The Chemical Engineering programme is a two-year master programme and comprises 120 EC.
The study load of modules is expressed in European Credits (EC). This is a result of the European Credit Transfer System
(ECTS), which encourages acknowledgement of study results between higher education institutions within the European Union.
EC's give an indication of the weight of a certain part of the programme. One EC involves approximately 28 hours of study. It
includes all time spent on the course: lectures, self-study, assignments, examinations, etc.
Note: use the menu at the left for information on each subset of the programme.
The programme comprises the following tracks:
-Chemical Product Engineering,
-Process Engineering,
-Nuclear Science & Engineering.
The core programme of each track comprises 90 credits and is the same for each student:
-Obligatory core modules (15 credits),
-Obligatory track modules (15 credits),
-Obligatory design modules and design project(20 credits),
-MSc thesis project (40 credits).
Combining the core programme with 30 credits Scientific and Social Orientation (elective part) completes the master
programme. The Scientific and Social Orientation allows for a broadening of knowledge or for additional depth. The student
may opt for:
-Research and Development,
-Management of Technology,
-Education,
-Study Abroad.

PROGRAMME ADDITIONS
- Honours track: This is an individual programme of at least 20 EC on top of the full Chemical Engineering programme, which
contains specially developed modules for all TU Delft honours track students. The full Chemical Engineering programme
including the additional honours track (140 EC in total) should be completed within 2 years. Approval of the course director is
needed.

A crash course on Matlab will be provided at the beginning of the course.
Systems of linear equations;
Solution of nonlinear equations;
Numerical differentiation and integration;
Solution of differential equations, time-integration;
Partial differential equations, boundary value problems;
Fitting functions to data;
Optimization methods.
The mandatory exercises require a minimum of Matlab skills albeit that other programming languages may be used after
consulting the lecturers.
After succesfully completing this course students will:
- be acquainted with those numerical methods that are required to solve problems in later MSc courses;
- be able to use software libraries of solvers;
- understand what goes on inside such solvers.
During 8 weeks, we will have two lectures of 2 hours and 8-12 hours hands-on Matlab practice sessions per week. The theory is
explained in the lectures, and tested during two tests (re-sit: one exam). During the Matlab sessions you learn to apply the theory,
through using Matlab, to a variety of ChemE problems. Your Matlab skills are tested in a series of mandatory assignments.
This course involves heavy use of computers and Matlab, both during computer classes and for homework assignments. Bringing
a laptop with Matlab installed is absolutely required to participate in the course.

The theory exam consists of two (open book) theory tests after four weeks and after the first period. A re-sit exam that covers the
whole contents of the course is held in the second period. Only a "clean" book can be used during these exams, no lecture notes
etc.
There is a series of mandatory homework assignments. Please note that the homework has to be done in the prescribed periods,
and that homework grades cannot be improved later. Lecturers can invite students for an oral assessment of their homework.

Lectures
Tutorials with assignments
Computer-simulation practicum
Molecular simulation practicum (Molecular dynamics; Monte Carlo)
Handouts will be made available.
Required book: "An Introduction to Applied Statistical Thermodynamics", by S. I. Sandler, WILEY (2011)
The final grade is determined by the combination of three intermediate short tests, computer simulation practical, tutorial
assignments and the final exam.
The tests will each consist of 10 multiple choice questions on the lecture material up to the test date.
The tests together contribute to the final grade with a weight of 20%.
Tutorials and simulation practical report contribute to the final grade with a weight of 10% each.
As the main purpose of tutorials is to practice with more complex problems, (such as will occur also at the exam), they will
mainly be appreciated for the effort that was made. This effort may include asking for advice with an instructor.
So even a not completely correct answer can earn maximal points if a serious effort was made.
So
'Total grade' = (average test grade)*20/100 + (average tutorial grade)*10/100 + (computer-simulation grade)*10/100 + (exam
grade)*60/100.
One cannot pass if the exam grade < 5.0.
If exam grade > above mentioned weigthed avarage (and > 5.0), then the final grade = exam grade.

BSc: Transport Phenomena, Physical Chemistry, Thermodynamics
Note: it is absolutely required to have a good working understanding of BSc level transport phenomena. We will test this in the
first class and organize several brush-up sessions in the first weeks for those that need a refresher
The classical analysis of transport phenomena finds its origin in the mass, energy and momentum balance equations.
Supplementing these balance equations with the Gibbs equation a formulation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics provides
a multi-scale approach to engineering concepts as controllability, stability and efficiency and leads to a quantitative route to
address sustainability.
1.Microscopic scale
Force-flux framework: molecular kinetic origin; Maxwell-Stefan model; entropy production rate: minimization schemes.
2.Mesoscopic scale
Heat- and mass transfer, charge transport: conduction and diffusion: free and defect-controlled; fluid mechanics: Stokes flow,
transport in flow systems; reaction-diffusion systems.
3.Macroscopic scale
Exergy: concept, minimization schemes and economy.
Controllability based on the principle of dissipation rate manipulation.
Process control based on the principle of time constant manipulation by means of dissipation rates.
Mathematical analysis methods: scaling and approximation techniques, analytical and numerical approaches.

Assessment

BSc level math skills. In particular, students should be fluent in multivariable calculus and have a firm background in differential
equations. Most of the text is in tensor notation, and students should be able to use such notation. Students that need to brush up
their math skills are advised to refresh their knowledge, e.g. using ocw.mit.edu, course 18.02 (freshman math class), especially
lectures 15-31.
In many processes in (bio)chemical industrial as well as in health and energy related applications, fluid flow, heat transfer and
mass transfer, and chemical reactions interact in a complex way. To reduce complexity, generic rules as to estimating
characteristic times, scales and regimes are dealt with. Several techniques are introduced for finding approximate solutions to
partial differential equations.
Balances - Deen Ch. 2 (recap of MTP)
Scaling - Deen Ch. 3.2, Fowler
Reductions in dimensionality - Deen Ch. 3.3
Unidirectional flow, Lubrication - Deen Ch 6, reader
Time scales - Deen Ch. 3.4
Similarity - Deen Ch. 3.5
Integral methods - reader, Deen 3.8
Perturbation methods - Deen Ch 3. 6
Forced convection heat/mass Transfer - Deen Ch. 9
The students should be able to analyse and solve practical and more advanced chemical engineering problems. We avoid
memorizing correlations and encyclopedic knowledge, and rather focus on problem solving skills by teaching several generic
methods that can successfully be applied to transport problems.
At the end of this course, the student can:
- Solve typical transport problems approximately
- Quickly get an idea about the behavior of a system
- Gauge the effect of small secondary phenomena - can you ignore them or not?
- Reduce complex problems to simpler ones with one of several techniques
Lectures, supported by exercises and homework assignments.
We hand out Study Guides - step by step guides for how to work through the text and exercises. No worked out solutions are
handed out - we have extremely poor experience with learning with the solution at hand. The homework, or rather, the work that
is to be done outside class hours, is to work through the Study Guides. On the evening before class, before 9 PM, questions
relating to the topic at hand may be posed on Blackboard in the discussion forum. These questions will be discussed in class. It is
therefore important that the students keep up with the material and study guides.
Additionally, a TA available one morning per week for face-to-face advise and questions on the course material.
No computer is required, although some of the material can be studied faster using mathematica or maple.
Deen, analysis of transport phenomena. second edition. Selected additional reading material will be made available.
A syllabus is available on Blackboard. Most of the classes will use the old-fashioned blackboard. Classes from 2011 on
collegerama.
Written exam. Typically, a small portion or the exam tests if you can reproduce (variations of) problems discussed in class.
As the main teaching goals is to apply methods to new problems, a significant portion of the exam tests if you can apply the
methods learned to new problems that you have never seen before.
Individual work on the study guides is not graded.

Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and of physical chemistry.
You will be taught about ways in which material composition and structure can be adjusted for optimal use in various fields of
applications ranging from solar and fuel cells, nanoelectronics, catalysis, sensing, to bio-medical a materials. To reach this goal
you will learn how the structure of materials can be determined experimentally and understood theoretically. Material properties,
structure and dynamics will be connected to advanced products as final applications. Materials of interest include small
molecules and (in)organic nanostructured semiconductors.
The first part of the course involves the quantum mechanical description of molecules, nanostructured materials and solids, as
well as their interaction with light. Topics include molecular rotations, vibrations, electronic states and band structure of solids.
The relation of these properties to the performance of materials in photovoltaics, photocatalysis and nanoelectronics will be
demonstrated. It will also be taught how different types of optical spectroscopy and lasers can be used to characterize these
properties.
Then, the course covers the relation of the structure and interatomic or intermolecular forces. The course introduces the
background of different techniques that are used to determine the structure and functionality of materials, including magnetic
resonance, X-ray/neutron/ electron diffraction, dynamic light scattering and various kinds of microscopy (TEM, STM, AFM,...).

Basic knowledge on physical-chemistry
Much of now-a-days advanced chemical products are composed of materials that are neither simple liquids nor well-ordered
solids. In reality, a large majority of chemical products relates to materials that are generally classified as soft materials or
complex fluids.
This course considers the relation between soft material composition and structure and how they can be used or modified to take
part in the development of a chemical product. The course provides core competence for students aiming at either a R&Dindustry career or an academic one. In this course you will learn the foundations underlying the behavior of soft matter, such as
polymers and polymeric materials, self-assembly structures, liquid-crystals, emulsions, and gels. Fundamental knowledge is then
related to advanced products in various fields of applications ranging from food, sensing, coatings, to bio-medical and health
care materials as well as materials for energy such as fuel cell membranes.

Study Goals

An introduction on the theories describing the structure and dynamics of soft materials will be given as well as how those
properties can be determined experimentally. The topics covered in the course provide an introduction on molecular forces,
energies, and timescales typical of soft condensed matter. Supra-molecular structures and material properties arising from those
interactions will then be considered. Those relations are in turn, illustrated with applications and you will be thought how the
control of various kinds of molecular interactions can lead to desired advanced material properties and structures.
Knowledge:
1)To be able to explain with your own words basic concepts of Soft Matter;
2)To be able to explain how different experimental techniques can be applied to determine the structure, dynamical response and
properties of a material;
Understanding:
3)To understand how various kinds of intermolecular interactions determine the structure and dynamics of soft materials at
various length scales;
Analysis (critical thinking):
4)To be able to interpret quantitatively (characterization) experimental data on soft materials;
5)To be able to calculate basic quantities related to structure and dynamics of soft materials;

English
General chemistry, basics of thermodynamics
This course is designed for both Chemical Engineering (obligatory for the Nuclear Science and Engineering track), Applied
Physics and Sustainable Energy Technology students that are interested in developing a working knowledge of the nuclear fuel
cycle. The course is about the role of chemistry in each component of the nuclear fuel cycle from the metallurgy of uranium to
the disposition of spent reactor fuel or high level waste. While the physics and engineering of controlled fission are central to the
generation of electricity by nuclear reactors, chemistry dominates all other aspects of nuclear fuel cycle. This course will not
only give students a comprehensive study of the traditional fuel cycle (the uranium once-through cycle), but it will also detail
many of the proposed nuclear fuel cycles that may very well carry nuclear power through the coming decades. As an outcome of
the course, the students will be able to compare and contrast existing and innovative fuel cycles, learning and discussing the pros
and cons of each.
1.Students can demonstrate how chemistry influences almost all aspects of the fuel cycle.
2.Students can define all stages of the traditional nuclear fuel cycle and describe the involved chemical processes.
3.Students can discuss the fundamental differences between the traditional and alternative fuel cycles.
4.Students can justify, at each step of the fuel cycle, the similarities and differences in behaviours between the different actinide
elements in view of their chemical and physical properties.
5.Students can explain the behaviour of fission products in the irradiated fuel, during the reprocessing and in geological
environment.
6.Students can perform numerical calculations based on the fundamental physical and chemical principles underpinning the
nuclear fuel cycle.
7.Students prepare an essay on a supplemental topic related to the course material, but not covered in class, in which they apply
the key concepts presented during the lectures and perform critical analysis of the information.

programme. The Scientific and Social Orientation allows for a broadening of knowledge or for additional depth. The student
may opt for:
1. Research and Development
This orientation is especially tailored for students who will work in industry after completing their master education. It consists
of:
. Industrial Internship (CH3702, 18 credits),
. Electives (12 credits). Suggested electives are the obligatory track modules from a second track, or modules from the lists
below.
It's possible to fulfil the requirements of the annotation 'entrepreneurship' (www.dce.tudelft.nl) or the annotation 'technology in
sustainable development' (www.tudelft.nl/tisd) within this orientation.
2. Study Abroad
This orientation is especially tailored for students who will do a PhD after completing their master education. It consists of a
semester, project and/or courses, at a foreign university. The programme has to be approved in advance by the board of
examiners.
3. Management of Technology
This orientation consists of the second semester of the MSc MoT programme.
4. Education (only Dutch students)
The educational programme is aimed at Dutch-speaking students only, because it is oriented towards the Dutch school system
and because it includes internships at Dutch secondary schools. Consequently the educational specialisation modules are taught
in Dutch. You should contact the education programme coordinator, M.A.F.M. Jacobs, before starting this orientation.

Special Programmes:
A. Students who opt for a double degree (second master) and have obtained prior permission are allowed to spend the Scientific
and Social Orientation on modules from the second master programme.
Double degree programmes combining chemical engineering with other master programmes, such as Management of
Technology, are always subject to the restrictions imposed by the university. The main restrictions are that the double degree
programme comprises at least 180 EC and that there are two identifiable final project reports for both degrees. Formal
permission from the board of the university is required.

You will be working in a Chemical Engineering related organization full-time for a period of 3 months. Your Master Chemical
Engineering knowledge is necessary for the project.
The industrial internship is guided by an internal (TU Delft) and an external (company) supervisor. The mark for the internship is
awarded by these two supervisors. The mark is based on a series of criteria, including an individual report of the student, in
which the experiences concerning the main goals, including the experience in the working environment are discussed.
During the industrial internship you are expected to get to know the organization. To do so, you need to start gathering
information about the organization of your choice prior to the start and make a list of questions you would like to have answered.
During the internship you need to make time to get acquainted with other departments within the organization and interview, for
example, a number of people in different parts of the organization.
IMPORTANT:
It is desirable for the internship to have a Chemical Engineering content. However, in some cases it may be acceptable if this
component is lacking, provided that the work requires problem solving or design skills for a chemical engineer.
The criteria formulated above do not exclude activities in a startup company (maybe initiated by the student) to be accepted as
internships. The criterion is that there should be an internship supervisor with sufficiently strong involvement to be able to act as
such.
The internship is in principle intended as a way for students to broaden their awareness of working environments outside
academia. This excludes certain organisations.
For very good students who aspire a carreer in academia, a possibility for an academic internship is through a grant from the
Justus and Louise van Effen fund, which is restricted to very good students and which provides funding for internships at top-20
engineering universities only. For more information, see http://studenten.tudelft.nl/en/students/study-and-career/studying-ordoing-an-internship-abroad/step-2-making-preparations/scholarships/beursbeschrijvingen/justus-louise-van-effen-researchgrant/.
The student is responsible for finding an internship position. The Internship Office TNW only has an assisting, coordinating and
administrative role.
We therefore advice students to start looking for an internship well in advance:
International students are advised to start the orientation process during the first year of their Master.
Dutch students are advised to start the orientation process at least 6 months in advance if planning to stay in the Netherlands,
and at least 9 months if planning to go abroad.

