Health & Safety, University Emergency
Services
Like the staff of TU Delft, students are entitled to a safe and healthy work-place/
study space. This also entails the obligation to act in the interests of your own
safety and that of others. The Netherlands has working conditions legislation
(‘ARBO legislation’) in place governing safety standards and rules of conduct.
TU Delft also has specific environmental, health & safety rules.
Basic rules
Students may not enter technical areas. Performance of actions and experiments
involving an element of risk are only permitted on the instruction of and with
permission of the supervisor. Anyone who suspects that he or she may be
exposed to risk in the performance of an assignment may refuse that assignment and contact the Health & Safety Adviser concerning the matter.
Undesirable behaviour
Aggression, sexual intimidation, threats, pestering and discrimination are considered undesirable behaviour and are not tolerated. Undesirable behaviour can be
reported to the Executive Board. You can also contact your faculty’s confidential
adviser, who can handle complaints discretely.

Smoking prohibited
TU Delft is a non-smoking institution. Smoking is not permitted anywhere except
in the smoking areas and locations where smoking is temporarily permitted. Violation of the non-smoking rule is considered undesirable behaviour. Anyone who
is being disturbed by smoking can report it to the Health & Safety Adviser or the
confidential adviser.
Computer work
Intensive computer work can lead to neck and upper body problems. These conditions are commonly referred to as ‘RSI.’ The chance of RSI is increased when
working under pressure, in situations such as completing a thesis. Advanced RSI
is very difficult to cure and should be avoided at all costs. Make sure your working posture is always correct and take short work breaks at regular intervals.
One useful tool to help you do this is the ‘Workpace’ programme.
The Health & Safety Adviser can help you and evaluate your workspace.
Emergencies and University Emergency Services
TU Delft has a University Emergency Services organisation. The members of the
University Emergency Services organisation are known to the staff. They perform first aid and act in the event of an emergency Any time you are injured,
always seek treatment. Always report any accidents or near-accidents to University Emergency Services.
In the event of fire, a work-related accident or a dangerous situation, follow
these rules:
• A ‘slow whoop’ siren over the public address system indicates that an alarm
has been sounded.
Follow the instructions immediately.
• Get yourself to safety and warn others.
• In the event of fire, activate a fire alarm.
• In the event of an emergency, dial the emergency number (112) on a land
line and answer the questions.
• Follow the instructions of University Emergency Services personnel.
For more information, see www.tudelft.nl and follow the links to ‘Staff,’ ‘A-Z

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 can’t get started; you can’t 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.
• 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:
Mrs. J.M.A. Kooijman, MSc;
Mrs. G. Rijnbeek, MSc;

Teaching Formats and Attendance
Study units can have the following formats:
• Lecture
A lecture held by a professor or other staff member for a (large) group of students
• Instruction
Working in small groups, students complete exercises and solve problems by
applying the course material. It is essential for students to participate actively
and prepare by studying the course material.
• Tutorials
A staff member discusses a number of typical exercises. Each student works
individually and tries to complete the exercises in advance.
• Guided self-study
Students work independently on a subject, without lectures, instruction or tutorials. A staff member is available for guidance.
• Project
Students work either in groups or individually on a scientific or technical problem. The objective is to apply their knowledge to solving a complex problem
within a restricted time.
• Problem-oriented education
Students work in a group on a complex problem without the necessary prior
knowledge. It may be necessary to collect information from several disciplines.
The students acquire new knowledge during the learning process.
• Laboratory work
Students perform experimental work in a laboratory guided by an assistant.
31
Study Guide 2014/2015

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
• Research
Students perform experimental or theoretical work on a new subject within one
of the research groups.
• Attendance
During teaching periods, students are expected to attend the lectures and tutorials. Attendance at the laboratory practicals is mandatory. Given the intensity of
the MSc programme, we strongly advise against taking a leave of absence during these teaching periods, as such absences can result in missing essential lectures. The faculty is not responsible for delays in study progress resulting from
such actions, and they will not take remedial action.
2.1.8
Assessment and ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)
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
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.

Programme Evaluation
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science aims
to improve the courses it offers. We therefore ask your opinion on the programme in two ways. Firstly, the student associations and the faculty organise
‘lecture response meetings’ with groups of students to discuss courses of the
current semester. In some cases, these meetings also include the instructors
who are involved, as well as the appropriate Director of Studies. The results are
used to improve the quality of the courses. Secondly, the faculty asks students
to complete questionnaires. These questionnaires contain standard questions,
and the results are published as statistics. We urge you to participate in these
evaluation activities, as the results play an important role in the improvement of
our programmes.

