The Department of the Built Environment of the Eindhoven University of Technology offers a PDEng position which leads to the degree of 'Professional Doctorate in Engineering' (PDEng) and is part of the Smart Buildings & Cities PDEng program (SEB&C)
The SEB&C program wants to contribute to the transition towards smart, intelligent and sustainable cities where quality of life is high. This transition requires new solutions which can only be created through multiscale and transdisciplinary (design) approaches. This requires technical designers who are able to work in a multidisciplinary environment and know how to communicate with different disciplines and stake holders. The PDEng program educates trainees to become those technical designers!
The two-year program consists of two main parts running in parallel:
Half of the program consists of post-master level education in the form of generic design projects and courses about design methods, entrepreneurship and professional skills.
The other half of the program is dedicated to an individual design project in collaboration with a company. It is your responsibility to manage and execute the project. Each trainee is supported by an advisor from the company and an advisor from the university.