Assessment

Allowed: Business, chemical engineering content; TNO (or foreign equivalents such as Fraunhofer Gesellschaft); ECN; NFI;
patent office; consultancy (provided technical / quantitative); financial analysis (provided strong quantitative, or related to
financing a chemical plant or business).
If the Board of Examiners has given permission to do the thesis project outside the university, the internship can't be done at the
same organization as the thesis project.
The goal of the internship is:
To become familiar with a professional working environment for a chemical engineer.
To use academic knowledge and skills, acquired in the degree course, to solve problems or be active in design related to
Chemical Engineering, in a professional working environment.
Skills should be acquired on the following topics:
1. Performance: Productivity, Independence, Practical skills, Theoretical knowledge, Creative thinking, Time management;
2. Communication: Reporting, Presentation, Interpersonal;
3. Competences: Motivation & enthusiasm, Critical attitude, Taking initiative.
Practical training on the job, the company supervisor is responsible for day-to-day supervision.
During the internship period the student will also report to the TU Delft instructor 2-3 times about progress made on the project.
The Blackboard page http://blackboard.tudelft.nl > organizations > education > applied sciences > Stagebureau TNW/Internship
Office Applied Sciences (enrol!) provides more information about the industrial internship. On this page you can find the step-by
-step guide explaining all procedures, forms, internship offers, experiences from other students and additional information e.g.
about grants and funding.
You can contact the Internship Office through: InternshipOffice-TNW@tudelft.nl
The mark for the internship is awarded by the two supervisors. The mark is based on a series of criteria, including an individual
report of the student, in which the experiences concerning the main goals, including the experience in the working environment
are discussed.
For the assessment you need to submit two reports:
A scientific report using the format and guidelines of the company for your TU Delft supervisor and company supervisor;
An evaluation report for the internship office.
Two weeks before the end of your internship, the Internship Office TNW will send your company supervisor and TU Delft
supervisor the internship review form.
Your company supervisor needs to assess your internship at the end of your internship period and send his review form to the TU
Delft supervisor. Your TU Delft suprevisor needs to assess your internship within two weeks after the end of your internship and
give a mark. The TU Delft supervisor will then send the assessment form (including the company supervisor review form) to the
Internship Office TNW.
In principle, the mark awarded by the company supervisor counts for 2/3 towards the final mark; that of the TU Delft supervisor
for 1/3. The TU Delft supervisor can overrule this if he/she has good reasons for it, which should be communicated to the student
and the internship office.
The Internship Grading Scheme will be used as a guideline to determine the mark. Please consult the Internship Office TNW
Page 30 of 92

Blackboard for the detailed grading scheme.


Your mark will be processed as soon as the Internship Office TNW has received:
The review form with an original signature from both supervisors. Your supervisors can request the review form by sending an
email to InternshipOffice-TNW@tudelft.nl
A digital copy of both reports.

Enrolment / Application

When the nature of the project requires so, it is possible to censor parts of the report. Details like numbers and names may be left
out of the report (or striked through), for example, as long as the report represents the achievements of the project and the TU
Delft supervisor is able to assess the internship.
Prior to the start, the internship needs to be approved by the TU Delft instructor*.
When the TU Delft instructor has approved the internship, fill out the Internship application form (you can download from the
Internship Office TNW Blackboard) and make sure both the TU Delft instructor and company supervisor have read and signed
the form. The form should be submitted prior to the start of your internship.
*A TU Delft supervisor is a member of faculty (tenured or appointed on a tenure track position within the faculty of Applied
Sciences) involved in the Chemical Engineering programme, and thus appointed as an examiner in the programme.

Exam by appointment
English
Basic knowledge in physical chemistry
Contemporary products and processes involve micro and nanostructured materials. As a consequence they possess an incredible
amount of internal interface: of the order of a soccer field per liter! This course addresses the recently developed techniques to
study the behavior of such internal interfaces with the ultimate goal of harnessing them into new product and process
technologies. Topics include but are not limited to aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS), wet nanoparticle synthesis, green
waterborne coatings and graphene exfoliation.
At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to critically assess the current literature dealing with nanostructured
systems from fundamental knowledge to practical systems.
The course consists of 5 different topics based on recent scientific articles. For each topic, a basic introduction into the topical
field will be provided in the first lecture (1 class hour). Students are then required to work out a number of exercises that detail
the material presented in the article (1 class hour plus self-study). The answers are discussed during the final lecture and an
outlook is presented (2 class hours). Groups of students are to choose one topic to draft a basis-of-design (BOD) for a process or
product (2 class hours and self-study). These BODs are discussed at the end of the course (2 class hours).
For some of the topics, experts are invited to give a presentation at the ChemE colloquium (Monday lunch time). These colloquia
are open to all students and afterwards the expert is available for discussion.

Separation processes are very important in all sectors of modern process industry. A reaction section in a chemical plant is
typically surrounded by 3-6 separation units, which perform a variety of functions (e.g. feed concentration, product purification,
solvent-recycling, off-gas treatment and water-recovery). Separation processes consume approximately 40% of the energy
consumption and 75% of the investment cost in the process industry. Consequently, you are likely to come across the design
and/or operation of separation units in your future career.
Basic principles and methods for the process and equipment design of the main thermal separation processes in the chemical
industry are discussed.
Underlying theory on thermodynamics of mixtures and mass transfer by convection and diffusion across interfaces is shortly
repeated
Characteristics and design methods for vapour liquid, liquid-liquid, solid liquid separation processes or in processes in which
mass separation agents and
physical barriers are applied are given. Equipment characteristics and design for the mentioned separation processes is shortly
discussed.
Thermodynamics of separation processes, convective mass transfer, mass transfer by diffusion, film theory.
Single equilibrium stages and cascades.
Examples of separation processes.
Basic principles and design methods for equipment used in equilibrium stage separation processes, such as distillation,
absorption, stripping (desorption), extraction, crystallization and mechanical separation processes, such as sedimentation,
filtration and membrane separations.
The student is able to make a design thermal separation processes, including the dimensioning of the equipment. More
specifically, the student:
1.Can describe the characteristics and principles of thermal separation processes,
2.Can describe and formulate thermodynamics equations and models for the selection and design of thermal separation
processes,
3.Can quantify the mass transfer rate over an interface by diffusion end convection,
4.Knows the role of mass transfer in the dimensioning of equipment for separation processes
5.Can determine the separation efficiency for single and multi-stage separations and can quantify the influence of the process
conditions and the contacting modes on the separation.

The following topics will be dealt with:
- Biomass Characterisation (biomass types, properties, analyses)
- Pretreatment (harvesting, size reduction, drying, torrefaction)
- Thermochemical conversion (gasification, combustion; reactor types)
- Biochemical conversion (industrial microorganisms, fermentation)
- Transport fuels / biorefinery (syngas conversion, economics)
- Process design (structured design approach)
The student will get knowledge of and insight into energy supply technologies based on biomass conversion processes. They will
be offered problems to solve in this area.
These main learning objectives can be divided into several smaller learning objectives:
1) The student has knowledge on the typical biomass composition, related properties (like e.g. heating value, ash melting
behaviour) and fuel characterization techniques.
2) The student is able to identify and perform basic capacity calculations concerning biomass conversion systems for small and
larger scale (combined) heat and power generation as well as systems for transportation fuel production.
3) The student is able to set up reaction equations (stoichiometry) for a wide range of energy production related fuel conversion
processes.
4) The student can set up and perform heat and mass balance calculations regarding reactions and biomass based conversion
systems.
5) The student knows how to perform basic ideal gas phase chemical reaction equilibrium calculations to calculate product
compositions and extents of reactions given initial reaction mixture composition, pressure and temperature.
6) The student can understand and describe reaction kinetic expressions and apply them in order to solve problems related to the
conversion of fuels and the formation of emission components.
7) The student demonstrates good knowledge of mass and heat transfer mechanisms and phenomena applied to the chemical
conversion of both liquid and solid biomass (derived) fuels.
8) The student can derive equations for idealised model reactors (well-stirred reactor and plug flow reactor concepts) and apply
these simplified reactor concepts to solve engineering problems related to the thermal conversion of biomass fuels, in particular
combustion and gasification.
9) The student is able to perform calculations concerning the conversion of small particles; important in this respect is the
identification of the regime of conversion. Related dimensionless numbers such as the Thiele Modulus and the Biot number are
key indicators in this respect.
10) The student is able to understand the basics of biochemical and thermo-chemical conversion processes and to translate this
into designing and evaluating such (sometimes hybrid) systems, including their economic evaluation.
11) The student demonstrates good communication skills, both oral and written, concerning presentation of scientific results.
28 contact hours: lectures, meetings in which the teams can work and get feedback on their assignments, and meetings in which
students present and discuss the solution of the assignments.
Book: "Biomass, a sustainable energy source for the future", de Jong and van Ommen, Wiley.
The final grade consists of four parts:
* the solution to the (four) assignments (team work);
* an individual test consisting of multiple choice questions;
* a larger final assignment (team work);
* evaluation of presentations.
The assessment method may be adapted to actual student population.

