Committees
The Education Committee
Dutch law requires each programme of study to have a Board of Studies consisting of at least six members. Half of the members of these committees are students, and half are members of the scientific staff. The Board of Studies provides advice concerning the implementation of the Course and Examination Regulations. It also advises the Dean and the Directors of Studies on educational
matters.
in
it
ie
f
The Board of Examiners

The faculty has one Board of Examiners, appointed by the Dean, for all of its
programmes. Each individual MSc programme has a subcommittee consisting of
at least three members. The subcommittee is advised by the Director of Studies
and an academic counsellor. The subcommittee chairs are members of the Board
of Examiners, which provides instructions and guidelines for student assessment. It provides advice concerning the content of the Regulations and Guidelines for the Board of Examiners. The subcommittees are responsible for organising and coordinating all examinations. They are authorised to approve deviations from official regulations, including exemptions and changes to educational
programmes requested by individual students.

Academic Counsellors
The Student Service Desk staff and the academic counsellors are there to help
you find answers to many questions. This may vary from providing standard
information about the degree programme to arranging help with private matters
that may affect your studies.
Studying obviously does not always come easily. For example:
You may want to study, but cant get started; you cant concentrate.
After your initial enthusiasm, you may start to lose interest in your
programme.
You are overly concerned with the enormous (in your perception)
consequences of failing to do well in your programme.
You suffer from dyslexia, RSI or some other condition.
20
You are homesick.

You need some kind of help concerning a quite simple question.
The Academic Counsellor is the first person to consult about such study-related
questions. In some cases, students have personal problems that they would like
to discuss, particularly if the problems are affecting their studies. If your problems seem very serious, the Academic Counsellor can refer you to other professionals, including the student psychologist. Finally, the Academic Counsellor can
help you find solutions that can minimise any delays in your studies.
The Academic Counsellors at the Faculty of EEMCS are:
(AM, EE, CE, ES), A. Masih (Agaby)

Modern Migration Policy Act (MOMI)

For NON-EUROPEAN STUDENTS ONLY!:
The TU Delft is obliged by law to monitor the study progress of international
students residing in the Netherlands on a residence permit. The Modern Migration Policy Act rule concerns
Non-European students with a student residence permit applied for via TU Delft.
A non-EU student must pass at least 50% of the nominal study workload (in
ECTS) in an academic year. In the event of insufficient study progress, the edu21
cational institution will report this to the IND and the residence permit may be
revoked.
If you are on track and obtained at least 50% of your study points in the academic year, you are allowed to continue your study (and renew your residence
permit).
Students are responsible for a valid residence permit. Therefore: please know
what the expiry date of your residence permit(*) is; and make sure that you are
making sufficient study progress by carefully checking OSIRIS. You will find
more information about the rule and exemptions here
(i.e. appendix 16 of the student chapter, of which the complete text can be
found under Regulations.)
in
it
ie
f
If you are NOT on track and obtained at les then 50% of your study points in
the academic year. PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW.
If your overview lacks obtained credits, please contact the OSA: OSA-EWI@

If you study progress is not on track, or you have questions about your study
progress, make an appointment with your academic counsellor to discuss your
situation
ef
April,
you will receive an overview of credits obtained thus far in the current academic
year. If you are on track and obtained at least 50% of your study points in the
academic year, you are allowed to continue your study (and renew your residence permit). Students who have started their study later in the year (for
example in February) need to obtain at least 50% of the proportional part of
their study. So if your study progress is on track, no action is required. Otherwise, you must start taking action.
If your overview lacks obtained credits, please contact the OSA of our faculty:
OSA-EWI@tudelft.nl you study progress is not on track, or you have questions
about your study progress, make an appointment with your academic counselor
to discuss your situation
August,
you will receive your credit overview updated with the results of the July exams.
Again: if your study progress is on track, no action is required. But: If you find
your July overview lacking obtained credits, please contact the OSA of your faculty; If your ECTS could not (yet) be registered due to the fact that it concerns
writing a thesis; an internship; or a study project, please see your supervisor
and have the Study Progress form filled out and signed. After that: see your
academic counselor and have the form signed as well.
22
Then take the form (with relevant enclosures) to the CIO before September
2017.
Deadline mid-September
When results of re-exams have been registered and you have finished the academic year, you will receive a final overview of obtained credits.
If you find your September overview lacking obtained credits, please contact the
OSA of your faculty a.s.a.p.; and
If your ECTS could not (yet) be registered due to the fact that it concerns writing a thesis; an internship; or a study project, please see your supervisor immediately and have this Study Progress form filled out and signed. After that: see
your Academic Counselor and have the form signed as well. Then take the form
(with relevant enclosures) to the CIO before September latest.