Harassment
Harassment is inappropriate behaviour (e.g. teasing, mocking, gossiping, bullying, sexual or racial intimidation, violence and discrimination). The key component of such behaviour is intimidation (whether physical or psycho-logical) that
creates an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse. If you are confronted with
any kind of unwanted behaviour, please immediately consult our harassment
officer, Mrs. Marion de Vlieger, tel. +31 (0)15 27 86180.
The harassment officer will work with you to decide how to proceed. Such situations are obviously handled in strict confidence. Additional information is available on the following website: www.tudelft.nl/ongewenstgedrag or

2.1.22
Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
(EEMCS) pursues an active policy against academic misconduct, failure to contribute to group assignments, copying from the Internet and plagiarism.
The EEMCS Faculty’s Academic Integrity procedure
All aspects of academic misconduct are treated under the faculty’s 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.
No academic misconduct can be proven against the student but the suspicion
remains. In such cases, the matter is included in the student’s 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 student’s file.
The student receives a letter containing the ruling and the lecturer receives a
copy of the Board’s decision.
39
Study Guide 2014/2015

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
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.
2.1.23
Cultural Aspects
ACADEMIC ATTITUDE
In the Netherlands, the objective of higher education is to produce graduates
who are critical, independent thinkers. This is reflected in both the curriculum
and the way in which knowledge and skills are transferred to students. To promote an autonomous attitude, the academic curriculum focuses largely on analysing and problem solving in groups, and on the preparation of papers. Relatively little attention is paid to the simple reproduction of information. Students
are expected to know where to find the information they need and to make critical use of it. The university is no longer the ivory tower it once was. There are
now many links between university research and society. Scientific research is
becoming increasingly focused on the needs of society. This is also reflected in
the academic programmes; students carry out practical work assignments as
part of their studies, and they receive practical, on-the-job training at companies. Many university programmes aim to develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills in students from the start, and this is especially true of engineering programmes.
In general, a Master’s degree programme requires students to be independent
learners and use their own initiative. You will do much of your learning alone.
Lectures are alternated with group work; the average group meets for two hours
each week. Lecturers assemble material into readers, which form the backbone
of most courses. In addition, however, you will need to find material in libraries.
You are expected to use your own initiative if any problems arise, whether they
involve the organisation of the programme, the subject matter or a specific lecturer. You should talk with someone about the problem; you can always turn to
your coordinator or the academic counsellors, who will listen and do their best
to help.

Study load and duration
Each master’s degree programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and
starts annually in September. It is also possible to start the Master’s degree programme in the second semester, but students are advised that there might be
dependencies on first semester courses. This could limit the choice of courses to
be followed by students who start the master’s’ programme in the second
semester.
3.1.2
Programme structure
Each master’s degree programme comprises the following components:
a The Master Kick-Off (EWI4000), which provides an introduction to the Master’s 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 master’s degree programme or in one of its tracks. Core courses are prescribed by each master’s 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.

General
3.1.3
The thesis project
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 Master’s 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 master’s 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.
3.1.4
Individual exam programme (IEP)
1 Students draw up their individual exam programme (IEP) according to the
Programme structure, in consultation with the master coordinator and the
prospective thesis advisor.
2 Students must submit their IEP for approval by the board of examiners
before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year.
3 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 (EC’s).

3. Prior to an oral examination, the examiner must ask the student to provide
proof of identity.
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

General
working days at most. The examiner forwards the necessary details to the
student administration. Taking due account of the student’s 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.
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.
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 student’s 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.

General
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.
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 student’s 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 student’s 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 dean’s behalf. The Board of
Examiners will decided on requests for adaptations to examinations.
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
50
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
3
General
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.
3.2
Entry requirements for courses
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.
3.3
Contravention, changes and
implementation
3.3.1
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.
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 reason-able
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.
51

General
3.3.3
Transitional regulations
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.
The Teaching and Examination Regulations, together with the accompanying Implementation Regulations
The Teaching and Examination Regulations, together with the accompanying
Implementation Regulations, will always be published on the programme’s website.