Basic knowledge in physical chemistry
Contemporary products and processes involve micro and nanostructured materials. As a consequence they possess an incredible
amount of internal interface: of the order of a soccer field per liter! This course addresses the recently developed techniques to
study the behavior of such internal interfaces with the ultimate goal of harnessing them into new product and process
technologies. Topics include but are not limited to aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS), wet nanoparticle synthesis, green
waterborne coatings and graphene exfoliation.
At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to critically assess the current literature dealing with nanostructured
systems from fundamental knowledge to practical systems.
The course consists of 5 different topics based on recent scientific articles. For each topic, a basic introduction into the topical
field will be provided in the first lecture (1 class hour). Students are then required to work out a number of exercises that detail
the material presented in the article (1 class hour plus self-study). The answers are discussed during the final lecture and an
outlook is presented (2 class hours). Groups of students are to choose one topic to draft a basis-of-design (BOD) for a process or
product (2 class hours and self-study). These BODs are discussed at the end of the course (2 class hours).
For some of the topics, experts are invited to give a presentation at the ChemE colloquium (Monday lunch time). These colloquia
are open to all students and afterwards the expert is available for discussion.

Chemistry and Physics of Actinides

English
General chemistry, basics of thermodynamics
Actinides are 5f-elements with many unique properties. Three of them - Th, Pa and U occur naturally and the elements following
the uranium in the Periodic Table (transuranium elements) are manmade. The actinides are essential to nuclear power generation
but also find applications in many other areas of industry, medicine and research. Many aspects related to these elements
including synthesis, properties, impact on chemistry and physics, and their importance to society make them exclusive
representatives of the Periodic Table. Due to their significant role and because the final destination of transuranic elements
originating from the nuclear fuel cycle is still an open issue, the actinide chemistry and physics continues to be one of the major
areas of nuclear research.
Furthermore, the biological and environmental hazards associated with these elements pose certain risks which must be
controlled and minimized. For these reasons knowledge of chemistry and physics of the actinide elements remains an essential
component of modern educational programmes in Nuclear Science and Engineering. Moreover, understanding of properties of
actinides and f-electronic shells contributes to a better understanding of the Periodic Table in general.
The course is aimed at master level students with background in chemistry and/or physics. The content will cover properties of
5f-electronic shells which underpin many unique features of the actinide series. Comparison with 4f-elements will be made:
electronic configurations, oxidation states, redox potentials, thermochemical data, crystal structures, ionic radii.
Inorganic, structural and organometallic chemistry of major classes of actinide compounds will be reviewed, as well as their
environmental properties and toxicology. An important issue of actinides behaviour in the environment and in the geosphere will
be discussed, together with analytical tools for their identification. A separate section of the course will be dedicated to the
technological applications of actinides in the nuclear fuel cycle, in catalysis, for space batteries and medical application etc.
Finally, magnetic and optical properties and thermodynamics of actinides will be addressed.
This is a 3 ECTS course composed of 28 total lecture hours, 56 self-study and a final examination.
Lecture 1. Introduction: actinide concept, 5f-electron phenomena in the metallic state, comparison of properties of the actinide
and transactinide elements.
Lecture 2. Inorganic/structural chemistry of actinide compounds.
Lecture 3. Actinides in the geosphere/actinides in the environment.
Lecture 4. Identification and speciation of actinides.
Lecture 5. Thermodynamics/ magnetic /optical properties of actinides and actinide compounds. Computational actinide studies.
Lecture 6. Organoactinide chemistry: synthesis and characterization.
Lecture 7. Technological applications of actinides (nuclear fuel cycle, space batteries, catalysis, medical application etc.).
1. Be able to explain chemical behaviour of actinides in view of their electronic structure.
2. Discuss roles played by major and minor actinides in the traditional fuel cycle, describe other technological applications of
actinides.
3. Be able to discuss in detail chemical and physical properties of various actinide compounds.
4. Illustrate the role of redox reactions in chemistry of the actinide series.
5. Be able to predict environmental behaviour of various actinide species.
6. Compare properties of actinide and transactinide elements.
7. Apply fundamentals of actinide thermodynamics to predict important properties of the actinide elements, ions, and
compounds.
8. Characterise major analytical techniques for actinide studies.
9. Compare/contrast physical properties (magnetic, optical, etc.) of actinides.
10. Identify/predict similarities and differences in behaviour of 4f-, 5f- and 6f-elements (lanthanides, actinides, superactinides).

Quantum Chemistry and Physics (4051QCHFYY)
The course deals with the working of various solar cell technologies. Traditional (first and second generation) solar cells are
based on semiconductors that are prepared by physical methods (usually involving high temperature and/or high vacuum
methods). However, various more recent solar cell technologies (so-called third generation solar cells) are prepared via chemical
approaches. Examples are dye sensitised solar cells, organic solar cells, colloidal quantum-dot solar cells and perovskite solar
cells. These new technologies have received a lot of attention since they can be produced much more cheaply and in some cases
offer the prospect of increased efficiency.
In this course we will discuss the operation of solar cells in general and will pay particular attention to the chemistry of recent
solar cell technologies and the related challenges and opportunities.
Understanding the operation of solar cells requires knowledge about the physics of semiconductors. Therefore the first part of the
course will focus on the properties of semiconductors, following the book "Semiconductor physics and devices".

Can explain the origin of electronic bands in semiconductors and the occupation of those band by charge carriers
Can discuss the factors that govern charge transport in semiconductors
Can discuss electronic doping and the formation of junctions

Depleting fossil fuels and environmental concerns force us to change the way we produce our goods. The transition of the
chemical industry to becoming sustainable represents one of the major challenges to be faced in the 21st century. Catalytic
reactions will increasingly substitute the existing energy- and resource-intensive production procedures; hence reducing or
preventing toxic pollutants. Biotechnology will play a major role in this transition and complement advanced chemical
production technologies.
This course will highlight the emerging role of catalysis in the chemical industry. A major focus will lie on biotechnological
production of chemicals (fermentation processes, isolated enzymes). These methods will be related to their chemocatalytic
counterparts. Thus, ample examples including the underlying mechanistic principles - of bio- and chemocatalytic processes will
be discussed. Finally, the emerging field of renewable feedstocks will be discussed not only from a chemical standpoint, but also
on socioeconomical and ecological grounds. The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry will serve as guideline to assess the scope
and limitations of the examples discussed.
After attending this course the student will:
(1) have detailed knowledge of sustainable catalysts (enzyme- and chemo-catalysis)
(2) know industrial examples of sustainable manufacturing practice
(3) be able to use the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry to assess the sustainability of a given process
(4) be able to critically assess the purport of green claims

This course gives an introduction to the use of enzymes for the synthesis of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Starting from a basic
knowledge in biochemistry, enzymology and organic chemistry, we will study proteins for their capacity to act as catalysts for
different classes of reactions (such as reductions, oxidations and C-C bond formations). The importance of enzymes for the
synthesis of chiral compounds will be an important theme. In addition the advantage and technique of immobilization of
enzymes will be treated.
After this course the student should have acquired in depth knowledge about enzymes as biocatalysts and their application in
Organic Chemistry. Based on this knowledge the student should be able to choose a suitable biocatalyst for an industrially
important reaction and he/she should be able to explain why which type of approach is more suitable for the production of a
given bulk or fine chemical. This includes an in depth analysis of the enzyme, the working conditions and the mechanism.