Residence Permit Extension

Your residence permit has a limited validity, and generally coincides with the
academic year (Check geldig tot or expiry date). TU Delft organizes Extension
days two months before the expiry date to apply for the renewal of your residence permit. Extension is only possible for students who received positive MoMi
email about the required minimum ECTS credits.
ef
For the extension of your residence permit the CIO need to receive following
documents by email (msc@tudelft.nl):
Copy passport
Declaration for Extension Residence Permit
Antecedents Certificate (IND)
You will receive an email (your student mail account) in September 2017 with a
time slot. The extension of your residence permit costs EUR 156,-; for Turkish
nationals EUR 50,-.
If you have to go abroad before you received your new residence permit card
you might need to apply for a Return VISA (cost EUR 145,-) to enter the Netherlands, see website www.ind.nl. When your residence permit card is ready we will
inform you by email.

Assessment and ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)
ef
in
it
Assessment
Marks for written examinations will be posted as soon as possible, but always
within twenty working days after the examination. The results are posted on
your personal Blackboard page. If you are a registered member, you can obtain
an overview of all your marks to date on Blackboard. In case of doubt, please
consult the Service Desk. Marks for individual exam units are valid for ten years.
Please note, however, that the completion of some course components (e.g.
quizzes, tests, interim examinations, home-work, exercises) may remain valid for
only a very limited time!
ECTS
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is a student-centred
system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a
programme. These objectives are preferably specified in terms of learning outcomes and competences to be acquired. The key features of EC are as follows:
The workload for a full-time student is 60 credits for one academic year. The
student workload for a full-time degree programme in the Netherlands amounts
to 1680 hours per year; one credit therefore represents 28 working hours.
The student workload in EC includes time spent in lectures, seminars, on selfstudy, examination preparation, examinations and other related activities.
Credits in EC are allocated to all study units within a study programme (e.g.
courses, internships, thesis work); they reflect the quantity of work each component requires in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a
24
full year of study within a given programme. Credits in EC can be obtained only
after the required work has been completed and the achieved learning outcomes
have been assessed.

Marking scale and marks

Student performance is expressed in terms of ECTS marks. The ECTS marking
scale ranks students on a statistical basis (see also Table). The Dutch marking
system ranges from 1 (nil) to 10 (excellent). Marks of 6 or higher are considered
passing, while marks of 5,5 or lower are considered failing. In the case of practical work, marks are sometimes replaced by verbal descriptions.

Registering for an examination

Registration process
You can register from 56 calendar days up to 14 calendar days before the start
of the relevant exam. With this registration, you reserve a place as it were in the
exam hall.
An exam taken by a student who did not register will not be graded.
You register as follows:
Students register via Osiris and check Osiris if the registration went correctly.
Students who cannot register via Osiris because of a specific reason, like
PhDers, can register via tentamenloket@tudelft.nl. (English: examdesk@tudelft.
nl)
Students bring their campus card, exam ticket and valid ID to the exam
Checking your registration
in
it
ie
f
After you have registered, you can check Osiris if the registration went correctly.
At Osiris you can find the tab Overview registrations when you access Register . This tab contains all the examinations for which you have registered. At
the start of the exam the invigilator will check if you are registered on the basis
of your campus card and exam ticket.
ef
The exam ticket

