corresponds with the examination or practical for which exemption is sought, or

d proof of knowledge and/or skills acquired outside the higher education sys-tem.

If the relevant examiner has made a fully motivated proposal to this effect, the board of examiners may grant exemption from an interim examination.

Entry requirements for courses

If there are entry requirements for a course these are specifi ed in the digital study guide before the start of the education period in which this course is offered.

3.3

Contravention, changes and implementation

3.3.1

Contravening the regulations

If the (digital) study guide and/or any other regulations relating to the study programme and/or the examination programme prove to contravene the Teach-ing and Examination Regulations and the accompanying Implementation Regula-tions, precedence will be given to the provisions of these Teaching and Examina-tion Regulations in combination with the Implementation Regulations.


General 3

3.3.2

Changes to the regulations

Any changes made to these regulations will be made by special resolution of the dean.No changes made will affect the current academic year unless it is reason-able to suppose that the interests of students will not be adversely affected.No change made to these regulations may negatively affect any previous deci-sions concerning a student that are made by the board of examiners on the basis of these regulations.

3.3.3

Transitional regulations

If the composition of the study programme undergoes intrinsic changes or if these regulations are amended, the dean will draw up transitional regulations that will be incorporated into the Implementation Regulations.

Such transitional regulations are required to include:a a provision concerning the exemptions that can be given on the basis of

interim examinations already passed;b a provision specifying the period of validity of the transitional regulations.

If a course is removed from the study programme, four opportunities to sit an examination in this course will be granted after the last classes have been taught: an examination in the last teaching period of the course , a resit in the same academic year, and two resits in the subsequent academic year.

For one additional subsequent academic year, students who were registered as Pre-Master’s students on 31 August 2012, will have the opportunity to undertake Master’s subjects. After 1 September 2013, students must have passed the Bachelor’s degree, on which his/her admission was based, and/or completed the transition programme that he/she had to complete in addition to the Master’s degree course, prior to studying further on this degree programme

6.2

Adjusted Programmes

6.2.1


Students having obtained a relevant bachelor’s degree from a Dutch institute of professional education can, dependent on the programme, gain access to the Master’s degree programme via bridging programmes. Relevancy is determined by the Board of Examiners. The bridging programmes consist of a minimum of 30 EC in the fi eld of computer science and mathematics.

A bridging programme consists of two parts: a generic part (22 EC) and a track specifi c part (at least 8 EC).

The generic part consist of the following courses:

WI1708TH1 Analyse 1 3 EC

WI1708TH2 Analyse 2 3 EC

WI1807TH1 Lineaire algebra 1 3 EC

WI1807TH2 Lineaire algebra 2 3 EC

TI1305 Redeneren & Logica 5 EC

TI2305 Algoritmiek 5 EC

The track specifi c part is composed in consultation with the master coordinator of the track and should be submitted for approval to the Board of Examiners before start of the programme. For the different tracks at least the following courses will be incorporated:

BI TW2215TI Kansrekening en Statistiek 5 EC

IA TI2505 Informatie- en data-modellering 5 EC

MKE TW2215TI Kansrekening en Statistiek 5 EC

ST TI2605 Concepten van programmeertalen 5 EC

If a bridging programme has a study load greater than 30 EC, the courses exceeding 30 EC may be included in the master’s programme as homologation, with a maximum of 10 EC.

Students will gain access to the Master’s degree programme in Computer sci-ence when they have earned a ‘V’ (passed) or a mark greater than or equal to 6 for the courses of the bridging programme.



Students who have started a bridging programme for the master’s programme Computer Science or Media and Knowledge Engineering prior to 2011 will, upon completion, gain access to the tracks Information Architecture and Software Technology or Bioinformatics and Media and Knowledge Engineering, respec-tively.

All bridging programmes are valid for two years. If a bridging programme has not been completed within two years, students have re-submit a bridging pro-gramme for approval by the Board of Examiners according to the rules at that time, with the understanding that credits earned for units of study that are iden-tical in the old and the new bridging programme remain valid.

