1 The Industrial Design Engineering faculty The faculty is committed to study, innovate and improve the development of durable products and their services for people, on the basis of the balanced interests of users, industry, society and the environment. The faculty pursues this mission through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates human aspects - i.e. ergonomics, market, organization and aesthetics – with engineering, industrial production and sustainability. Industrial design engineering focuses predominantly on durable mass or series produced products for use in daily life; at work, at home, at school or for transport, communication or leisure. Such frequently used products require significant interaction between user and product. The core of the mission is therefore: ’Creating successful products people love to use’.
1.1 Education The IDE faculty offers one BSc and three MSc programmes and three specialisations. The MSc-programmes are:
Master in Integrated Product Design (IPD) Master in Design for Interaction (DfI) Master in Strategic Product Design (SPD).
Students can choose to follow a specialisation within their MSc programme. The IDE faculty offers three specialisations:
Advanced Automotive Design (for DfI, IPD and SPD students) Medisign (for DfI and IPD students) Retail Design (for DfI, IPD and SPD students)
An extra focus on research is also possible (see paragraph 2.3)
1.2 Research The research portfolio is downloadable from at: www.io.tudelft.nl > research > research portfolio.

2 The DfI, IPD and SPD Master programmes
2.1 General principles of the MSc programmes The MSc programmes are based on a number of general principles on matters relating to content and teaching, including:
Education in design is the guiding principle throughout the curriculum, The design projects bring together theory from the different disciplines, methodical aspects of
the design process and skills from training exercises, The basic knowledge imparted in the various disciplines is practiced and applied in projects
and assignments, Education centers on the student and encourages self-activity and independence on the part
of the student.
2.2 General structure of the IPD, DfI and SPD Master programmes Each Master’s programme comprises 2 years of study of two semesters each. Students can start a Master’s programme either in the fall semester (September) or in the spring semester (February). The TU Delft uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Therefore, the study load of each course is expressed in EC’s: European Credits. 1 EC equals a study load of 28 hours. A Master’s programme consists of 120 EC; 60 EC per year and 30 EC per semester. Each Master’s programme encompasses:
three shared courses and the Joint Master Project for students of all three Master’s programmes (21 EC),
Master-specific courses and projects (48 EC), The graduation project and thesis (33 EC), Electives (18 EC).
The first two semesters each comprise:
Shared courses for students of all IDE MSc programmes, Theoretical courses, A project in which the theory is elaborated in a design or research assignment, Electives.
The third and fourth semester comprise:
The Joint Master Project, in which students of different MSc programmes work together in small groups,
Master- specific courses and/or electives, The graduation project, which involves a (design)project with a company or a research project
with one of the faculty’s research groups. The first week of each semester starts with a compulsory GPS (General and Professional Skills) week. These weeks are, among others, preparation for the coming semester.
2.3 Research orientation in a Master programme Students wanting an extra focus on research in their Master programme can do so by:
focusing on research in one of the two Master-specific projects in the first year. In the SPD programme the project in the spring semester is a research project;
choosing research-oriented electives; finishing their Master course with a research project in one of the research groups of the
faculty or in a research institute outside the faculty.

2.4 Conditions concerning Specialisations The following conditions apply to all three specialisations: 1. The student shall organise the following courses in a way specific to this specialisation:
One of the master specific projects or the Joint Master Project (ID4045), The Graduation Project.
2. The student shall obtain at least 9 EC of specialisation-specific electives. See chapter 8 for an index of the specialisation-specific electives
2.5 Annotations Specific electives, combined with specific content in the master’s Graduation Project, may lead to a TU Delft annotation to the master’s exam. An annotation leads to a specific certificate. For IDE-students there are two options:
Annotation in ‘Technology in Sustainable Development’ See the website: http://www.odo.tudelft.nl Annotation in ‘Entrepreneurship’
See the website: http://www.tudelft.nl/tisd
2.6 Electives The IDE Master’s courses include an ’electives’ examination component of 18 ec. Electives enable students to individualise their study programmes, for example by deepening their understanding of particular aspects of the subject area or by filling in gaps in their knowledge or skills, or by broadening their knowledge to include related disciplines. The following qualify as electives:
‘Free’ elective courses offered by the IDE faculty, ‘Tied’ electives; these are compulsory courses of the other two Master programmes,
Note: it is not possible to participate in the compulsory projects of another Master programme,
Master courses from other TU Delft faculties: go to http://studyguide.tudelft.nl, Master courses at other universities in the Netherlands, Master courses at foreign universities at a level comparable to that of TU Delft.
Up to date overviews of IDE electives offered can be found on the Student Portal > Education > Master of Science programmes > Electives.
To take an elective at another university, a student must be enrolled at that institution and must supply proof of enrolment to TU Delft. In addition, institutions often require a statement to the effect that the relevant subject is approved for inclusion as an elective in the student’s own course. In general, no additional tuition fees are payable. Check in advance if the times of certain electives lectures will not conflict with compulsory lectures. If you are a foreigner and want to learn something of the Dutch language, you will experience that nearly every Dutch citizen speaks English. All courses that you follow are in English and also in daily life, many Dutch people will speak English to you. From experience, we can say that only students from Scandinavia and Germany learn to speak Dutch fluently and actively speak the language. That is why we usually advise all other students who will only stay for 6-12 months not to follow the Dutch course. We suggest you follow an English course instead. It will improve your spoken and written English and has lifelong value!