After you successfully register for your exam in Osiris, you will receive your
exam ticket. Bring this ticket with you to the exam hall, either in print or on your
mobile device. Depending on the specific exam hall, the invigilator will check the
validity of your exam registration with this ticket. Lost your exam ticket? You can
download a new one from Osiris.
Withdrawal
If you decide not to take an exam, you can cancel your registration in Osiris up
to 3 days before the exam. Cancelled slots will be filled by fellow students on
the waiting list. By cancelling your registration, you thus make a slot available
for a fellow student.
Too late to register?
You can submit a participation request for an exam from 12 until 3 calendar
days before the date of your exam via Osiris. This will place you on a waiting
list. This does not guarantee you a place during the examination, as that will
depend upon the size of the examination hall and whether any students cancel
their registration.
28
The available places in the exam room will automatically be filled with students
from the waiting list. So you can immediately see in Osiris how many students
are before you on the waiting list. You also need to check Osiris if you are
placed from the waiting list.
Where you not accepted after your registration request or did you fail to register
at Osiris in time? Your last resort is reporting to the invigilator, 15 minutes prior
to the start of your exam. Starting from 30 minutes after the exam has begun,
you will be granted access to the exam hall by the invigilator. This is of course
subject to the order of reporting to the invigilator and the availlable places and
exam questions. The 30 minutes you will have missed will not be compensated.
ie
f
Exceptional circumstances
It can of course be the case that you have a good reason for not being able to
register for an exam in time. Such students wanting to appeal on the grounds of
exceptional circumstances can request an exceptional circumstances declaration
from the Board of Examiners of their degree programme. Students with an
exceptional circumstances declaration are placed at the top of the waiting list.
ef
in
it
Admission to the exam hall

To be admitted to the exam hall, you need to bring a campus card, campus
ticket and valid ID with you. Upon entry of the exam hall the invigilator checks
on the basis of your campus card and exam ticket if youre actually signed up for
the exam and that you are assigned to the appropriate exam hall. Without registration you are not entitled to access the exam hall. When handing in the exam
the invigilator will check again if you are registered.
When you forgot your campus card or exam ticket, the invigilator checks using
your ID if you are on the entry list.If you are unable to present a campus card
or another legitimate form of ID, such as a driving licence or passport, you will
not be allowed entry into the exam hall.
Exam process
In the regulations for the conduct of examinations, the tasks and responsibilities
are described in order to lay down how examinations should be conducted. The
code of conduct for students is included in these rules and guidelines. In the
event that these rules are violated, the invigilator will have to submit a report.

Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct
in
it

(EEMCS) pursues an active policy against academic misconduct, failure to contribute to group assignments, copying from the Internet and plagiarism.
ef
The EEMCS Facultys Academic Integrity procedure

All aspects of academic misconduct are treated under the facultys Academic
Integrity procedures. Cases of academic misconduct (including suspected cases)
are always reported to the Board of Examiners. More information about the subsequent action is available on the Student portal EEMCS.
Penalties
If it is proven that a student has breached the code of conduct, the Board of
Examiners can decide to exclude him or her from some or all examinations and
degree audits at TU Delft for a maximum of one year.
The various possible rulings are listed below, by way of example:
If the case of academic misconduct or plagiarism against the student is proven,
a penalty will be imposed: from a minimum of exclusion from the course in
question for the duration of one academic year (the student is therefore given a
second chance) up to a maximum of a one-year exclusion from all courses at TU
Delft.
30
No academic misconduct can be proven against the student but the suspicion
remains. In such cases, the matter is included in the students file by the academic counsellors as a means of establishing any repeat offences.
The student is found not to have committed academic misconduct and the case
is closed. Nothing is included in the students file.
The student receives a letter containing the ruling and the lecturer receives a
copy of the Boards decision.
ie
f
Reporting Academic Misconduct

The Board of Examiners reports all cases of academic misconduct to the academic counsellors and archives this information in a database of academic misconduct to give the faculty a good impression of the numbers involved and the
effectiveness of the measures taken.

