4 Preface Dear Designer, Welcome to the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Delft University of Technology, and a special welcome to the PDEng-programme in BioProduct Design. The programme recently started, in September 2007, and it is the first to combine Life Sciences and Technology with Design Methodology. Through this innovative combination of different fields you learn to design new products for the Food, Pharma and Fine Chemicals industry. Your course programme is to a certain extent tailor-made, which means that when choosing your profile you have the freedom to select courses depending on your interest and objectives. Please use this Handbook and the different websites to deliberately draw up your programme. Furthermore, you will find details about the programme, research groups, faculty members, practicalities and other useful information. During the year, two other important source of information are the university Blackboard site (blackboard.tudelft.nl) and the Electronic Studyguide (studyguide.tudelft.nl), which provide you with the most up-to-date information on courses offered by Delft University of Technology. The latest news about the university can be found on If anything is unclear or if you have other questions, do not hesitate to ask the Course Coordination Team, another faculty member or an advanced Designer. I m looking forward to your contribution in BioProduct Design and I wish you an interesting, fruitful and enjoyable time in Delft. Prof. Dr. Han de Winde Programme Director BioProduct Design

14 University Profile TU Delft Cultural Centre Mekelweg CD Delft Tel: +31 (0) Web site: Student ombudsman If you, as a student, have a complaint about TU Delft, the faculty or staff, you should first try to resolve the situation with your faculty s academic counsellor. If that doesn t work, visit the student ombudsman. The student ombudsman can help you to solve problems and make proposals aimed at preventing others from encountering similar circumstances. The ombudsman for TU Delft is W.J.M. Knippenberg. Aula TU Delft Mekelweg CC Delft Tel.: +31 (0) ombudsman@tudelft.nl Contact the ombudsman by first Health & Safety, University Emergency Services Like the staff of TU Delft, students are entitled to a safe and healthy workplace/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 specific environmental, health & safety rules. Basic rules Students 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 1 BioProduct Design

15 University Profile that assignment and contact the Health & Safety Adviser concerning the matter. Undesirable behaviour Aggression, sexual intimidation, threats, pestering and discrimination are considered undesirable behaviour and are not tolerated. Undesirable behaviour can be reported to the Executive Board. You can also contact your faculty s confidential advisor, who can handle complaints discretely. Smoking prohibited TU Delft is a non-smoking institution. Smoking is not permitted anywhere except in the smoking areas and locations where smoking is temporarily permitted. Violation 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 confidential adviser. Computer work Intensive computer work can lead to neck and upper body problems. These conditions 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 difficult to cure and should be avoided at all costs. Make sure your working 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 Services TU Delft has a University Emergency Services organisation. The members of the University Emergency Services organisation are known to the staff. They perform first aid and act in the event of an emergency Any time you are injured, always seek treatment. Always report any accidents or nearaccidents to University Emergency Services. In the event of fire, 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 fire, activate a fire alarm. In the event of an emergency, dial the emergency number (112) on a land line and answer the questions. 1 Study Guide 2009/2010

You can register as soon as your programme is approved or when a course is approved individually. For Advanced Courses you are advised to sign in as soon as possible and well in advance as places usually fill up quickly. As "PDEng trainee" always try to sign in for the reduced PhD-student fee. Examinations and exams Please note: Examinations are usually called tentamens in Dutch. Formally an examen in Dutch is the degree audit taking place at the end of a programme phase such as a Propaedeuse (end of first year), a Bachelor or 2 Study Guide 2009/2010

28 Information about the PDEng-programme in BioProduct Design a Master phase. These examens are formalities in the Dutch university system. There are no end-of-year examinations! Study progress administration You are responsible to keep track of your study results in your Excel Study File. You will discuss your study progress in regular meetings with the Course Coordinators. You need to check regularly that your file is up-todate and, when approaching the finalisation of your programme, that it is complete. Course results administration may differ: 1 For regular Master courses at TU Delft, just provide the lecturer with your name and study number and it should work out fine. If an assignment is part of the course, you have to work together with another PDEng-trainee, as your work is usually evaluated differently from the work of Master students. Sometimes also the coursecode is therefore different, you and the lecturer are responsible for the correct administration of this. 2 For special PDEng assignments etcetera: The teacher should complete a TU Delft grade sheet and send it to the coordinator. 3 For Advanced Courses the coordinator need a copy of the course certificate. For AC s with assignment we also need a grade sheet. 4 For all courses you take outside TU Delft: the coordinator needs an official letter of the lecturer stating the name of the course, your name, grade, study number and the amount of ECTS points. NB: Please note that you are responsible for providing the coordinators with all your grades in time for the diploma. Examination registration In order to take an exam, you need to register in advance. Since the registration may differ from one course to another, you need to check with the lecturer on how to register. TAS In TAS (Tentamen aanmeld system) you can find where and when an exam will take place. PDEng. trainees need to log in as demo, password demo, go to overview, mark the box limit selection to and enter course code. Credits, marking scheme and grades The weight of all modules at TU Delft is expressed in European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) points. One year of study comprises 60 credit points or 1680 hours of study in an academic year. This includes lecture hours, homework, projects, practical work etc. 2 BioProduct Design

