Total:
30 ECTS
In this module you will utilize digital technologies to design safe infrastructures, both on land and on water.
5 ECTS
This module is meant to get you up to speed with the latest European and Dutch design regulations. You will work on the fundamental design of hydraulic structures as used in common water safety problems.
5 ECTS
The Dutch are world famous for our Delta works. Crucial parts in this complex safety system are dykes, polders and sluces. You will look at these flood defense systems from a probabilistic viewpoint: what are the optimal dyke heights in a particular area? Which flood defense systems are most cost effective? What are the financial implications when a hydraulic system fails?
5 ECTS
In this module you develop your project management and communication skills. You will practice with both oral and written communication strategies, and develop the necessary skills to successfully complete the project reports and presentations. Additionally you will receive extra guidance on how to use the English language in an academic setting and learn how to work with Dutch students.
5 ECTS
Much of the water problems in the world occur in urban areas. Cities flood easily, are too dry to promote health and wellbeing for its citizens or do not use sustainable solutions for storing and using rainwater. In this module you will learn which options for sewerage and water storage are available, and how to select the best option for a particular situation and area.
