Professional Doctorate in Engineering
Is your organization searching for a multidisciplinary technological designer or do you want to offer your employees a highly qualified technological designer training?
Is your organization searching for a design solution for a technical problem?
In that cases, a PDEng trainee might be an interesting option for you.
Professional Doctorate in Engineering
The PDEng (= Professional Doctorate in Engineering) trainee follows a 2 year post-Master’s designer programme at the University of Twente. In consultation with the organization, this tailor made programme will be designed to educates trainees who are able to to design high level, creative and renewing designs for complex issues with a multidisciplinary character. Amongst others, this means that the trainee can:
§ |
Create a design for multidisciplinary issues individually |
§ |
Give input on larger projects both individually and together with colleagues |
§ |
Change quickly between different kind of levels |
§ |
Give direction to the realization of a design with a team. |
The PDEng programme offers a combination of an educational part at the University and a practical design part at an organization:
§ |
The courses in the educational part has a broadening and in-depth character, with ample attention for professional development of the trainee. The courses will provide the trainee the necessary (non)technological background to evaluate the effects of a technology in the industrial context. In consultation with the company, the programme will be tailor made. |
§ |
During the practical part of the programme, the trainee will spend his time working in industry on a challenging and innovative technological design project – a real problem that needs to be solved. This project will integrate a number of (sub-)disciplines. The trainee will be supervised by both engineers from industry as well as by university staff. So the trainee is supported by scientific knowledge, practical design experience and project management expertise. |

PDEng at Twente – An initiative of the 3TU
Hundreds of companies already use the PDEng programmes of the technical universities in the Netherlands successfully. The 3 TU’s provide the designer tracks also know by Stan Ackermans Instituut, 3TU School for Technological Design.
