Past September, close to 250 students started in our renewed MSc programme Civil Engineering. Along with the launch of the new programme, led by Programme Director Tjerk Zitman, this nice information video was recorded, showing all aspects of the new programme:

WE ARE OPEN We are now in the process of running year 1 for the first time, AND simultaneously further developing year 2, AND also offering the "old" programme in a reduced form. You can probably imagine this is quite challenging: undergoing a major refurbishment while the "shop is kept open"! However, there was no other way, since we could have hardly closed the shop for two years, and also students who have entered the old programme need to be taught as they expected. Below an impression of one of the many group sessions we had on programme, modules and units to discuss what the content should be, which pedagogy to adopt, and how to reach the intended learning outcomes in a sound (and healthy) manner. The meeting below was on the tracks Structural Engineering and Construction Materials Engineering, which are taught by two departments in our Faculty, many people involved. |
MONITORING
Although it is early days yet for evaluation, all new modules are carefully monitored, and student feedback is taken into account even while the modules are running. Some toothing problems which we already ran into were related to (big) differences in prior knowledge between different groups of students. In a week from now, my own first teaching activity in the new programme will start, with a lecture on Structural Reliability. For those interested: check my slides!
