Victor Brouwers participated in the Netherlands Asia Honours Summer School (NAHSS) and tells us about his experiences:

“As if you are smothered in a sandstorm made of humid air; that was my first impression of Chengdu after leaving the plane. After having lived towards this moment for months, it was finally there. Together with my highly varied group of students I stepped into an adventure like never before. I would complete a consulting project for PricewaterhouseCoopers and study in China for about 5 weeks.

We were at the beginning of our five weeks in Chengdu, where we would grow closer with the other project groups, follow ‘Chinese Language’ and ‘Modern Society and Politics’ at Sichuan University, get overwhelmed by the spicy local food and bring our project to a successful end, only to then go to Shanghai for the closing week with NAHSS’ers from the other cities”.

In today’s TU Delft TV video, Temitope Agbana explains how to detect a tropical disease by a smartphone. TU Delft students worked with him on finding a new method for detection and measuring the infection.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease which accounts for almost 200,000 deaths a year and affects over 285 million people worldwide.

We want to improve your study experience at TU Delft. Easily finding the information you need as a student is very important for that. Therefore, we are looking for students who want to think along with us about student communication. How can we improve our website, our newly launched MyTUDelft app or other communication.

To build a swing or floor out of glass is a fun way to make people aware of the structural potential of glass. We all agree that glass is beautiful, but not everyone is convinced that it can also be safe. The glass and transparency group at TU Delft has been researching how to design and engineer safe glass structures.

Calvin Rans! Calvin, assistant professor in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (AE), has been chosen TU Delft’s Best Lecturer of 2018.

He is well known as a very approachable and engaged lecturer, who asks students for feedback in order to further improve his lectures. His students are highly enthusiastic about the courses he lectures on: his first year course Mechanics of Materials is taught in a blended way, linking in with students’ questions, and he manages to make the ‘tough’ second-year course, Structural Analysis & Design, interesting by using examples that bring the theory to life.

Rans was named Best AE Teacher and was nominated by the VSV ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ study association for the TU Delft Best Lecturer Election, in which all eight faculties complete. A judging panel made up of Vice-President of Education Rob Mudde, members of the Student Council, the Study Associations Council and last year’s winner, chose TU Delft’s Best Lecturer from the eight lecturers nominated. The winner goes on to compete for the national title of the Teacher of the Year organised by the Dutch National Students Association (ISO), the results of which will be announced on 13 April 2019.

Visit the information sessions at your faculty during the TU Delft Study Abroad week from 12 until 19 November. You will be well informed about the application process, scholarships and other practical issues for a great exchange experience. For more information go to the website of your faculty.

The participating Faculties are 3ME, AS, BK, CEG, EEMCS, IDE and  TPM.
