The Bachelor's programme of Civil Engineering is a 3-year programme, with each 4 modules within (one module per quartile). Each module is a coherent block of courses, that all come together in a module project. The modules all focus on a specific theme within Civil Engineering, be it related to construction, transport or water . In learning about construction, you will study the functional design of structures and the management of the construction process. Transport is about the combination of infrastructure, mobility and sustainable transport systems. Studying water and water management involves disciplines such as fluid mechanics and dynamics, and areas like water and coastal management, reservoirs, water flows and flood protection. A field of expertise the Dutch are famous for! For more information about the curriculum, click here !

The structure of the modules is as follows:

Module 1: Introduction to Civil Engineering

In the first module, you are introduced to the many aspects within Civil Engineering. With courses such as Mechanics I, Mathematics, Construction Materials, Matlab Programming and the project, you will get a grasp of the things that go on in CE-world, learn the basics of designing structural systems and are able to compare the behaviour of different construction materials.

Module 2: Water Management

The second module focusses on the first core theme within Civil Engineering: Water. With courses such as Fluid Mechanics I, Water, Mathematics, Policy Processes and the project, you will gain insight in the behaviour of water systems. Furthermore, you learn the effects of human intervention in water systems, both on the water systems themselves and on the human coexistence with them. 

Module 3: Traffic and Transport

The third module focusses on the second core theme within Civil Engineering: Transport. With courses such as Statistics, Mathematics, Traffic and Infrastructure, Traffic Demand Modelling and the project, you will better understand how traffic networks work, how to analyse traffic data and get to know the basis of transport planning.

Module 4: Design of Constructions

The fourth module focusses on the third and last core theme within Civil Engineering: Construction. With courses such as Mechanics II, Mathematics, System Engineering, Circular Finances and the project, you will look at the whole life-cycle of a building project. Each and every stage of the building project is assessed, simulating a real-life project. 

Module 5: Safety and Risks in Deltas

The fifth module is all about water-related safety and risks. With courses such as Fluid Mechanics II, (the last) Mathematics, Soil Mechanics, Water Management and the project, you will get answers to questions such as 'How is the safety and risks mechanism for dikes regulated?', 'What is the consequence of a dike breach on the hinterland?' and 'What different failure mechanisms are there?'. 

Module 6: Sustainability and Civil Engineering

The sixth module teaches about ways to meet all the human needs, whilst also preserving the environment as good as possible. With courses such as Structural Mechanics,  Environmental Impact of Materials, Social Sustainability, Energy Use in Built Environment and the project, you learn about the environmental impact accompanying the use of certain construction materials, analyse and compare the sustainable impacts of civil engineering systems and broaden your view on sustainability in general.

Module 7: Urban Development/Spatial Planning

In the seventh module the issues accompanying urban development projects are highlighted. With courses such as Spatial Policy and Law, Spatial Economics, Stakeholder Analysis and Management and GIS-modelling, your eyes will be opened how complex such projects are and how to deal with all these different needs and demands. Furthermore, you will gain experience with GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and how to best use it to extract, store and analyse geo-information.

Module 8: Modelling/Optimizing Transport Precesses

The eight module is about traffic flow optimization-processes, such as in big parking lots or patient waiting times in hospitals. There are courses such as Traffic Flow Dynamics, Micro Simulation and Heuristics. You do for example, with a certain uncertainty, know how many visitors a hospital has, but their arrival time, staying time, route of transport etcetera all have different uncertainties. In this module, you learn to model and analyze complex real-world problems in which uncertainty is involved.

Module 9 (minor 1): Free of choice ; Multi-Functional Flood Defences

In your minor you can choose to follow a module of your interest. This can be deepening or broadening, at the UT, another university in the Netherlands or abroad. All is open

The civil engineering related minor is Multi-Functional Flood Defences. During this minor, you will adress an interdisciplenary design of a flood defence. You will develop an integral solution, taking use functions, spatial planning, building with nature, subsoil characteristics and stakeholder management all into account. As end-product, a scale-model (maquette) has to be made.  

