Engineering Doctorate traineeship in (Product-Driven) Process and Equipment Design

The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) programme in (Product-driven) Process and Equipment Design will train you to design fit-for-purpose, first-of-its-kind products, processes and equipment. In addition to deepening and broadening your knowledge, you will learn about multi-disciplinary problem-solving, project management and functioning in multicultural teams. You’ll also gain expertise in process development, conceptual design and engineering. In your first year, you’ll follow advanced courses in engineering and gamma disciplines and you’ll participate in a group design project. During your second year, you’ll execute an individual design project at, or in close collaboration with, a partner in the process industry. Here’s where your industrial and academic knowledge will truly be tested as you apply it in the real world. Our projects cover product, process and/or equipment design in the areas of oil & gas, energy, base & specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry.

You’ll be working in an inspiring international scientific ecosystem with fellow trainees from all over the world. If all goes well, this two-year position will lead to an Engineering Doctorate degree, focused on integrating several disciplines to innovatively design processes and process equipment. This expertise is in demand and you’ll enjoy great prospects for a professional future career in the Dutch and international industries.