As of 2016 new law and regulations apply to this course and also the Dutch name is changed from Stralingshygine
deskundigheidsniveau 3 to Cordinerend Deskundige (CD; in English RPO) in de Stralingsbescherming.
These new regulations make it necessary to include new topics like ethics(training), communication skills and non-ionizing
radiation. These new topics have not been included yet in the course that starts in January 2016. Therefore, in 2016 students are
not eligible to obtain the diploma of Cordinerend Deskundige when passing the written exam. Of course, students passing the
written exam and having successfully followed the mandatory parts of the course will obtain the applicable ects (= 6).
The coming year it will be determined whether it is feasible and possible to include these new topics in the next course that will
run in 2017 and keeping the number of ects the same.
It will also be determined whether the new topics can be offered in a separate two day additional module allowing students to
obtain the diploma Cordinerend Deskundige. You will be informed through Blackboard about further developments.

English
General chemistry, basics of thermodynamics
Actinides are 5f-elements with many unique properties. Three of them - Th, Pa and U occur naturally and the elements following
the uranium in the Periodic Table (transuranium elements) are manmade. The actinides are essential to nuclear power generation
but also find applications in many other areas of industry, medicine and research. Many aspects related to these elements
including synthesis, properties, impact on chemistry and physics, and their importance to society make them exclusive
representatives of the Periodic Table. Due to their significant role and because the final destination of transuranic elements
originating from the nuclear fuel cycle is still an open issue, the actinide chemistry and physics continues to be one of the major
areas of nuclear research.
Furthermore, the biological and environmental hazards associated with these elements pose certain risks which must be
controlled and minimized. For these reasons knowledge of chemistry and physics of the actinide elements remains an essential
component of modern educational programmes in Nuclear Science and Engineering. Moreover, understanding of properties of
actinides and f-electronic shells contributes to a better understanding of the Periodic Table in general.
The course is aimed at master level students with background in chemistry and/or physics. The content will cover properties of
5f-electronic shells which underpin many unique features of the actinide series. Comparison with 4f-elements will be made:
electronic configurations, oxidation states, redox potentials, thermochemical data, crystal structures, ionic radii.
Inorganic, structural and organometallic chemistry of major classes of actinide compounds will be reviewed, as well as their
environmental properties and toxicology. An important issue of actinides behaviour in the environment and in the geosphere will
be discussed, together with analytical tools for their identification. A separate section of the course will be dedicated to the
technological applications of actinides in the nuclear fuel cycle, in catalysis, for space batteries and medical application etc.
Finally, magnetic and optical properties and thermodynamics of actinides will be addressed.
This is a 3 ECTS course composed of 28 total lecture hours, 56 self-study and a final examination.
Lecture 1. Introduction: actinide concept, 5f-electron phenomena in the metallic state, comparison of properties of the actinide
and transactinide elements.
Lecture 2. Inorganic/structural chemistry of actinide compounds.
Lecture 3. Actinides in the geosphere/actinides in the environment.
Lecture 4. Identification and speciation of actinides.
Lecture 5. Thermodynamics/ magnetic /optical properties of actinides and actinide compounds. Computational actinide studies.
Lecture 6. Organoactinide chemistry: synthesis and characterization.
Lecture 7. Technological applications of actinides (nuclear fuel cycle, space batteries, catalysis, medical application etc.).
1. Be able to explain chemical behaviour of actinides in view of their electronic structure.
2. Discuss roles played by major and minor actinides in the traditional fuel cycle, describe other technological applications of
actinides.
3. Be able to discuss in detail chemical and physical properties of various actinide compounds.
4. Illustrate the role of redox reactions in chemistry of the actinide series.
5. Be able to predict environmental behaviour of various actinide species.
6. Compare properties of actinide and transactinide elements.
7. Apply fundamentals of actinide thermodynamics to predict important properties of the actinide elements, ions, and
compounds.
8. Characterise major analytical techniques for actinide studies.
9. Compare/contrast physical properties (magnetic, optical, etc.) of actinides.
10. Identify/predict similarities and differences in behaviour of 4f-, 5f- and 6f-elements (lanthanides, actinides, superactinides).

Generally, a literature review is the start of the research preparation on a certain scientific topic. This is necessary to establish
what the latest developements in the field are (state-of-the-art) and to identify gaps in the literature. The subject of the literature
study is related to the expertise field of your supervisor. For this reason it is necessary that you first do some "research" on the
subjects of your interest (look at the web, talk with group members or students). If you have found a supervisor, please formulate
clearly what the subject is of the literature study and make a clear time-planning.
The subject of the study may not overlap with the subject of the MSc Thesis work, because this is also a part of your thesis
project.
The student is able:
a) to review and assess scientific literature critically;
b) to write an overview of the relevant literature for a specific research topic;
c) to present and defend the content to specialists in this particular field of research.
supported self-study with feedback from the supervisor(s).
The assessment is based on a discussion about the presented results and the defence on the bases of the presented literature
review (written report).
The final mark is established by at least two scientific staff members: a) the supervisor of the literature study; b) by a professor
of another section/department.
This course covers a study load of 3 ec (84 hours) for MSc students and 6 ec (168 hours) for BSc students.
The final result (including mark) should be send to Arno Haket. It's appreciated if you contact him in an early stage about your
plans.

To start the Annotation Entrepreneurship Programme, to change the course list of your Annotation Entrepreneurship Programme,
to take part in the thesis related MOT9611 module, and to complete the Annotation Entrepreneurship and obtain the certificate,
contact dcestudents@tudelft.nl
Students who are interested in Technology-based Entrepreneurship can opt for the Master Annotation Entrepreneurship
programme, which trains students to gain entrepreneurial skills and knowledge on starting a tech-based start-up. It combines a
set of courses (>15ECTS) and an additional thesis part (5ECTS) to the main graduation project that touches upon
entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship in the sense of this program can vary from starting up your own business to establishing
entrepreneurial projects within existing business environments and establishing a culture of corporate entrepreneurship. If you
complete the program successfully you will receive an Certificate of the Annotation Entrepreneurship along with their MSc
degree.
This programme is offered by the Delft Centre for Entrepreneurship, faculty of Technology, Policy and Management.
The programme has two compulsory modules which both build on the logic of understanding what it takes to start
entrepreneurial high-tech start-ups (MOT9610 Entrepreneurship Basic course, 5ec) and an experiential learning module
(MOT9612 Business Development Lab short, 5ec) in which you will practice and apply the skills and knowledge in high-tech
Entrepreneurship.
These two modules are complemented with entrepreneurship-related elective modules totalling at least 5ec. See blackboard
organization 'Annotation Entrepreneurship' for a complete list of electives.
To finalize the Master Annotation Entrepreneurship program, you need to complete a written report that addresses the
identification and appropriation of the commercial and societal value of the research topic of your master thesis project. This is
done in the project-based MOT9611 (Project Entrepreneurship Thesis related, 5ec) module.
The Annotation Entrepreneurship consists of these components:
- The obligatory modules MOT9610, MOT9611 and MOT9612 (15ec).
- Elective module(s) on entrepreneurship totalling at least 5ec.
A maximum of 6ec can be done as free electives in the R&D orientation; or as an alternative the required elective is done as part
of the MOT orientation.
Option: the remaining courses fit in an (individual) honours programme!