Each masters degree programme comprises the following

components:
a. The Master Kick-Off, which provides an introduction to the Masters programme and prepares students to work in a multicultural environment. The
Master Kick-off is a compulsory off-campus event comprising of social activities, lectures, an interdisciplinary project and a workshop on cultural differences.
b. Core courses, which provide the basic knowledge required for all students in
the masters degree programme or in one of its tracks. Core courses are prescribed by each masters degree programme.
c. Specialisation courses, which provide domain specific knowledge.
d. (Free) elective courses, which provide opportunities for students to broaden
their knowledge, gain work or research experience.
e. A thesis project that serves as final assessment of the student.
Each semester the dean issues lists of the core and specialisation courses
offered in the faculty. The lists with these courses are published in the digital
study guide.

1. The thesis project is the last study unit of the programme and serves to
prove that the student acquired the academic competencies of a Master of
Science. The project involves a research or design task with sufficient academic level. The project may be executed within a research programme at
Delft University of Technology, or in a suitable research institute or company.
The project must be executed with a systematic approach and should
include all phases of a research or design project: analysis, modelling, implementation/construction and validation/evaluation. The student executes the
thesis project independently, with guidance of one or more thesis supervisors, at least one of them from the scientific staff of Delft University of Technology.
2. Students must pass the Masters degree course work as stated in their individual exam programme (IEP) to within 3 outstanding courses (with a maximum total of 12 EC) before embarking on the thesis project and have to
obtain a Thesis Entrance Permit (TEP). The process is described in the
EEMCS Graduation Policy (MSc).
3. The thesis project and resultant thesis report should comprise original work
carried out by the student as part of the masters programme.
4. With regard to the thesis project, the thesis supervisor may impose additional conditions for starting the thesis project.
5. Students can present and defend their thesis work only after they have finished all courses as stated in their approved IEP.
Individual exam programme (IEP)

Students draw up their individual exam programme (IEP) according to the

Programme structure, in consultation with the master coordinator and the
prospective thesis advisor.
Students must submit their IEP for approval by the board of examiners
before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year.
If the contents of a compulsory course corresponds to the course contents
of an education course(s) followed in a prior study programme, a student
can apply for exemption from the compulsory course. It must be replaced by
a specialisation course, with at least the same number of credits (ECs).

3.1.5
Examination requirements
ie
f
From Rules and Guidelines of the Board of Examiners (art. 7.12 W.H.W.), Delft
University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and
Computer Science:
The student meets the requirements for the degree audit once the following
have been met:
1. a. a results has been earned for all subjects: a mark, a pass (v) or an
exemption (vr):
b. none of the marks may be lower than 6.0
2. The method of assessment will be transparent so that the student can ascertain how the result was reached.
3. In special cases the Board of Examiners may deviate from the provisions of
subsection 1. It will stipulate additional requirements if necessary.
3.1.6
Language
ef
in
it
Courses are taught and examinations and final examinations take place in English.
The dean can give permission for classes to be taught in Dutch if the particular
nature of the subject, the organisation, the quality of the education or the origin
of the students gives cause for this.
Should a student request permission to complete one or more parts of the

examination or the final examination in a language other than English, this will
be subject to the stipulations of the board of examiners in this regard, as laid
downed in the Rules and Guidelines of the board of examiners.
3.1.7
Composition of the study programme and the nal

examination
1. The composition of the study programme and the relevant transitional regulations are laid down in the Implementation Regulations.
2. The Masters final examination forms part of the programme. The programme has a total study load of 120 credits.
3. It is not permitted for any course in the study programme to have been part
of the Bachelors degree programme on the basis of which the student was
admitted to the programme. If a course in the study programme was already
38
General
completed in the aforementioned Bachelors degree programme, the board

of examiners will designate an alternative course in its place.
3.1.8
Examinations
ef
in
it
ie
f
Number, times and frequency of examinations