Module 10 (minor 2): Free of choice ; Smart Ways to make Smart Cities Smarter

The civil engineering related minor is Smart Ways to make Smart Cities Smarter. During this minor, you zoom in from Smart Cities concepts to a specialized design. You will gain in-depth knowledge of how the construction of Smart Cities affects the physical urban built environment, andy you will get to know whether and how such Smart City solutions can be implemented in existing city space.

Module 11: Preparation for Bachelor's Thesis

Module 11 is all about the preparation for your Bachelor's Thesis. Before you can start your own research for the Bachelor's Thesis, several fundamental questions have to be answered. In module 11, the focus is on the production of knowledge in the field of civil engineering. In this, special attention goes to the central role of models, the role of actors within the production and dissemination of knowledge and how to set-up a project plan for research projects.

Module 12: Bachelor's Thesis

The Bachelor is to be finished with the Bachelor's Thesis, an assignment in which you prove you have sufficient knowledge to carry out your own research in the field of civil engineering and work and report systematically. It can be carried out in a civil engineering organisation (company or research institute), either in the Netherlands or abroad.

Radio Systems newsletter - April 2024

The Radio Systems group of the University of Twente provides expertise in physical layer design of Wireless Communications and Sensing systems. In our research and education, we focus on Radio Propagation and Channel Modelling, Antenna Systems, and Signal Processing with applications in health, sustainability and connectivity. Our aim is to interconnect anything, anywhere, anytime under all conditions and to exploit unobtrusive wireless monitoring.

This is the sixth edition of our biannual newsletter. The aim is to give an update  about our research and educational activities. We also share here more general information concerning interesting conferences and developments.

The Radio Systems group is gradually starting up its activities within the Future Network Services project. The project is split into two phases where the first phase has been granted and the second phase is conditionally granted. Radio Systems participates in the first phase with 2 PhD students and in the second phase with 3 PhD students. PhD students for the first phase are currently being recruited. The research topics are ‘Joint Communication and Sensing’ and ‘Digitally Enhanced Analog’.

In the context of Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS), a.k.a., Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), Yang Miao and Andre Kokkeler secured the UT-UW (Waterloo) Strategic Fund aiming at applying ISAC in health monitoring. This is a collaboration with Prof. George Shake and Prof. Alex Wong from UWaterloo, Canada. The project will kick off in May 2024.

Also linked to ISAC activities, Yang Miao co-organized and presented together with other KULeuven researchers a tutorial in IEEE JC&S Symposium on “Integrated Human sensing and Communications: from detection, to localization and tracking, to pose and vital sign monitoring”. She also gave a talk to KIVI (Het Koninklijk Institute Van Ingenieurs) on her activities in URSI GASS 2023 that are associated with her role in COST action INTERACT. She also chaired 3 sessions in EuCAP 2024, one of which was the convened session organized by the ISAC subgroup of COST action INTERACT where Yang is the co-chair. 

Furthermore, Yang Miao participated as a co-supervisor in the "Age of Technology", the study tour of E.T.S.V. Scintilla, in South Korea, with 19 UT students. They visited Doosan Energibility, Pusan National University, Ulsan National IST (UNIST), etc. 

Within the 4TU project “Green Sensors” we welcome Vijaykumaran Alagarsamy as a PhD student. He will start his work on the development of biodegradable sensors and their integration into a wireless communication network. The aim is to implement the networking elements using biodegradable materials as well.

In the past period, we celebrated the defense of 3 PhD theses. On September 22 nd , Alireza Bagherimoghim defended his thesis on “28 GHz Gapwaveguide-base Phased Array Antennas for 5G Applications”. On September 29 th , Zaher Mahfouz defended his thesis “Ultra-Narrowband Communications; A Feasibility Study For The 2.4 GHz Band”, and Wai Yan Yong defended his thesis with title “Array Antennas and Radomes for Millimetre-Wave 5G Applications” on October 6 th .

We are also looking back at a successful 18 th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) in Glasgow where the Radio Systems group has presented 4 research papers.

To our regret, Aakash Arora has left the University of Twente as of 1 st of March. Aakash was active in Electrical Engineering bachelor modules 8 (Signal Processing & Communication) and 11 (Electronic System Design). His research focus was on optimization algorithms, statistical signal processing, wireless communications and machine learning.