This is a university-wide initiative. The specialisation 'Technology in Sustainable Development' fits into all MSc curricula at TU
Delft. The specialisation is open to all TU Delft master students that intend to integrate sustainable development into their
graduation project.
The graduation specialisation covers both broader and deeper knowledge regarding Sustainable Development (SD) and
technology. Sufficient depth is achieved by the demand that SD has to be a core issue in the graduation project. Approval of the
thesis work and the internship by the departments advisor on sustainability is needed. He will assess the project regarding the
way SD has been tackled in the problem definition, the actual work and in the conclusions of the project.
The broadening of knowledge is guaranteed through a number of elective courses in the field of SD and the Colloquium
Technology in Sustainable Development (WM0939TU). Another goal of this colloquium is to teach the students to apply a long
term vision in determining their engineering priorities. It consists of two parts in which interdisciplinary groups of students work
on typical sustainability issues and approaches. The first part is a full-time week which takes place in a hostel where guest
lectures and workshops are held. In the second part - which is spread over about 6 weeks - students are asked to develop
approaches to solve the sustainability problems. In interdisciplinary groups they focus on one subject, for example: water,
energy, industry, transport, etc.
Approval of the Masters thesis work and the internship by the responsible programme employee is required.
The programme consists of:
. Internship within a R&D institution with a clear relation to sustainability (at least 15 credits; 2.5 months),
. Colloquium Technology in Sustainable Development (WM0939TU, 5 credits)
. cluster-A electives (3-7 credits; see www.tudelft.nl/tisd for the list),
. cluster-B electives (3-7 credits; see www.tudelft.nl/tisd for the list).
The thesis project must be focussed on sustainable development or the development of knowledge and technology aimed at a
more sustainable future. Approval of the Masters thesis work and the internship by the responsible programme employee (Dr.
W.G. Bouwman) is required.

The course is open to all Msc students. It is a compulsory course for students wishing to pursue a annotation in Technology in
Sustainable Development. Participants work in interdisciplinary groups on sustainability issues and approaches.
It is organised once a year for maximum 40 students. If the course is overbooked, students that are able to proof that they have
made definite arrangements to the graduation annotation 'Technology in Sustainable Development' will be preferred.
The course provides students with a unique opportunity to explore the connection between engineering, the environment and
society. Through the course students apply knowledge from the classroom to solve real-world problems and see first-hand how
engineers are tackling the massive challenges of sustainable development.
Sustainable development is one of the biggest challenges our society is facing. Climate change, loss of biodiversity, pollution,
water scarcity at some places and floods at others, scarcity of natural resources, population growth and the increasing gap
between the rich and the poor are all issues that make sustainable development urgent. With sustainable development is meant
development that is good for nature (e.g. biodiversity, environment), people (e.g. poverty reduction, welfare) and at the same
time economically profitable (e.g. business model). Technology plays a vital role in transitions towards sustainable development,
as it can help to alleviate greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, et cetera. That means that, as an engineer, you will be able
to play an important role in sustainable development. As sustainability problems cover different disciplinary fields at the same
time and cannot be tackled by only one of them, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary. In addition, there needs to be more in
place than just technology for innovations to become implemented widely. Innovations are embedded in so-called sociotechnical
systems, i.e. systems of technological infrastructures, people and institutions (e.g. regulations). In order to understand how
sustainable innovations come about, it is important to understand the wider sociotechnical system and how it may foster or
hamper sustainability transitions.
This course offers reflection that you will need as an engineer working on sustainability issues. First, reflection on actual
sociotechnical systems will be enhanced during lectures, site visits and discussions during the meetings. Central are
sociotechnical scenarios and societal aspects of technology for sustainability. Second, students work in interdisciplinary teams on
a particular sustainability transition. Each team will design pathways towards a more sustainable future for a particular (selected)
project. Third, students will reflect on their own role, as an engineer, in sustainable development in individual columns.
During the course students will:
-Experience complexity, tensions and dilemmas that come with sustainable practices and required interdisciplinary efforts;
- Consider their role as an engineer with regard to sustainable development and reflect on personal educational objectives,
professional values, ethics and beliefs.
- Analyse (im)possibilities and design pathways of transitions to sustainable futures of sociotechnical systems.
-In the classroom: The course will start with a mandatory kick off meeting.
-In the field: The kick off meeting is followed by 5 meetings which combine guest lectures and site visits. Students have to
attend at least 4 out of 6 meetings to pass the course.
-In a learning lab and bubble: Week 2.8 will be a (mandatory) project that is meant to inspire and challenge you to put your
disciplinary knowledge into interdisciplinary and complex practice. The aim is to design pathways to sustainability with an
interdisciplinary team. We plan to stay in a hostel outside Delft for five days and four nights.
Final grades will be primarily based upon the teams report. Team members receive the same grade. However, under specific
circumstances individual grades may be given. Moreover, individual grades may differ from the group grade to a maximum of
0,5 based upon the quality of the written reflection report and participation during meetings. Serious participation in at least 4
meetings (the kick-off meeting plus at least three site visits/guest lectures) and the learning lab is required.
Enrolment in Blackboard only on your request. Please send motivation letter and personal information (name, student id, MSc
program, estimated graduation date) to get on the preliminary list of participants. Sign up in time to be sure of participation.
The course is organised once a year for maximum 40 students. If the course is overbooked, preference is given to students that
can proof to have made definite arrangements to the graduation annotation 'Technology in Sustainable Development'.

The educational programmes are aimed at Dutch-speaking students only, because they are oriented towards the Dutch school
system and because it includes internships (Schoolpracticum) at Dutch schools. Consequently the educational programme
modules are taught in Dutch.
The programme consists of Basisdeel/Ed1 (30 EC) and Verdiepingsdeel/Ed2 (30 EC).
The minor Education (Basisdeel/Ed1) can be done during the bachelor programme and leads to certification as a tweedegraads
secondary school teacher with limited qualification (beperkte bevoegdheid). If a student has done the minor Education, only the
Verdiepingsdeel/Ed2 of 30 EC remains for the master programme scientific and social orientation. The combination of the minor
Education and Ed2 specialisation leads to certification as a fully-qualified eerstegraads (grade-one) secondary school teacher.
The certificate will be attached to the master diploma.
Students that did not take the minor Education can follow the Basisdeel/Ed1 specialisation as part of their master programme and
then do the Verdiepingsdeel/Ed2 as a post-master course in order to become fully qualified.
The programme should be approved by the education programme coordinator M.A.F.M. Jacobs. You should contact him before
starting this programme.

All theoretical SC or Ed courses
In this course for all science education and science communication master-students we will focus on the similarities and
differences between education and communication. Students will explore and elaborate the statement that education is formal
communication and communication is informal education. Knowing, identifying and using similarities and differences will
enhance your own and specific education and communication practice and reasoning. Some examples: Teaching might be
strongly supported by communication strategies. The psychology of communication might enhance the learning processes in
groups and/or individuals. Communication professionals on their turn could benefit from the way educational researchers and
education professionals deal with the various basic attitudes of an audience towards new knowledge.
Through an integration assessment students learn from each other their specific theoretical knowledge. This course not only
focusses on new theories and the broadening of your theoretical scope, but moreover makes you familiar with the power of
professional feedback and getting used to learn from and questioning other domains. The latter is important for education and
communication which are multidisciplinary by nature.

Students will be able to compare and integrate theories from both domains and their application.