1. There are two opportunities in each academic year for written examinations:
1. the first opportunity is immediately after the teaching period for the course
to which the interim exam in question relates,
2. the second opportunity is at the end of the subsequent teaching period during the same academic year, or else during the resit period in August.
2. The frequency of interim examinations is laid down in the Implementation
Regulations. A timetable of all the opportunities for sitting written interim
examinations is drawn up on an annual basis and distributed before the start
of each semester.
3. If absolutely necessary, changes can be made to this interim examinations
timetable but only with the approval of the Board of Examiners and if the
changes are communicated to students through the official means of communication at least 4 weeks in advance. In case of force majeure, deviation
from this period is allowed, only by decision of the Board of Examiners.
4. If an interim examination is part of a course not offered by the faculty of
EEMCS the relevant stipulations in the Teaching and Examination Regulations
of the relevant programme will apply. The Board of Examiners reserves the
right to make decisions that deviate from the norm regarding this matter.
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1, there will be at least one
chance in a year to sit examinations relating to courses not taught in a given
academic year.
6. In exceptional cases, the Board of Examiners may permit a deviation from
the standard number of times that certain examinations can be taken, as
long as the deviation is in favour of the student.
Sequence of examinations
1. If there is a fixed sequence in which students are required to sit interim
examinations and participate in practicals, this will be laid down in the
Implementation Regulations.
2. If there are entry requirements for a course these are specified in the digital
study guide before the start of the education period in which this course is
offered.
3. In exceptional circumstances, the dean may permit a student to take part in
one or more examinations and/or practicals, prior to passing the Bachelors
39
General
audit and/or, if applicable, prior to completing the bridging programme. This

permission is valid for a maximum of one calendar year.
The order of interim examinations
If there is a specific order in which the interim examinations are to be taken,
this shall be published in the digital study guide.
ie
f
Validity of interim examinations

1. The result of an interim examination is valid for an unlimited period. However, in cases where the interim examination result dates from over six years
ago, the Board of Examiners may impose an additional or substitute examination.
2. The terms of subsection 1 likewise apply to component examinations, unless
the validity of the component examination is linked to a period of time in the
study guide.
ef
in
it
The form of examination and method of assessment

1. The interim examinations are set as described in the study guide. Practical
skills are tested during the hours allocated for practical training.
2. The form of the interim examinations is specified in the study guide before
the start of the concerned semester.
3. If there is no indication as to the way an examination is to be set because it
relates to a course not taught by the programme itself, the relevant stipulations in study guide of the relevant programme will apply.
4. The Board of Examiners may, if it so wishes, deviate from the provisions of
subsections 1 and 2, in favour of the student.
Oral examinations
1. Only one student at a time will sit an oral examination, unless the examiner
in question specifies otherwise.
2. Oral examinations will be held in public, unless determined otherwise by
either the Board of Examiners or the individual examiner or unless the student has formally objected to the public nature of the examination.
3. Prior to an oral examination, the examiner must ask the student to provide
proof of identity.
40
General
it
ie
f
Determining and announcing the results

1. The examiner is required to determine the result of an oral examination as
soon as it is finished and to supply the student with a written statement of
the result.
2. In the case of written interim examinations, the examiner is required to
determine the result as soon as possible after the examination but within 15
working days at most. The examiner forwards the necessary details to the
student administration. Taking due account of the students right to privacy,
the student administration then ensures that the results are registered and
published within 20 working days of the examination date. If the examiner is
not able to meet these requirements due to exceptional circumstances, he or
she must inform the Board of Examiners, stating the reasons for the delay.
3. Regarding any examinations that are not taken orally or in writing, the Board
of Examiners shall determine beforehand precisely how and within which
period of time the student will be notified of the results.
4. When receiving the result of an examination, the student will be made
aware of his or her right to inspect the results as referred to in Discussing
the examination results, as well as the opportunity to lodge an appeal with
the Examination Appeals Board.
ef
in
The right to inspect the results

1. For a period of at least 20 working days after notification of the results of
any written examination, the student has the right to inspect his or her
marked work. On request students will be supplied with a copy of the
marked work.
2. During the period referred to in subsection 1, all interested individuals may
acquaint themselves with the questions and assignments set in the examination, as well as with the criteria used for marking.
3. The Board of Examiners may determine that the right to inspection or
perusal referred to in subsections 1 and 2 will take place at a location specified beforehand and at no less than two specific times, also decided on
beforehand. If the student can prove that he/she is or was unable to be
present at the location at the set time due to circumstances beyond his or
her control, then another opportunity will be provided, if possible within the
period stated in subsection 1. The location and times mentioned in the first
sentence will be announced well in advance.
41
General
in
it
ie
f
Discussing the examination results