6.3

Programme transitions

6.3.1

Transition from the master’s programme Media & Knowledge Engineering

• When students with approved IEP’s of the master’s programme Media & Knowledge Engineering enrol in the master’s programme Computer Science, their IEP’s are converted to IEP’s for the track MKE at the student’s request.

• This rule is valid until 31 December 2013.

6.3.2

Course substitution list

The table below lists valid course substitutions. Substitutions according to this list do not require the approval of the Board of Examination, while all other sub-stitutions do. Substitutions are track specifi c.

[There are currently no valid course substitutions.]



6.4

Exit Qualifi cations of the Master’s programme Computer Science

The exit qualifi cations for the master Computer Science are:

The master CS has a general knowledge of computer science and the relevant issues of mathematics and computer engineering, and has in-depth knowledge on a particular domain of computer science and the associated area of applica-tion and has shown to be able to apply and extend this knowledge by means of a Master’s thesis.

7.2.1


Students with a bachelor’s degree (HBO diploma) from a Dutch institute of pro-fessional education in Electrical Engineering can gain access to the Master’s degree programmes in Electrical Engineering via a bridging class. The bridging programme consists of 35-41 EC in the fi eld of calculus, mathematical modelling and electrical engineering; the precise composition depends on the track or the specialisation that the student intends to follow.



All students, irrespective of the track that will be chosen, must add the following study units to their individual bridging programme:






ET8040 Signaaltransformaties HBO 5 EC

EE3322/ ET8041 EM-golven 4 EC

SC2531EE Dynamic Systems 3 EC

SC3512EE Regelsystemen 3 EC


Students who opt for the track Telecommunications must extend this programme with the following study units:

ET2601 Energieomzettingen 4 EC

ET2611 Elektriciteitsvoorzieningen 2 EC

There are no additional requirements for students who opt for the track in Sig-nals and Systems, but in consultation with the master coordinator a personalised bridging programme can be designed, depending on the chosen profi le and the background of the student. These courses will be considered ‘homologation courses’ in the free elective space.

Students will gain access to the Master’s degree programme if they have their HBO diploma and if they earned a mark greater than or equal to 6.0 for a set of study units that add up to at least 30 EC and include at least, WI1708TH1, WI1708TH2, WI1708TH3, WI1807TH1 WI1807TH2 and IN4309. The study units



of the bridging programme that are not included in this set of 30 EC must form part of the MSc programme and will be considered ‘homologation courses’ in the free elective space.

This bridging programme is valid for two years. If it has not been completed within two years, students have to transfer to the new bridging programme, with the understanding that credits earned for units of study that are identical in the old and the new bridging programme remain valid.

What is the 3TU.Federation?

The three leading universities of technology in the Netherlands - Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Twente - have joined forces in the 3TU.Federation (www.3tu.nl). This federation maximises innovation by combining and concentrating the strengths of all three universities in research, education and knowledge transfer.Within the framework of this cooperation, fi ve joint MSc programmes have been developed that address key issues in engineering and society. These fi ve MSc programmes are:• Construction Management and Engineering• Embedded Systems• Science Education and Communication• Sustainable Energy Technology• Systems and Control

The main advantages for studentsThe new 3TU MSc programmes have been developed as exclusive programmes of outstanding academic quality that enable you to study at three of the top uni-versities in the Netherlands. These programmes focus on areas of innovation developed with state-of-the-art engineering expertise. You will have the opportunity to acquire qualifi cations and competences that are in high demand. When you graduate you will have obtained an outstanding qualifi cation profi le. The 3TU masters combine excellent subject-based competences, research skills, the capacity for independent analysis and synthesis and an advanced capability to apply knowledge in practice.The core programmes of the 3TU masters are largely identical and you can take classes at any of the three locations. The admission procedures, teaching and examination regulations and academic calendars at all three universities have been carefully matched. You benefi t from the special strengths of the three universities by choosing a specialisation at any of the three locations. You are registered at the loca-tion of your choice, but you are automatically co-registered at the other two locations to ensure access to the facilities of all three.