How to create a series of lessons, design a strategic science communication process on a certain technological subject and its
according communication means? In the Bachelors stage you will have already become acquainted with designing. It will be that
experience in the field of technological design that will form the basis for this course on designing of communication and
education products and processes. The central themes of this course will be: how to design, realise, implement and evaluate
education and communication products and processes.
The issues dealt with will be problem analysis methods, systems theory, design methods and precisely how communication and
education theories can be applied to the design process. In case of the latter, also creativity, experience and intuition are
discussed and made explicit during lectures and assignments. These domains of knowledge are helpful in bridging the gap
between theory and practice. And of course ethical and philosophical issues connected to innovations in science and technology
will be taken into account of the design process.

Study Goals

Education Method
Literature and Study
Materials

The course's first period is considered a more theoretical part in which science education and science communication students
work together , whereas the second period you will start working on your own education of communication design.
The first period combines education and communication. In the second period you will deepen and broaden either an education
process and product or a communication process or product. An important aspect of this stage of the course will be the justifying
of your choices.
By the end of this course you will have obtained:
- insight into the theories concerning the process of designing, planning and producing products designed for the purposes of
conveying scientific and technological knowledge;
- insight into the evaluation methods deployed in the areas of education and communication;
- skills in bridging the gap between education and communication theory and practice by design.
Lectures and seminars
Reader provided via blackboard. The additional literature for the first period will be posted on blackbord.
For science education students the literature concerning the second period see 'Literatuur en studiemateriaal'.

Prerequisites
Assessment

For science communication students the literature concerning the second period will be posted on blackbord as well.

The final products will comprise:
- education product and process or communication product and process accompanied by a detailed description of the strategic
design choices made;
- design processes needs to be evaluated;
- individual oral assessment during period 1 and 2;
- presentation to be given during the final lecture.
The final mark will be based on the final product of the first period and the one from the second period (1:1), moreover both
assignments should be graded 6 or more. The oral individual assessments in both period 1 and 2 can result in -1 or +1 difference
with your final group grade.

Remarks

Lecture attendance is compulsory.


Students are expected to work on the final assignments in pairs of two or in groups of three.
The first part of this course will be taught in English. The language used in the second part depends: English for students in the
Science Communication track, Dutch for students in the Education track.

The Master programme in Management of Technology (MOT) educates students with a bachelor degree in engineering as
technology managers, innovation managers, analysts of technological markets (either as scientists or consultants), and
entrepreneurs in technology-based, internationally-oriented competitive business environments.
The ultimate objective of the programme is to improve the quality of technology and innovation management in the different
engineering mono-disciplines in practice. Students contribute to t scientific work in the area of MOT and have the opportunity to
apply their knowledge in real-world settings, such as advanced technology organizations, laboratories, and high-tech business
ventures.

Study Goals

Education Method

Assessment

The programme deliberately aims at an international and diverse group of students. Students of MOT are all rooted in different
engineering mono-disciplines and work together in order to combine insights from the different engineering disciplines and to
apply the different aspects of technology and innovation management. The programme focuses on technology and innovation in
relation to (1) organization, (2) commercialization, (3) engineering economics, (4) research and reflection. In the course
MOT1003 students learn how to integrate the different themes of the programme.
1.By the end of the Integration Moment you are acquainted with the MOT knowledge and skills as put forward in the first year
of the Progam,
2.By the end of the Integration Moment you have a thorough understanding of the (inter-) relationships between the different
parts of the MOT program.
3.By the end of the course you have experienced how to apply MOT knowledge and skills effectively.
In part 1 of this course students will play a Business Strategy Game (BSG, see www.bsg-online.com) In groups of 1 to 5 class
members students are assigned to operate an athletic footwear company that produces and markets both branded and privatelabel footwear and competes head-to-head against footwear companies run by other members of the class.
In part 2 of the MOT1003 course students are asked to design their own version of a simulation game. The game played in part 1
may serve as a trigger but students are free to design a game that provides an optimal integration of the different topics of the
MOT curriculum. In order to prepare students, lectures on the basics of game design will be part of the course. Part 2 will be
broken down into 3 different deliverables for each week
We will use the case method of instructing and assessment during the Integration Moment. Students will be expected to do
online assignments as well as a classroom participation during the business game. All assignments are group assignments. The
final grade is based on the score of the online group assignment (50%) as well as the score on their design of a future MOT game
(50%).

Summary
The course Technology, Strategy and Entrepreneurship focuses on formulating and implementing technology strategy for large
firms and entrepreneurs. However, before a manager can formulate a successful strategy, it is needed to understand the specifics
of the external economic and societal environment in which the strategy will be implemented. Throughout the course, students
will be acquainted with a variety of academic perspectives which are utilized by strategy and entrepreneurship researchers.
Course Contents
Greater product and technology complexity and increased internationalization of innovation activities have increased costs and
risks for innovators such that the boundaries of the firms have changed and are changing.
Specifically, we explain the typical patterns of technological innovation in order to provide a foundation for the formulation of a
technology strategy. Furthermore, we focus on identifying the reasons why most industries adopt a dominant design and why a
particular firms technology is adopted as the dominant design. We will examine the factors that affect the outcome of standards
battles. These include e.g. timing of entry strategies, collaboration strategies, and appropriability strategies.
We will provide a basic background of entrepreneurship. Specifically, we will pay attention to networking strategies for new
firms (entrepreneurs). How do these firms attempt to achieve success with their new technology, in a new market? As the
boundaries of the firms are getting more transparent due to greater complexity of technical projects, it is required to decide
whether to collaborate with external partners, and with whom. This can be a good option for entrepreneurial firms as they lack
the necessary complementary assets to successfully commercialize a new technology. We will explore collaboration strategies
for entrepreneurial firms.

Study Goals

Education Method

Literature and Study


Materials

Technological innovation is a much more uncertain activity for a firm than other activities. Strategic thinking and formulation
require knowledge on the boundaries of the firm and the markets in which the firm operates, its value chain and its core
competencies. Also, strategy formulation aims at controlling the external environment of the firm, which is characterized by
uncertainties. A distinction can be made in changes in the external environment in time or by location. General Purpose
Technologies affect strategy formulation in time and frugal or inclusive innovations by location. After formulating the sources
and innovation strategies we will pay attention to the resources firms have for innovation processes and specific valuation
techniques, like real options, conjoint analysis and data envelopment analysis.
After the course students are able to understand the theoretical background of technology strategy. The course provides students
with a coherent framework to understand, to relate and to position a variety of strategy topics.
After the course students are able to understand the theoretical background of entrepreneurship.
After the course, students are able to understand and apply key technology strategy models; students are able to understand the
relations between those models.
After the course students are able to understand, analyze and conclude on the industry dynamics of technological innovation.
After the course, students are able to understand, analyze and conclude on companies technology strategy, and are able to
generate recommendations for formulating and implementing such a strategy for large and entrepreneurial firms.
After the course students are able to formulate and implement the technological innovation strategy for large and entrepreneurial
firms
This is a blended course and the course is organized into 1 introduction session, 6 regular sessions, 2 game sessions, 4 teaching
case sessions, and one concluding session with exam preparation. Each week will start with a spark which will be communicated
through blackboard on the discussion forum. On the first day the teacher will be online at a predefined time to discuss the spark
with you. On the second day of the week a teaching case or teaching game will be offered. On the third day of the week, teaching
material will come online. On the fourth day of the week, a regular interactive lecture is planned. On the fifth and final day of the
week quizzes and mid-term exams are available. Deadlines for quizzes and mid-term exams are every Friday 13:00. Each regular
session will consist of lectures. In the teaching case sessions students discuss questions posed in assigned teaching cases that
relate to the topics studied in the regular sessions. For the regular sessions students study the literature and for the teaching case
sessions students prepare the teaching cases. In the teaching game sessions students apply the theory by implementing and
evaluating various strategies in a real life situation.