1. As soon as possible after the results of an oral examination have been
announced, an opportunity can be arranged to discuss the results, either at
the students request or at the instigation of the examiner. At this meeting,
the reasons behind the marks awarded will be explained.
2. For a period of 20 working days after the results have been announced, students who have taken a written examination may submit a request to discuss the results with the relevant examiner. This discussion will take place
within a reasonable time span and at a place and time determined by the
examiner.
3. In cases where a collective discussion is organised by or on the instructions
of the Board of Examiners, a student may only submit a request, as
described in the preceding subsection, if he/she was present at the collective
discussion and if he/she provides a good reason for the request or if, due to
circumstances beyond his/her control, he/she was unable to attend the collective discussion.
4. The provisions of subsection 3 are similarly applicable if either the Board of
Examiners or the examiner first gives the student the opportunity to compare his/her answers with model answers.
5. The Board of Examiners may permit departures from the provisions of subsections 2 and 3.
ef
Adaptations to help students with a disability

Students who have a physical or sensory disability are entitled to adaptations in
teaching, examinations and practicals, on written request. These changes will be
geared as much as possible to a students individual needs, but they must not
affect the quality or the degree of difficulty of a course or an examination programme. The facilities provided to this end may involve adapting the form or
duration of examinations and/or practicals to the students individual situation or
making practical aids available.
The request referred to in subsection 1 should be accompanied by a recent
medical certificate from a doctor or a psychologist. If there is evidence of dyslexia, the request should be accompanied by a document issued by a recognised
dyslexia-testing bureau (i.e. registered with BIG, NIP, or NVO). If possible, this
certificate should also estimate the extent to which the disability forms an obstacle to study progress.
Requests for the adaptation of teaching facilities will be decided upon by the
dean or by the director of studies acting on the deans behalf. The Board of
Examiners will decided on requests for adaptations to examinations.
42
General
ie
f
Exemption from examinations or practicals

1. After having been advised by the relevant examiner, the Board of Examiners
may decide to exempt students from an examination or practical on the
grounds of:
a. an interim examination involving a unit of study that, in terms of content
and study load, was equivalent to a comparable university course in the
Netherlands or beyond, or
b. an examination, final examination or practical completed within the
Dutch higher education system or elsewhere which, as regards content
and study load, corresponds with the examination or practical for which
exemption is sought, or
c. proof of knowledge and/or skills acquired outside the higher education
system.
2. If the relevant examiner has made a fully motivated proposal to this effect,
the Board of Examiners may grant exemption from an interim examination.

Contravention, changes and

implementation
Contravening the regulations
If the (digital) study guide and/or any other regulations relating to the study
programme and/or the examination programme prove to contravene the Teaching and Examination Regulations and the accompanying Implementation Regulations, precedence will be given to the provisions of these Teaching and Examination Regulations in combination with the Implementation Regulations.
43
General
3.3.2
Changes to the regulations

Any changes made to these regulations will be made by special resolution of the
dean. No changes made will affect the current academic year unless it is reasonable to suppose that the interests of students will not be adversely affected.
No change made to these regulations may negatively affect any previous decisions concerning a student that are made by the board of examiners on the
basis of these regulations.
3.3.3
Transitional regulations
ef
in
it
ie
f
1. If the composition of the exam programme undergoes intrinsic changes or if