Embedded Systems
8.2.1
Composition of the Master’s degree programme in
The programme has a duration of two years (120 EC) and starts each year in
September. It is also possible to start the Master’s degree programme in the
second semester. In that case, however, students might experience some problems due to dependencies between some of the courses taught in the first
semester and some of the courses in the second semester. Nevertheless, the
courses in the master programme will be scheduled in such a way that it is possible to compose an individual exam programme consisting of a limited choice of
courses in which the successor relation-ships are almost not violated. Students
should realize, however, that starting in the second semester could take some
extra effort.
Each year the dean issues a list of courses that belong to the list of specialisation courses. This list is published in the digital study guide and in the Master’s
Study Guide.
Students must submit their individual exam programme for approval by the
board of examiners before the start of the fourth quarter of the first year.
The composition of the study programme is as follows:
a. Core programme worth 25 credits,
b. Specialisation subjects worth at least 15 credits,
c. Homologation courses worth at most 20 credits,
d. An optional internship worth at most 20 credits or a multi-disciplinary design
project worth 10 credits, but not both,
e. A graduation work (40 EC), further, comprising preparation for the graduation project worth 10 credits, and the graduation project worth 30 credits.
Specialisation courses may also be selected from the list of specialisation
courses of the Embedded Systems programmes of the TU/e (http://www.tue.nl/
en/education/tue-graduate-school/masters-programs/embedded-systems/masters-program/) or the UT (http://www.utwente.nl/master/ems/programme/)

Master Annotation Entrepreneurship
Introduction
Are you a master’s student with ambitions to start up your own business? Are
you on the threshold of doing so, do you want to keep your options open or do
you just want to learn more about entrepreneurship? The annotation entrepreneurship on master’s level is developed to help you gain more knowledge in and
prepare yourself for entrepreneurship. The annotation is an entrepreneurial
accent of your regular Master program.
Program
MSc students who are interested in entrepreneurship can opt for the new master annotation ‘entrepreneurship’, which trains students to be entrepreneurs,
through a combination of modules and a graduation project that partly focuses
on marketing a service or product. Entrepreneurship can mean starting up your
own business, but can also stand for entrepreneurship in a more general context, such as innovation at existing companies, take-overs, spin-outs, etc. Students, who complete the annotation successfully, receive an annotation with
their degree.
For more information on the annotation ‘entrepreneurship’ check out our
website www.dce.tudelft.nl or the MSc-coordinator: Dr. Linda Kamp,

TUD Design Challenge
What is the TUD Design Challenge?
The TUD Design Challenge offers second year Master’s students a unique opportunity to demonstrate how innovative and creative they are. Inspired by Stanford University’s ‘design school’ formula, student teams combine their entrepreneurial, engineering and design skills to develop practical solutions for the real
world innovation problems of our business partners. This is your chance to solve
challenging innovation problems in a multi-disciplinary team of the most motivated and talented students from various faculties. You will receive on the job
training from a senior coach, plus weekly feedback and support from our ‘client’
partners.
The TUD Design Challenge is a project course developed for second year Master’s students just before their thesis work. It is open to students from all faculties across Delft University of Technology. We are looking for students with a
background in science, engineering, design or management. Project teams of
four to five students start every September and February. The projects last five
months, requiring roughly a halftime commitment.
There is a strong drive towards innovation. Project assignments encompass:
opportunity identification and analysis, design iterations, testing and delivering
the final solution (perhaps as a prototype) with a business plan. The solution

