(Autumn)
Climate change, increasing global population and new technologies call for innovative ideas for our built environment. This exchange programme focusses on ‘Future Cities’.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we cancelled all exchange programmes for autumn 2020. We hope to see you in autumn 2021!
This programme is suitable for students with a field of study in several kinds of engineering programmes.
The future is challenging the way we build our cities. In this module
you will work in interdisciplinary teams on an integral design research for a city district in 2050. You research and design future
solutions that enhance the quality of life, cut cities’ carbon
emissions and build resilience to extreme weather. You research
critical infrastructure services like mobility, energy, food, water and
waste and their impact on urban structure and public space.
This programme can easily be combined with the 15 ECTS programmes Circular Housing, Sustainable Structures or Water Management. This will result in a nice programme of 30 ECTS credits in total, with a focus on sustainable engineering
Guest speakers from the industry of smart mobility, alternative
energy, waste flows, water management, smart cities, etcetera will
share their knowledge and experience to support you in your project
work. You will visit and investigate interesting projects on field trips
in the Netherlands and abroad.
Two years of Bachelor's studies in Architecture/Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Spatial Planning & Traffic Engineering or similar. English at B2 level (IELTS 6.0).
