Item 1 van 1

Education

Free & open for participants from all Dutch universities & universities of applied science. From 7 – 9 June 2023 in Building Wijnhaven, The Hague.

PhD & postdoc course ‘Safe by Design’

Safety is becoming increasingly relevant in various fields. The renewed focus on Safe by Design (SbD) tries to identify and include safety (along with other important values such as sustainability, security, and circularity) at an early stage of design. Each year we offer PhD course that offers a general outlook on SbD, then dives into different disciplinary perspectives on SbD and its industrial applications and ends with (ethical) reflections on SbD. Deadline is May 1, 2023 or when the course is full.

Road Safety

Road traffic accidents currently result in about 1.25 million deaths each year and leave between 20 and 50 million people with non-fatal injuries. In addition to the impact on human life and safety this also results in significant economic losses. This course will enable the design of safer roads, develop better road safety plans and policies and ensure the presence of the human factor in both policy and design.

Radar Design

Today radar is entering many more new domains of application than the traditional ones of military and civil traffic control, such as weather and climate research, agriculture, water surface pollution, automotive and security systems. Actually too large a diversity of applications to list and discuss all of them.

The course aims at providing understanding on the operation of the various subsystems and how each of them affects the behavior of the integrated system. You will also learn how the various parameters of radar and its design impact the performance in terms of detection range, accuracies, robustness, etc.

Risk in Modern Society

The course Risk in Modern Society sheds light on the broad concept of risk. In five distinctive weeks, this course closely examines various types of safety and security risks, and how these are perceived and dealt with in a wide array of professional and academic fields, ranging from criminology, counter-terrorism and cyber security, to philosophy, safety and medical science. Developed in collaboration with scholars from three universities (Leiden, Delft and Erasmus), this course will search for answers to questions such as: “what is risk?”, “how do we study and deal with risk?”, “does ‘perceived risk’ correspond to 'real' risk?”, and “how should we deal with societal perceptions of risk, safety and security?

Management of Safety, Health & Environment (MoSHE)

Good working conditions and safety on the work floor, managing processes with minimal impact on the environment and balancing safety and security levels with conflicting values and uncertainties are important aspects of efficient and sustainable business operations. With the professional education program Management of Safety, Health & Environment (MoSHE), TU Delft's Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management prepares professionals to play a central role in the day-to-day implementation of safety requirements and the development of future safety policy at companies and institutions.

Forencis Engineering: Learning from Failures

What do collapsed buildings, infected hospital patients, and crashed airplanes have in common? If you know the causes of these events and conditions, they can all be prevented. In this course, you will learn how to use the TU Delft mind-set to investigate the causes of such events so you can prevent them in the future.

Air Safety Investigation

In this course Michiel Schuurman and Calvin Rans will explore the challenges faced by investigators when trying to piece together the probable sequence of events. They will familiarize you with the investigative ways of thinking and forming of conclusions. In fact, you'll learn to think and act as an air safety investigator.

Each year we offer PhD course that offers a general outlook on SbD, then dives into different disciplinary perspectives on SbD and its industrial applications and ends with (ethical) reflections on SbD. The team of lecturers encompasses both more academic and more practice-oriented people from TU Delft, WUR, and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). Group assignments and networking are an important part of the set-up of this course.
