managementVirtual realityNew materials

supporting Leaner production

Faster and cheaper production

Less failure and less waste

Cradle to cradle

Entrepreneurs in Building industry look for engineers

that handle the challenge

The Faculty of Engineering Technology

aims at reaching high performance in research and in educating Bachelors, Masters and PhD levels. Newest knowledge and methods will be accessible for our students, in order to become fully equipped engineering designers, confident in interdisciplinary approaches and competent in design and engineering management as well as in process management.

A new approach to innovation and

collaboration in building industry

STUDENTS LOOK FOR CHALLENGING DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

Students, employers and members of Institutes of higher eduction know that a single dimensional society is not challenging anymore. Engineering products

in building industry are important in creating an adaptive society that can recreate democracy and sustainability for mankind. New approaches have to be developed. University of Twente educates the appropriate engineers for

those firms taking the lead.

DESIGN OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING COMPONENTSStudents will learn how to generate and select ideas and how to create design concepts that are do not necessarily fit into the existing market. Therefor they will materialize a concept to the stage of a prototype.

Craftsmen product development before local handyman result

New materials make other functions possible

ENGINEERING OF DESIGN AND COLLABORATION PROCESSESStudents will know how to analyze market demands and user needs along with technological and social opportunities. Students will develop their personal design approach, focussing on collaboration.

Atmosphere in line with sustainability demands

Interior design in contrast to interior decoration

MANAGEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL INNOVATIONS IN DYNAMIC SOCIETYStudents will take into account market launch , the product, production and design costs as well as the life cycle costs. Students will be able to distinguish between private costs and social gains.

Old ideas in new materialization concepts

Industrial prefabrication for consumer oriented building

Partners in the MSc. ABCDE will be:The suppliers in Dutch and German Building Industry, who want to expand their R&D.The small, medium and large contractors who want professionally trained engineers with profound management knowledge. The engineering firms who need young project managers knowing the latest methods in innovation management, specifically for the building industry. The young BSc. students from all kinds of engineering disciplines, who want to direct their career towards designing industrial components in architecture, civil engineering and industrial design.

Components of buildings can be design individually as well as combined to larger buildings.