3 FORMAL PROCEDURES
1. The Master’s Thesis Project is the final part of the EEMCS master’s degree
programmes and aims to show that the student has acquired the academic
competences for the degree ‘Master of Science’.
2. The Master’s Thesis Project comprises 40 - 45 ECTS and should take a maximum of nine months of work. In the programme Microelectronics explicit
prototyping and field testing the period may be longer and is the project
extended to 60 ECTS, i.e. a year.
3. The student can only start with his Master’s Thesis Project when he/she has
an approved IEP and has successfully completed all of the compulsory
courses of the master programme. Only 12 EC of elective courses may still
be open. In order to show that the student meets the criteria, he or she
should hand in a TEP (Thesis Entrance Permit, ask at Service desk) to the
thesis advisor before starting the master thesis assignment.
4. The Master’s Thesis Project consists of a research or design assignment. The
Master’s Thesis Project will be assessed on basis of a written report, an oral
presentation and defense. The assessment will be done by a thesis committee.
5. The Board of Examiners appoints the thesis committee. The professor
responsible for graduation proposes a thesis committee more than 3 months
before defense.(See R&G. art.27.2) (Use form: “Application form Members of
MSc Thesis Committee”)
6. At least 3 months before defense, the thesis committee is installed by the
Board of Examiners. The thesis committee is nominated by the responsible
professor in whose area the Master’s Thesis Project has taken place.
7. A thesis committee will be appointed by or on behalf of the Board of Examiners for the supervision and assessment of Master’s Thesis Project. This
committee will consist of a core of three members:
1) the chair (a full professor or associate professor of the faculty),
2) a full professor, associate or assistant professor of the faculty,
3) a full professor, associate or assistant professor or an external expert.
One of the core members must be from a different field and is a full professor, associate or assistant professor of an university. There may be additional
members from the ranks of researchers, PhD students and internal and
129
Study Guide 2014/2015
10
Graduation policy
external experts. The core members, appointed by the Board of Examiners,
determine the thesis grade. (See also R&G art. 27.1)
8. Students can present and defend their final thesis work only after they have
finished all courses as stated in their approved IEP.
9. The defense consists of a public session. During this session the student will
give a presentation on the Master’s Thesis Project and will be questioned by
the thesis committee, after which the thesis committee determines the
grade.
10.Thirty working days before the defense (See R&G art. 12.1), the student
applies for the final examination by the Board of Examiners by submitting
the form “EEMCS MSc Final Examination” at the Service desk.
11.At least five working days before the defense the student uploads a pdf of
the final version of the thesis report in the electronic TU Delft repository.
(http://www.library.tudelft.nl/collecties/tu-delft-repository/)
12.The Board of Examiners assesses whether the student has completed all
parts of his master programme and may enter the final graduation ceremony.
13.At the graduation ceremony the student receives the Master diploma and
has to sign it.
4 GETTING STARTED
1. Ultimately three months before starting the actual thesis work, the student
should decide upon a specialisation. To start, the student shows his IEP and
TEP to the thesis advisor. In consultation with the thesis advisor, the student
will select a thesis topic. In addition, a daily supervisor (tutor) or an advisor,
from the company where the thesis research is conducted, may be assigned.
The thesis topic should comply with the research area of the thesis advisor.
2. The Master’s Thesis Project may be done within a research programme of
the university, or within another suitable context, e.g. a research institute or
enterprise. Companies should be aware that the Master’s Thesis Project may
require some freedom for academic work which may not directly contribute
to the company’s own business process.
130
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
10
Graduation policy
3. The thesis should have sufficient academic depth. The project, being either
a research or design project should be performed by following a systematic
approach, and the assignment should cover all phases of a research/design
project including an explicit modelling/implementation/building phase, and a
validation/evaluation of the results.
4. Within the first month after the start of the project, the student should write
a short proposal with objectives and a planning of deliverables and milestones. (Use: “EEMCS Master’s Thesis Project Proposal Guidelines: Milestones, Deliverables and Phasing”). The thesis advisor assesses the proposal
on feasibility and academic depth, and may suggest modifications.
5. The student should indicate in advance whether he is available fulltime. If
not, he has to make provisions with the research group or company to do
the assignment part time.
5GUIDANCE
1. The student should carry out the project autonomously under guidance of a
thesis advisor. Each student carries out his or her own Master’s Thesis Project., even in case of a complex project carried out by a team of students.
2. The student and the thesis advisor (and the daily supervisor) meet on a twoweekly or three-weekly basis to discuss the progress. The student should
provide an agenda and a written progress report for the meetings describing
the progress and the main discussion items. In between the meetings the
student may ask the daily supervisor for technical assistance.
3. For the specified milestones (Use: “EEMCS Master’s Thesis Project Proposal
Guidelines: Milestones, Deliverables and Phasing”), the student submits a
progress report (a preliminary chapter of the thesis report) and describes (or
demonstrates) the intermediate results and findings. The supervisors will
give feedback on the results and will indicate whether the project is still on
track. In all cases, the student is assumed to take initiative and to guard the
progress of the project.
4. The student should participate in the colloquia of the chosen specialisation.
Halfway through the project, the student should give a midterm presentation
on the project e.g. at a colloquium, in presence of his advisors.
5. During the project, and in particular near the end, the student should start
writing the thesis report and should hand in chapters for reviewing to the
131
Study Guide 2014/2015
10
Graduation policy
thesis advisor and daily supervisor. The thesis advisor should give feedback
within reasonable time (within two weeks).