these regulations are amended, the dean will draw up transitional regulations that will be incorporated into the Implementation Regulations. Such
transitional regulations are required to include:
a provision concerning the exemptions that can be given on the basis of
interim examinations already passed;
a provision specifying the period of validity of the transitional regulations.
2. If a course is removed from the exam programme, e.g. due to a new programme, four opportunities to sit an examination in this course will be
granted after the last classes have been taught: an examination in the last
teaching period of the course, a resit in the same academic year, and two
resits in the subsequent academic year.
3. If a new exam programme is drawn up for a certain year of study, students
that started before that year may change their individual exam programme
with the understanding that they include either all compulsory parts of the
old programme or all compulsory parts of the new programme. Any change
in the individual exam programme (IEP) needs the approval of the Board of
Examiners.
4. Students with an approved IEP may complete this programme, in so far as
courses are available. In the case where courses are no longer available,
they may be substituted by existing courses according to the relevant programme transitions as stated in Part 2. However, the total number of EC of
the IEP must be at least 120 EC.
5. If it is no longer possible to complete a exam programme, students must
submit a new individual exam programme according to the exam programme described in the current implementation regulations.

Big data and cloud computing, multicore processors, heterogeneous accelerators, parallel computing are all emerging technologies that are crucial in many
domains like the economic sectors, but also increasingly in the medical domain.
As future computer engineer, you will be contributing to the design of systems
and computational platforms. You will make sure that the requirements of particular applications are optimally supported, by selecting the right combination
of hardware and software architectures for satisfying specific constraints with
regard to performance, power and cost.
The Master of Science program in Computer Engineering at TU Delft is designed
for students with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering and is unique in providing a holistic view of system design. The program
provides you with the skills that are needed in order to design, develop and use
software and hardware for computer systems. The courses in the program
address the three different aspects of computer engineering: software design,
hardware design and the integration of the two. Understanding the theories that
underlie system software (including programming, operating systems and compilers) will help you to create software designs. In addition, the Computer Engineering program will prepare you for the engineering challenges that lie ahead.
You will learn about modern computer architectures and networks and how to
explain processors and their ability to perform their calculations, in addition to
suggesting methods for optimizing these calculations.
The following research groups at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science provide for the CE program:
Circuits and Systems
Computer Engineering,
Embedded Software
Network Architecture and Services
Parallel and Distributed Systems
Software Engineering

EIT Masters Programme in ICT Innovation

Students in the EIT Masters Programme in ICT Innovation follow a two-year
Masters programme offered by a consortium of universities organized in EIT ICT
Labs Master School. This programme requires that students are enrolled at different universities in the first (entry point) and the second (exit point) year. The
programme is described on the website of the EIT ICT Labs Master school:
http://www.masterschool.eitictlabs.eu/programmes/ .
The Delft University of Technology Computer Science Masters degree will be
awarded if a student has earned for all study units of his or her IEP of the EIT
Masters programme at Delft University of Technology in the first year a V
(passed) or a mark that is greater than or equal to 6, has passed all study units
of the second year of the EIT Masters programme at one of the other EIT ICT
Labs universities;
or if a student has passed all study units of the first year of the EIT Masters
programme at one of the other EIT ICT Labs universities and has earned for all
study units of his or her IEP at Delft University of Technology in the second year
of his or her EIT Masters programme a V (passed) or a mark that is greater
than or equal to 6.
76
Both degrees will be certified with an EIT label. To receive a double degree,
both universities (first and second year) must be represented by full professors
of the ICT departments of these universities in the committee in charge of the
examination of the thesis.

The profile Signal Processing for Communications focuses on physical layer
aspects of (wireless) communication systems, i.e., how to transport information
through a physical radio channel. It covers the fundamental issues of modulation, coding, channel estimation, equalization, and detection of the transmitted
data. Important aspects are further coping with hardware deficiencies (e.g. carrier offset recovery), the exploitation of multiple antennas (MIMO systems), as
well as how to exploit the channel efficiently (channel statistics) using modern
modulation schemes like spread spectrum and Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) and Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) signals. Current research topics focus also on using the communication signal for localization. Applications
are indoor localization, sensor networks, and satellite swarm navigation.

fields. Special attention is given to such areas as array antenna systems and
radar front-ends (beamforming in conventional phased arrays and distributed
MIMO systems, imaging), waveform agility (adaptive selection of the most efficient sensing waveforms such as e.g. LFM, OFDM, UWB and space-time coded
sequences), signal and data processing algorithms for advanced object detection, classification and tracking.
The application areas considered in this profile range from (phased array) Radar
and distributed Radar systems in far-field to microwave vision in intermediateand near-fields including medical imaging (High-field MRI).