The Master of Science programme in Embedded Systems

8.2.1

Composition of the Master’s degree programme in

The programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and starts each year in September. It is also possible to start the Master’s degree programme in the second semester. In that case, however, students might experience some prob-lems due to dependencies between some of the courses taught in the fi rst semester and some of the courses in the second semester. Nevertheless, the courses in the master programme will be scheduled in such a way that it is pos-sible to compose an individual exam programme consisting of a limited choice of courses in which the successor relation-ships are almost not violated. Students should realize, however, that starting in the second semester could take some extra effort.

Each year the dean issues a list of courses that belong to the list of specialisa-tion courses. This list is published in the digital study guide and in the Master’s Study Guide.

Students must submit their individual exam programme for approval by the board of examiners before the start of the fourth quarter of the fi rst year.

The composition of the study programme is as follows:a. Core programme worth 25 credits,b. Specialisation subjects worth at least 15 credits, c. Homologation courses worth at most 20 credits,d. An optional internship worth at most 20 credits or a multi-disciplinary design

project worth 10 credits, but not both, e. A graduation work (40 EC), further, comprising preparation for the gradua-

tion project worth 10 credits, and the graduation project worth 30 credits.

Specialisation courses may also be selected from the list of specialisation courses of the Embedded Systems programmes of the TU/e (http://www.tue.nl/en/education/tue-graduate-school/masters-programs/embedded-systems/mas-ters-program/) or the UT (http://www.utwente.nl/master/ems/programme/)

Master Annotation Entrepreneurship

Introduction Are you a master’s student with ambitions to start up your own business? Are you on the threshold of doing so, do you want to keep your options open or do you just want to learn more about entrepreneurship? The annotation entrepre-neurship on master’s level is developed to help you gain more knowledge in and prepare yourself for entrepreneurship. The annotation is an entrepreneurial accent of your regular Master program.

Program MSc students who are interested in entrepreneurship can opt for the new mas-ter annotation ‘entrepreneurship’, which trains students to be entrepreneurs, through a combination of modules and a graduation project that partly focuses on marketing a service or product. Entrepreneurship can mean starting up your own business, but can also stand for entrepreneurship in a more general con-text, such as innovation at existing companies, take-overs, spin-outs, etc. Stu-dents, who complete the annotation successfully, receive an annotation with their degree.

For more information on the annotation ‘entrepreneurship’ check out our web-site www.dce.tudelft.nl or the MSc-coordinator: Dr. Linda Kamp, E-mail: [email protected]

NB The annotation ‘entrepreneurship’ is developed by the Delft Centre for Entre-preneurship. The TU Delft Centre for Entrepreneurship (DCE) stimulates stu-dents and researchers from the TU Delft to become entrepreneurs or engage in entrepreneurial activity.



9.6

TUD Design Challenge

What is the TUD Design Challenge? The TUD Design Challenge offers second year Master’s students a unique oppor-tunity to demonstrate how innovative and creative they are. Inspired by Stan-ford University’s ‘design school’ formula, student teams combine their entrepre-neurial, engineering and design skills to develop practical solutions for the real world innovation problems of our business partners. This is your chance to solve challenging innovation problems in a multi-disciplinary team of the most moti-vated and talented students from various faculties. You will receive on the job training from a senior coach, plus weekly feedback and support from our ‘client’ partners.

The TUD Design Challenge is a project course developed for second year Mas-ter’s students just before their thesis work. It is open to students from all facul-ties across Delft University of Technology. We are looking for students with a background in science, engineering, design or management. Project teams of four to fi ve students start every September and February. The projects last fi ve months, requiring roughly a halftime commitment. There is a strong drive towards innovation. Project assignments encompass: opportunity identifi cation and analysis, design iterations, testing and delivering the fi nal solution (perhaps as a prototype) with a business plan. The solution can take many forms, such as a tangible product, software tool or service con-cept.

Assignments The assignments vary every half year. We have drawn interest from large busi-nesses (like Océ Technologies, Siemens, Rabobank, Ahold, Philips, KLM, Micro-soft, Sun Microsystems, TNO ICT, Randstad, Dura Vermeer, Imtech and Ecofys) and from smaller companies pursuing interesting innovations. For more informa-tion please check out www.DesignChallenge.TUDelft.nl for current projects and/or the digital study guide.

Formal procedures

1. The Master’s Thesis Project is the fi nal part of the EEMCS master’s degree programmes and aims to show that the student has acquired the academic competences for the degree ‘Master of Science’.