Inter- and intra-organisational decision making

English
All organizations, big or small, public or private, national or international, take decisions on a daily basis. One would like to
believe that such decisions - taken in and between organizations - are highly structured, well-planned and based on all the
necessary information. In reality, information is often incomplete or contested by the multiple actors involved in decision
making processes. Whether it is governments pushing through policies or companies trying to increase profits, rarely can a
decision be made in isolation from competing interests, both within the organization and outside it. As a result, decisions often
appear to be taken in a chaotic and ill-structured manner.
One of the primary purposes of this course is to make students realize that it is often impossible to reach decisions through
rational problem solving and information processing. In many instances, carefully pre-conceived plans and hierarchically
enforced decisions backfire. Even ministers or CEOs often cannot decide unilaterally but have to negotiate and make
compromises. Decision making is characterized by permanent struggle and the exercise of both formal and informal power. In
such situations, with many different actors that have a variety of interests yet are dependent on each other, rational problem
solving is not only unattainable but also undesirable.

Elective

This course first of all introduces students to theoretical perspectives and models that help to describe how decisions are made in
practice, i.e. what decision-makers really do, and explain why decisions are made in such a way, i.e. why decision makers
actually do what they do. Beyond description and explanation, this course then acquaints students with how networks are
structured and what strategies may be used in managing a variety of actors and interests. During the lectures students apply the
theoretical perspectives and models to real-life examples of decision making. In parallel students analyze a case study in more
depth, which evaluates past decision making processes to formulate recommendations to actors about future decision making
processes. At the end of the course students are not only able to analyze decision making processes in and between
organizations, but are also able to design (strategies for) decision making processes that enable change in a multi-actor context.
At the end of this course students will be able to:
- Understand and apply rational and political perspectives on decision making.
- Contrast the characteristics of networks with the characteristics of hierarchies, and recognize these in real life cases.
- Independently reconstruct and evaluate decision-making processes about complex problems in multi-actor settings, i.e. in
networks and organizations.
- Recognize and design strategies for decision-making processes in networks and organizations.
This course will primarily consist of (interactive) lectures, case studies and writing a paper individually.
- During the lectures we will synthesize the required readings. We start each lecture with examining a real-life case of a decision
making process.
- During the tutorials students discuss the paper they are required to write individually and hand in at the end of the course. The
paper needs to reflect the students ability to analyze a decision making process (describing what happened and why it happened
that way) as well as to design strategies that enable change in a multi-actor context (offering suggestions or recommendations for
action). The analysis and strategies are based on the theoretical perspectives, models and concepts discussed during the lectures.
The following academic literature is required reading for the course:
1. The (excerpts from) book chapters and articles published on Blackboard. They can be downloaded as pdfs for free. The book
chapters and articles are accompanied by short texts that provide background information.
2. The book Management in networks: on multi-actor decision making by Hans de Bruijn & Ernst ten Heuvelhof (edition 2008,
ISBN 978-0415462495).
The final grade for this course is determined as follows:
1. Ability to apply knowledge of the required readings is assessed through a digital exam that account for 50% of the final grade.
2. Ability to evaluate a real-life case using theoretical perspectives, models and concepts is assessed through writing an
individual paper. Students should be able to analyze a decision making process and design strategies that enable change in a
multi-actor context. The paper accounts for 50% of the final grade.
3. The exam and the paper will only be graded if the short assignments are handed in through Blackboard in time, prepared them
individually, and if they reflect serious effort.

Business processes are at the core of high-tech organizations and consist of a large number of activities aimed at creating value.
In the digital age business processes are supported by, enabled through and changed by technology. Business processes are
situated at the point where the business meets IT and where technology and customer needs are aligned. If they fail or do not
adapt to the needs of customers the whole business might fail. Business Process Management (BPM) is necessary for ensuring
that processes are operating in concert and that these processes are adaptable to changes in the overall environment of the firm.
In this course the relationship between strategy, technology and business processes will be illustrated, explained and discussed.
Methods and tools for business process analysis and improvement will be presented, including a number of statistical and ICTarchitecture methods. New solutions will be architected for technology organizations. The extent to which the nature of business
processes is affected by contemporary technology constitutes the core of this course. In particular to analyze technologies and
their impact on business process management and to architect new solutions in the organizational context of the firm.
Topics
Aligning strategy and processes, value perspective, supply chains
Workflow, resources, BPM elements and control
Business process modeling (concepts, BPMN) + practical work
Process measurement, Balanced Score Card, Activity-based Costing + practical work
Business process improvement strategies and approaches, path dependencies, capabilities, resource-based view, business process
maturity
Improvement methodologies (LSS, lean, six sigma, theory of constraints, ..)
Statistical analyses and improvement + practical work
Simulation for business process improvement
Compliance by design, build-in-controls in processes and technology
Business process automation and technology (BPM, ERP, workflow, SOA,..)
Business processes automation (case-based, process -based, use-based)
Enterprise IT-architecture + practical work
Agility and adaptability of BPM systems and the users, business process and agile enterprises
Business and knowledge rules
The overall aim of the course is to learn how to improve the relationship between business processes, strategy and technology for
realizing organizational strategies. The focus is on realizing business processes enabled by new technology for high tech
organizations. In particular the objectives are
To analyze the relationship between business processes, strategy and technology
to understand new technologies and their impact on business process management
to have knowledge of methods and tools for improving business processes
to analyse and provide improvement suggestions for business processes
to design a technology architecture for supporting business processes

Reader
Students will collaborate in groups to make an assignment which should contain the design of a process and a technical
architecture. Students should select a process which they want to improve. The assignment consists of three parts
1.Analysis: Students select a company, analyse their strategy and select a critical business process. The existing process should
be modelled and the resulting product, stakeholders role, customer needs and technology used should be analysed.
2.Improvement: Based on the improvement methods and instruments a proposal for improvements should be made.
3.Realization: The proposed business process should be realized using a technology architecture.
For each part the students are expected to prepare a presentation and some of the groups will present these during the lectures.
Grading will be based on presentations (20%) and final report (80%).

This course focuses on methods and techniques for designing and executing research. Both quantitative as qualitative research
methods are taught. The aim of this course is to provide MOT students with meaningful knowledge on how to execute and
critically assess research. Students are expected to acquire fundamental research methodological and statistical know-how and
skills.
This course is designed to help students develop and execute research steps: conceptualization of research ideas/problems,
development of a relevant theoretical framework and to develop related propositions, define core concepts and the way they are
empirically measured or observed, develop an appropriate research design and if required to test statistical hypotheses, to analyse
data and give interpretation of results.

Study Goals

Education Method

Topics that will be covered among others:


- define research problem, research objectives and questions
- conduct research process of scientific investigation
- develop a conceptual model
- formulation of hypotheses
- operationalize and develop measurement of concepts
- develop research design, as well as make motivated decisions on data collection and data analysis methods
- evaluate different types of quantitative techniques (hypothesis testing, non-parametrics, regression analysis, multivariate
analyses)
- perform data analyses through practical use of statistical software (SPSS)
- be able to analyse qualitative data, based on coding principals (possibily use software for qualitative data analysis)
- interpret and present results
- be able to discuss reliability and validity of research
- research ethics
After following this course, students are expected to:
- be able to describe scientific research problems, as well as research objectives and research questions
- develop a conceptual model
- describe the fundamental principles of specific research method and process, as well as being able to develop a research design
- be able to make an informed choice for a quantitative or qualitative research design
- identify sampling and data collection methods
- develop operationalization and measurement of variables
- compare different types of quantitative data analysis methods
- analyse results with SPSS as a statistical tool
- present the results and draw key conclusions
- as well as to be able to execute a qualitative research project, and to be able to make clear what the fundamental difference with
traditional empirical analytical research is.
The course consists of lectures in which knowledge and experience with regard to methodological choices and statistical
analyses go together.
During the lectures, students learn about research design and methods, (theoretical) sampling, data collection methods,
quantitative and qualitative data analysis technique, statistics and research report writing.