6. Forty working days before the planned defense, the student should hand in
a final version of the thesis report for approval by the thesis advisor.
7. Thirty working days before the planned defense the thesis advisor gives
approval (“green light”) to the student. With the green light the student can
apply for the final examination. Use form: “EEMCS MSc Final examination”.
6 THESIS REPORT
1. The thesis report documents the results of the Master’s Thesis Project (Use:
“Guidelines for writing a report”). It contains an account of the work, the
followed procedure, intermediate milestones and the decisions taken.
2. The thesis report must be written in English.
3. The thesis report has a title page which contains the title of the thesis, the
date of the thesis defense, the name and student number, the chosen specialisation, the master programme, the faculty EEMCS, and TU Delft.
4. The thesis report contains a preface that explains the topic of the thesis, the
context (institute or company), the main findings in a few lines and the
names of the members of the thesis committee. The preface may end with a
few acknowledgements, and completed with name and date.
5. The thesis report contains an introduction chapter that introduces the main
research themes and gives an overview of the report.
6. The thesis report contains a chapter with prior art that describes previous
work and scientific publications relevant for the topic. This chapter reformulates the research questions in a form that complies with the state of the art
in the field.
7. The thesis report contains several chapters that describe the performed
work.
8. The thesis report concludes with a concluding chapter with a discussion of
the results, and recommendations and suggestions for future research.
132
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
10
Graduation policy
9. The thesis report may contain a scientific paper about the work, often written together with the thesis advisor, added as an appendix.
10.The thesis report will be made public after the assessment by the thesis
committee, unless the organisation in which the Master’s Thesis Project has
taken place considers that its publication would harm its interests (e.g. patents, knowledge, market figures). The organisation or the thesis advisor can
submit a request concerning confidentiality for some parts to the Board of
Examiners. The members of the thesis committee, however, should have
access to the full report.
11.At least five working days before the defense the student uploads a pdf of
the final version of the thesis report in the electronic TU Delft repository.
(http://www.library.tudelft.nl/collecties/tu-delft-repository/)
7DEFENSE
1. At the same moment of approval of the thesis report by the thesis advisor,
the so called “green light”, a date for the defense is set (Use form: “EEMCS
MSc Final examination” and count thirty working days for administration).
The student will make a reservation for a room/lecture hall.
2. At least twenty working days before the date of the thesis defense the student will supply a digital or printed copy of the final thesis report to the
members of the Thesis Committee. Exceptions can be made upon agreement with the thesis advisor.
3. Ultimately after ten working days the thesis committee sends her reaction
and eventually her request for completion to the student and thesis advisor.
The student has five working days to incorporate the remarks into the
report.
4. Ten working days before the defense the student sends a clear announcement of the thesis defense to the committee members, to the staff of the
department of the chosen specialisation with the title of the thesis, the place
of the defense, the date and time, the committee, and the abstract of his
project (250 words). If the student desires, he or she may also invite family
and friends.
5. Prior to the session, the student checks the room and the equipment (portable, beamer). After the session the student takes care that the room is
brought back in order.
133
Study Guide 2014/2015
10
Graduation policy
6. The public session starts with a short introduction by the chair of the thesis
committee, introducing the candidate, the topic of the project, the members
of the thesis committee and the examination procedure.
7. The student gives a 30-40 minutes presentation on the project. This should
cover all aspects and phases of the project, starting with a clear problem
definition and ending with conclusions. The presentation should be on a
level that addresses the colleague students, i.e. it is not intended as a layman’s presentation. After the presentation 10 minutes are reserved for questions from the audience.
8. After the presentation and discussion, the thesis committee examines the
candidate about the thesis. This will take a maximum of one hour and each
committee member must have the opportunity to discuss the work in detail
with the candidate.
9. After the examination, the committee withdraws to make their conclusion
upon the grade.
8ASSESSMENT
1. The thesis committee assesses the thesis and the defense on the following
criteria:
– Quality of work: novelty, volume, grasp, methodology, publishable (40%)
– Personal performance: autonomy, planning, creativity, attitude (30%)
– Quality of thesis report: clarity, organisation, argumentation (20%)
– Oral presentation and defense: clarity, focus, relevance, discussion
(10%)
These criteria are published in the study guide and should be known to the
student beforehand. (Use “Thesis evaluation form”).
2. The voting members of the thesis committee determine the final grade. The
grade should reflect a weighted average of the four scores above, but need
not to be an exact arithmetical mean. The final mark starts from 5 up to and
10. Marks ending in .5 may also be used.
3. If the student shows excellence (is nominated for a 10) the chair of the thesis committee should consult the chair of the Board of Examiners, at least
five working days in advance of the defense. The chair may advice to add an
extra member to the thesis committee.
134
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
10
Graduation policy
4. The motivation for the grade at each of the four criteria as listed above is
summarized on a form (Use: “Thesis evaluation form”) and signed by the
chairman of the thesis committee. The candidate is given a short account of
the assessment, either in private or in front of the audience.
9DISPUTES
1. In case of disputes between the student and the daily supervisor or/and the
thesis advisor, the student may consult the MSc coordinator. If this does not
lead to a solution, disputes can be brought before the Board of Examiners.
2. The student may make an appeal against decisions of, and the treatment by
the Thesis Committee, at the TUD’s Examinations Appeals Board, on the
basis of article 7.60 of the WHW. However, there can be no discussion on the
grade.
10SUMMARY of PROCEDURE