Embedded Systems
Embedded systems are hardware/software systems built into devices that are
not necessarily recognized as computerized devices, but these systems do control the functionality and perceived quality of these devices. Some specific examples of embedded systems include: controllers for systems within a car; the
automatic pilot of an aircraft; the chip set and software for smartphones, tablets
and smart TVs; wireless sensor networks for ambient intelligence, a pacemaker;
and control systems embedded in robots/mechatronic machines. The growth
rate in the embedded systems industry is more than 10% per annum and,
according to forecasts, there will be more than 40 billion devices worldwide by
2020.

3. Homologation courses ( 10 EC)

Due to the interdisciplinary character of the Embedded Systems programme,
most students will not have all necessary prior knowledge. They therefore have
to complete homologation courses in one more of the following subjects, which
all represent approx. 2,5 credits worth of study load:
Control Systems, Computer Architecture and Organisation, Algorithms and Data
Structures, Programming skills, Software Engineering, Signal Processing, Digital
Systems, Logic, Embedded Software, Operating Systems, Circuit Analysis. Other
subjects are also possible.

If less than 5 credits worth of homologation courses is required, the students

must chose additional specialisation courses instead.
4. Thesis project (40 EC)
The Thesis project is the last study unit of the program and serves to prove that
the student acquired the academic competencies of a Master of Science. The
project involves a research or design task with sufficient academic level. The
project may be executed within a research program at TU Delft, or in a suitable
research institute or company. The project must be carried out with a systematic
approach and should include all phases of a research or design project: analysis,
modeling, implementation/construction and validation/evaluation. The student
executes the thesis project independently, with guidance of a thesis supervisor
and under the responsibility of the full professor who also approved the IEP.

The Masters degree in Embedded Systems will be awarded if a student has

earned for all units of his/her approved IEP a mark that is greater than or equal
to 6.0.

Education track of the MSc-programme Science Education & Communication (Dutch-speaking students only).
The educational programme is aimed at Dutch-speaking students with a BScbackground in (applied) physics, chemistry, life science & Technology, applied
mathematics or computer science The programme consists of Basisdeel/Ed1 (30
EC) and Verdiepingsdeel/Ed2 (30 EC).
127
The minor Education (Basisdeel/Ed1) can be followed during the bachelors programme and leads to certification as a tweedegraads (grade-two) secondary
school teacher with limited qualification (beperkte bevoegdheid). If a student
has completed the minor Education, only the Verdiepingsdeel/Ed2 of 30 EC
remains for the master programme specialisation. The combination of the minor
Education and Ed2 specialisation leads to certification as a fully-qualified eerstegraads (grade-one) secondary school teacher. The qualification will be mentioned on the master diploma.
Students that did not complete the minor Education can follow the Basisdeel/
Ed1 specialisation as part of their masters 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 coordinator, M.A.F.M. Jacobs.

1. SET3012 is equivalent to SET3013

SET3013 will substitute SET3012 in the study programme, however, the
course set-up is different. In the year 2016-2017 there are two opportunities
to take the exam of SET3012. We strongly advice the students of cohort
2015 and earlier* who need a resit of SET3012, to take the exam of
SET3012 in 2016-2017. Students who follow the lectures of SET3013, have
to do the exam of SET3013. As of 2017-2018 there will be no opportunity to
take the exam SET3012.
2. AES1305SET will not run anymore from 2016-2017
In the year 2016-2017 the students of cohort 2015 and earlier1 who need a
resit for AES1305SET, have two opportunities to take this exam. As of 20172018 there will be no opportunity to take the exam AES1305SET. If the resits
are not passed, the exam committee has to decide on a substitute.
A student who subscribed before May 1st 2015 is considered to belong to cohort 2015 or
earlier. Students subscribed from May 1st 2015 are considered cohort 2016.