2. The Master’s Thesis Project comprises 40 - 45 ECTS and should take a maxi-mum of nine months of work. In the programme Microelectronics explicit prototyping and fi eld testing the period may be longer and is the project extended to 60 ECTS, i.e. a year.

3. The student can only start with his Master’s Thesis Project when he/she has an approved IEP and has successfully completed all of the compulsory courses of the master programme. Only 12 EC of elective courses may still be open. In order to show that the student meets the criteria, he or she should hand in a TEP (Thesis Entrance Permit, ask at Service desk) to the thesis advisor before starting the master thesis assignment.

4. The Master’s Thesis Project consists of a research or design assignment. The Master’s Thesis Project will be assessed on basis of a written report, an oral presentation and defense. The assessment will be done by a thesis commit-tee.

5. The Board of Examiners appoints the thesis committee. The professor responsible for graduation proposes a thesis committee more than 3 months before defense.(See R&G. art.27.2) (Use form: “Application form Members of MSc Thesis Committee”)

6. At least 3 months before defense, the thesis committee is installed by the Board of Examiners. The thesis committee is nominated by the responsible professor in whose area the Master’s Thesis Project has taken place.


Graduation policy10

7. A thesis committee will be appointed by or on behalf of the Board of Exam-iners for the supervision and assessment of Master’s Thesis Project. This committee will consist of a core of three members: 1) the chair (a full pro-fessor or associate professor of the faculty), 2) a full professor, associate or assistant professor of the faculty, 3) a full professor, associate or assistant professor or an external expert. One of the core members must be from a different fi eld and is a full professor, associate or assistant professor of an university. There may be additional members from the ranks of researchers, PhD students and internal and external experts. The core members, appointed by the Board of Examiners, determine the thesis grade. (See also R&G art. 27.1)

8. Students can present and defend their fi nal thesis work only after they have fi nished all courses as stated in their approved IEP.

9. The defense consists of a public session. During this session the student will give a presentation on the Master’s Thesis Project and will be questioned by the thesis committee, after which the thesis committee determines the grade.

10. Thirty working days before the defense (See R&G art. 12.1), the student applies for the fi nal examination by the Board of Examiners by submitting the form “EEMCS MSc Final Examination” at the Service desk.

11. At least fi ve working days before the defense the student uploads a pdf of the fi nal version of the thesis report in the electronic TU Delft repository. (http://www.library.tudelft.nl/collecties/tu-delft-repository/)

12. The Board of Examiners assesses whether the student has completed all parts of his master programme and may enter the fi nal graduation cere-mony.

13. At the graduation ceremony the student receives the Master diploma and has to sign it.


Graduation policy10

10.4

Getting started

1. Ultimately three months before starting the actual thesis work, the student should decide upon a specialisation. To start, the student shows his IEP and TEP to the thesis advisor. In consultation with the thesis advisor, the student will select a thesis topic. In addition, a daily supervisor (tutor) or an advisor, from the company where the thesis research is conducted, may be assigned. The thesis topic should comply with the research area of the thesis advisor.

2. The Master’s Thesis Project may be done within a research programme of the university, or within another suitable context, e.g. a research institute or enterprise. Companies should be aware that the Master’s Thesis Project may require some freedom for academic work which may not directly contribute to the company’s own business process.

3. The thesis should have suffi cient academic depth. The project, being either a research or design project should be performed by following a systematic approach, and the assignment should cover all phases of a research/design project including an explicit modelling/implementation/building phase, and a validation/evaluation of the results.

4. Within the fi rst month after the start of the project, the student should write a short proposal with objectives and a planning of deliverables and mile-stones. (Use: “EEMCS Master’s Thesis Project Proposal Guidelines: Mile-stones, Deliverables and Phasing”). The thesis advisor assesses the proposal on feasibility and academic depth, and may suggest modifi cations.

5. The student should indicate in advance whether he is available fulltime. If not, he has to make provisions with the research group or company to do the assignment part time.

10.5

Guidance

1. The student should carry out the project autonomously under guidance of a thesis advisor. Each student carries out his or her own Master’s Thesis Proj-ect., even in case of a complex project carried out by a team of students.

