EngD in Innovative sustainable façade design

The TU/e Department of the Built Environment offers you a EngD trainee position to follow a two-year post-master technological designer program (Smart Buildings & Cities; SBC). After successfully completing all requirements, trainees are awarded the EngD degree (Engineering Doctor), formerly known as PDEng (Professional Doctorate in Engineering). The 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.

Furthermore, it includes several technical courses about topics relevant to SBC. This part of the program also offers ample opportunity to develop professional skills.
The other half of the program is dedicated to the individual design project in collaboration with a company. It is the trainee’s main responsibility to manage and execute the project. Each trainee is supported by an advisor from the company and an advisor from the university. A business plan for implementation or marketing of the designed product or process is part of the final deliverables.