29 Information about the PDEng-programme in BioProduct Design This means that there is no strict relation between lecture hours and credit points, but a general rule is that each module, which takes one lecture hour per week for the duration of one semester, earns you about 1 credit point. The scale used for grading is 1-10, i.e. each examination awards a maximum grade of 10. The passing mark is a 6 and a 5 or lower is considered a fail. In some instances you are not awarded a numerical grade, but you either pass ( voldoende ) or fail ( onvoldoende ).This system is quite common for practical work. A table converting the Dutch grading system into the European one has been proposed, but this has not yet been adopted at TU Delft. The table below shows an unofficial translation from Dutch grades into ECTS grades. Dutch Distribution ECTS Grading system percentage grade 8 <grade < 10 best 10 % A 7.5<grade < 8 next 25 % B 7 <grade <7.5 next 30 % C 6 <grade <7 next 25% D 5.5<grade <6 next 10% E grade < 5.5 Fail F or FX Graduation Ceremony The great day has arrived! You have fulfilled all obligations of your Designer Programme and you can participate in the graduation ceremony. You should make sure that your grades are available at least two weeks in advance. This means that you should plan your Final Presentation of your Design Project at least two weeks in advance of the ceremony. A check will be performed to ensure that you are entitled to graduate. The Graduation Ceremony is, in intself, merely a formality, but it marks an important milestone in your career and provides the opportunity for you to publicly congratulated by family, friends and academic staff - much deserved accolades after an intensive period of study! 2 Study Guide 2009/2010

The trainees take 60 EC per year which is a full time study load. The duration of the programme is 2 years. Preparing your individual programme Depending on your educational background and your envisaged development, you draw up your own programme together with the Course Director and one of the Course Coordinators. The programme is defined in discussion with the PDEng trainee, tailoring it to the trainee s background and interest, while controlling the balance between deepening and broadening coursework. The PDEng trainee makes a proposal after identifying interesting courses at and other websites (see paragraph 4.2). He or she needs to take into acount the scheduling of the courses (Blackboard.tudelft.nl) and the work balance (e.g. 30 ects per semester). Scheduling The academic year at Delft University of Technology is divided in 2 semesters, from September till January and from February till June. Each semester consists of 2 periods, in September starts period 1 and in February starts period 3. During these semesters courses are given. July and August are regarded as period 5, the period for re-sits, holidays and the Group Design Project. Please note that courses exclusively for PDEngtrainees or Advanced Courses may be scheduled in lecture-free weeks. 3.2 First year The first year consists of coursework and the Group Design Project. Advanced Coursework 43 EC The coursework is divided in three phases that are not necessarily separated in time. Due to its nature, phase 1 is in the first months of the programme: 3 BioProduct Design

37 Designer Programme Phase 1 Equalization This phase is to eliminate deficiencies. Depending on the PDEng trainee s background and intended Study Programme, 0 to 9 EC may be included to obtain a uniform trainee population. Phase 2 Deepening The PDEng trainee develops him/herself in the area of his/her background, but on a new level (post-msc) or with a different approach of the material. The courses are organized for PhD and PDEng students or professionals, or contain new, e.g. integrating, approaches. Phase 3 Broadening The PDEng trainee broadens his/her scope and learns more in disciplines that are new to him/her. These courses may be on MSc or BSc level, or are specifically organized for PDEng-trainees. The PDEng trainee defines his/her individual Study Programme in discussion with the Programme Coordinator. The trainee has a certain freedom to choose from the Deepening and Broadening courses. Care is taken that the courses form a balanced total, which means that a certain specialization is necessary, while at the same time the different disciplines are represented. Special attention is given to the integration of different disciplines. Level of the courses In the definition of a PDEng trainee s programme, care is taken to balance deepening and broadening courses. Deepening courses are of an advanced, post-msc level and are organized for PDEng and/or PhD students and professionals. Broadening courses may be of a post-graduate, but also of an MSc, or occasionally even of a BSc level. For MSc-courses, you attend the lectures with MSc students and in the content of the examination or the evaluation of the performance it may be taken into account that you are at a post-msc level. For group assigments, you work in principle together with your fellow PDEngtrainees. Core Courses & Projects The obligatory part concerns the Group Design Project and its theoretical preparation, several broadening disciplines, plus the course Industrial BioProduct Design. 3 Study Guide 2009/2010

39 Designer Programme Leiden Lecture Series in the Master programme Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences: LST Master programme Life Science & Technology: OSPT Dutch Graduate School on Process Technology: Group Design Project 17 EC In the Group Design Project, the trainees work in groups of 4 (range 3-6) students on a design project in collaboration with industry. The supervision is in the hands of a steering group consisting of an industrial principal, and academic representatives, with ample (industrial or academic) design experience. The team experiences working in an industrial context, dividing tasks within the team, interacting with different stakeholders and planning and control issues. At the same time, a detailed design has to be delivered, in which systematic and quantitative argumentation is provided for the choices made. The design team communicates regularly with the industrial principal and supervisors by intermediate reporting, which includes presentations and meetings. Code Course Title Credits ST6813 Group Design Project Second year The second year of the programme is devoted to the Individual Design Project (60 EC) in (or in collaboration with) industry. This project is performed in, or in collaboration with, the R&D department of an industry or as a developer in a smaller industry. It may be providing a solution for a specific problem, but it may also regard the whole design process, from idea to feasibility. As in the Group Design Project, a focus is on the delivery of the systematic and quantitative argumentation for the final design solution. The supervision of this project is handled by at least one academic supervisor and one industrial supervisor. 3 Study Guide 2009/2010