2. The student and the thesis advisor (and the daily supervisor) meet on a two-weekly or three-weekly basis to discuss the progress. The student should provide an agenda and a written progress report for the meetings describing


Graduation policy10

the progress and the main discussion items. In between the meetings the student may ask the daily supervisor for technical assistance.

3. For the specifi ed milestones (Use: “EEMCS Master’s Thesis Project Proposal Guidelines: Milestones, Deliverables and Phasing”), the student submits a progress report (a preliminary chapter of the thesis report) and describes (or demonstrates) the intermediate results and fi ndings. The supervisors will give feedback on the results and will indicate whether the project is still on track. In all cases, the student is assumed to take initiative and to guard the progress of the project.

4. The student should participate in the colloquia of the chosen specialisation. Halfway through the project, the student should give a midterm presentation on the project e.g. at a colloquium, in presence of his advisors.

5. During the project, and in particular near the end, the student should start writing the thesis report and should hand in chapters for reviewing to the thesis advisor and daily supervisor. The thesis advisor should give feedback within reasonable time (within two weeks).

6. Forty working days before the planned defense, the student should hand in a fi nal version of the thesis report for approval by the thesis advisor.

7. Thirty working days before the planned defense the thesis advisor gives approval (“green light”) to the student. With the green light the student can apply for the fi nal examination. Use form: “EEMCS MSc Final examination”.

10.6

Thesis report

1. The thesis report documents the results of the Master’s Thesis Project (Use: “Guidelines for writing a report”). It contains an account of the work, the followed procedure, intermediate milestones and the decisions taken.

2. The thesis report must be written in English.

3. The thesis report has a title page which contains the title of the thesis, the date of the thesis defense, the name and student number, the chosen spe-cialisation, the master programme, the faculty EEMCS, and TU Delft.

4. The thesis report contains a preface that explains the topic of the thesis, the context (institute or company), the main fi ndings in a few lines and the


Graduation policy10

names of the members of the thesis committee. The preface may end with a few acknowledgements, and completed with name and date.

5. The thesis report contains an introduction chapter that introduces the main research themes and gives an overview of the report.

6. The thesis report contains a chapter with prior art that describes previous work and scientifi c publications relevant for the topic. This chapter reformu-lates the research questions in a form that complies with the state of the art in the fi eld.

7. The thesis report contains several chapters that describe the performed work.

8. The thesis report concludes with a concluding chapter with a discussion of the results, and recommendations and suggestions for future research.

9. The thesis report may contain a scientifi c paper about the work, often writ-ten together with the thesis advisor, added as an appendix.

10. The thesis report will be made public after the assessment by the thesis committee, unless the organisation in which the Master’s Thesis Project has taken place considers that its publication would harm its interests (e.g. pat-ents, knowledge, market fi gures). The organisation or the thesis advisor can submit a request concerning confi dentiality for some parts to the Board of Examiners. The members of the thesis committee, however, should have access to the full report.

At least fi ve working days before the defense the student uploads a pdf of the fi nal version of the thesis report in the electronic TU Delft repository. (http://www.library.tudelft.nl/collecties/tu-delft-repository/)

10.7

Defense

1. At the same moment of approval of the thesis report by the thesis advisor, the so called “green light”, a date for the defense is set (Use form: “EEMCS MSc Final examination” and count thirty working days for administration). The student will make a reservation for a room/lecture hall.

2. At least twenty working days before the date of the thesis defense the stu-dent will supply a digital or printed copy of the fi nal thesis report to the


Graduation policy10

members of the Thesis Committee. Exceptions can be made upon agree-ment with the thesis advisor.

3. Ultimately after ten working days the thesis committee sends her reaction and eventually her request for completion to the student and thesis advisor. The student has fi ve working days to incorporate the remarks into the report.

4. Ten working days before the defense the student sends a clear announce-ment of the thesis defense to the committee members, to the staff of the department of the chosen specialisation with the title of the thesis, the place of the defense, the date and time, the committee, and the abstract of his project (250 words). If the student desires, he or she may also invite family and friends.

5. Prior to the session, the student checks the room and the equipment (por-table, beamer). After the session the student takes care that the room is brought back in order.

6. The public session starts with a short introduction by the chair of the thesis committee, introducing the candidate, the topic of the project, the members of the thesis committee and the examination procedure.

7. The student gives a 30-40 minutes presentation on the project. This should cover all aspects and phases of the project, starting with a clear problem defi nition and ending with conclusions. The presentation should be on a level that addresses the colleague students, i.e. it is not intended as a lay-man’s presentation. After the presentation 10 minutes are reserved for ques-tions from the audience.

8. After the presentation and discussion, the thesis committee examines the candidate about the thesis. This will take a maximum of one hour and each committee member must have the opportunity to discuss the work in detail with the candidate.

After the examination, the committee withdraws to make their conclusion upon the grade.


Graduation policy10

10.8

Assessment

1. The thesis committee assesses the thesis and the defense on the following criteria:• Quality of work: novelty, volume, grasp, methodology, publishable (40%)• Personal performance: autonomy, planning, creativity, attitude (30%)• Quality of thesis report: clarity, organisation, argumentation (20%)• Oral presentation and defense: clarity, focus, relevance, discussion

(10%)

These criteria are published in the study guide and should be known to the stu-dent beforehand. (Use “Thesis evaluation form”).

2. The voting members of the thesis committee determine the fi nal grade. The grade should refl ect a weighted average of the four scores above, but need not to be an exact arithmetical mean. The fi nal mark starts from 5 up to and 10. Marks ending in .5 may also be used.

3. If the student shows excellence (is nominated for a 10) the chair of the the-sis committee should consult the chair of the Board of Examiners, at least fi ve working days in advance of the defense. The chair may advice to add an extra member to the thesis committee.

The motivation for the grade at each of the four criteria as listed above is sum-marized on a form (Use: “Thesis evaluation form”) and signed by the chair-man of the thesis committee. The candidate is given a short account of the assessment, either in private or in front of the audience.

10.9

Disputes

1. In case of disputes between the student and the daily supervisor or/and the thesis advisor, the student may consult the MSc coordinator. If this does not lead to a solution, disputes can be brought before the Board of Examiners.

2. The student may make an appeal against decisions of, and the treatment by the Thesis Committee, at the TUD’s Examinations Appeals Board, on the basis of article 7.60 of the WHW. However, there can be no discussion on the grade.


Graduation policy10

10.10

Summary of procedure

1. After the start of the MSc programme and before the start of the Master’s Thesis Project, the student should get acquainted with the different speciali-sations within the master programme.

2. Before the start of the Master’s Thesis Project, the student shows his IEP and TEP to the thesis advisor and selects a thesis topic.

3. One month after the start of the project, the student writes a short proposal for thesis research with objectives, milestones and deliverables. The thesis advisor checks the proposal at: feasibility in time, academic level, research question, research methodology, suitable to the student.

7. Thirty working days before the thesis defense, the student should get “green light” from the thesis advisor and sets the date for the defense.

8. Thirty working days before the thesis defense the student submits the exam-ination application. The Board of Examiners checks fulfi llment of all require-ments.

9. Twenty working days before the thesis defense the student sends the fi nal report to the members of the thesis committee. He also sends an invitation to all people involved.

10. Ten working days before the thesis defense the thesis committee sends her remarks to the student and the thesis advisor.

11. Ten working days before the thesis defense the student sends a clear announcement of the defense.


Graduation policy10

12. Five working days before the thesis defense the student has incorporated the remarks into the report.

13. At least fi ve working days before the defense the student uploads a pdf of the fi nal version of the thesis report in the electronic TU Delft repository.

14. At the defense the student gives a 40 minutes presentation and answers the questions of the thesis committee. The thesis committee determines the fi nal grade.

Thesis Project Evaluation FormThe table below shows the thesis evaluation categories and criteria. The main elements of evaluation are quality of work, performance during the Master’s Thesis Project, quality of thesis report and quality of oral presentation and defense. Weights are indicative to each of these categories and may be subjec-tively decided by the thesis committee. The fi nal grade can be arrived at by averaging out the partial grades allocated by each member of the thesis com-mittee.