2.7 Honours track The faculty offers excellent students who have finished their bachelor programme with an average mark of 7.5 or higher and/or students who have shown an excellent performance during the first master semester (no fails and marks 7.5 or higher) the opportunity to follow an honours track in addition to the regular Master’s programme. Students who meet the criteria for an honours track can, in consultation with the faculty, put together an individual course programme of 30 EC. The extra programme has to be completed during the Master’s programme. See implementing regulations appendix 2

3.2.10 Internship office The Internship Office helps students who are following degree programmes to arrange internships. An internship is not a mandatory component of the MSc programmes. Your Study Guide provides information about doing an internship as an elective course and the conditions that such an internship must fulfill. The Internship workbook and information can also be found on www.io.tudelft.nl/stages. You are responsible for arranging your own internship. It is therefore important to remember to start the orientation process for your internship early. This means that, if you want to do your internship in your second year, you should already be exploring possibilities throughout your first year. Arranging an internship can be a time-consuming process. The Internship coordinator is available to answer questions and give advice: Marco Bolleboom Room 3A-11 Tel: +31 (0)15 27 82864 E-mail: [email protected] Once you have arranged your internship you must report it to the Internship coordinator via the application form on the internship website before you begin, in order to ensure that it will be recognized later. Failing to do so will exclude you from receiving credits. The internship coordinator will let you know if you can commence your internship.
3.2.11 Quality Management The faculty makes every effort to safeguard and improve the quality of its curriculum. A number of tools are used to continuously evaluate the curriculum. The evaluation results are used to formulate proposals for improving the curriculum. Quality assessment tools include:
Course evaluation, Semester evaluation.
Evaluation results are published on the website: IDE Studentportal > Education > Quality of education Remarks on the quality of the curriculum can be addressed to: i.d commissaris onderwijs: tel: +31 (0)15 2783012, email: [email protected] and/or Educational consultant: Ms. drs. N. Pouw Room 4B-08, tel: +31 (0)15 2788278, email: [email protected]
3.3 Communication between students and IDE faculty Besides the obvious communication between staff and students in teaching activities, especially in the projects, there are several consultative bodies in which students participate:
Faculty Student Council (FSR), representative advisory board, consisting of 7 students who are annually chosen. Monthly meetings with the IDE Dean.
Educational Advisory Committee (OKIO), counseling body, consisting of 5 students and 5 staff members. Monthly meetings.
Board of Studies (OD), meetings every two weeks.
14 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering

4 Procedures and rules The procedures and rules regarding the education, teaching and examinations are registered in the Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) and the Rules & Guidelines of the Examination Board (R&R). The TER contains a general part which is applicable to all Delft UT-students, and Implementing Regulations in which the IDE Programmes are described. The TER and R&R containing the full and legitimate text, are included in this guide. See also Student portal IDE >Education > Rules and Regulations. Below some important articles are briefly described.
4.1 Passing rules governing the master degree audit The student has passed the master degree audit when the following requirements have been met:
A result has been earned for all program courses as mentioned in the IDE TER MSc Implementing Regulations: a mark, a pass (V) or an exemption (VR); and
none of the marks may be lower than 6.0. A student can receive the predicate ‘with distinction’ for the master degree audit if the Board of Examiners decides to grant that predicate and several requirements have been met. These requirements can be found in the R&R section 9.
4.2 Enrolment for all exams, IDE master courses and electives The IDE faculty uses a central registration system, Osiris, for courses and exams. The purpose of this system is to determine how many students will attend a particular course or examination. This allows instructors to anticipate the number of students in order to arrange for their classes (e.g., size of lecture or examination rooms, number of readers that need to be printed). Students must use Osiris to register for all courses, electives and exams. You can access Osiris through Blackboard. It is your own responsibility to register for examinations and courses! Registration takes place for a whole semester, meaning for two quartiles at one. Read the instructions on the website carefully. If you have problems with registering in Osiris, you can contact E&SA at [email protected]. NOTE: Do not forget to register on time, students who are not registered before the deadline cannot participate in courses or exams!!! Registration deadlines for IDE master courses and electives Registration opening: at least 8 weeks before the start of the semester Registration closing: 5 weeks before the start of the semester Last withdrawal date through Osiris : 5 weeks before the start of the semester After the last withdrawal date through Osiris, withdrawal will be possible only by sending an email to the teaching coordinator at [email protected] up and until 2 weeks before the start of the semester. The list of participants in the Master’s courses and electives become available on the IDE Student portal > Education > Participation lists, 2 weeks before the start of the semester. Students must attend all practicals, exercises, projects and electives, unless the tutor has stipulated otherwise in the course description in the digital study guide.
19 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
Note: If there are more applications for a certain elective course than places available, the director education decides on inclusion. Registration deadlines for examinations Registration opening: the first week of the semester. Registration closing: 14 days before the examination date. Last withdrawal date: 14 days before the examination date.
4.3 Board of Examiners Requests related to the Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER), including the Implementing Regulations and to the Rules & Guidelines of the Examination Board (R&R), are to be sent to [email protected].

5 Master in Design for Interaction (DfI)
5.1 DfI profile The Master’s degree programme in Design for Interaction (DfI) focuses on analysing, conceptualising, and designing for human-product interactions. Students of DfI learn that the nature of these interactions results from an interplay between properties and behaviour of the product, and abilities, goals, and practices of the user, in relation to the personal and social context of interaction. In this two-year programme, the emphasis is therefore on understanding human-product interactions, and on envisioning how these interactions can be supported or enhanced by new products using existing and emerging technologies. This Master’s programme builds on the traditional disciplines of ergonomics and aesthetics; it links to other programmes in the field of (human-computer) interaction design, and is closely connected to new developments in the emerging area of experience design. Like other MSc programmes in Industrial Design Engineering, this programme teaches a multi-disciplinary understanding of the factors that play a role in product development, aiming to integrate these factors into balanced design concepts.
5.2 Mission Graduates from this Master’s programme help clients to design innovative and appropriate products (including services) by making human-product interaction central to the design process, i.e., the way people use, understand, and experience products.
5.3 Relationships with IDE research Portfolio DfI works together with the following programme:
User eXperience (UX)
5.4 Specialisations The DfI Master’s programme offers three specialisations:
Medisign, Advanced Automotive Design, Retail Design.
Studying a specialisation means that a student will focus on the chosen specialisation in one of the two Master projects and in the graduation project. 9 EC of the electives (total of 18 EC) have to be specialisation-related, which means that the student can choose from a list of electives.
5.5 Index of DfI courses In this paragraph the programs for students starting as from September 2010 are presented. The overviews for students who started before this date can be found in the Study Guide: Student portal > Education > Study guide. Course descriptions are available in the digital study guide: http://studyguide.tudelft.nl.

6 Master’s in Integrated Product Design (IPD)
6.1 IPD profile and mission Integrated Product Design (IPD) is a systematic approach to product development. By following this Master’s programme, students will learn to adapt the design process to the demands of specific design problems and contexts, focusing in particular on the development of innovative products and product-service combinations for consumers and professional users. This two-year programme teaches students how to perform design activities using modern methods and advanced technologies, and how to plan, execute and manage complex product development processes. Focusing on the knowledge- and method-intensive phases of concept and embodiment design, students will learn to master product creation from the level of a design brief to that of a completed, materialised and validated product or product prototype. In this context, design and applied research & development converge in one rigorous scientific framework.
6.2 Mission Masters of Integrated Product Design have the skills to develop/create innovative and appropriate products, from concept to implementation. They are academically trained to be creative and systematic, and possess competent engineering, aesthetics and ergonomics knowledge and skills with an international focus.
6.3 Relationships with the IDE Research Portfolio IPD works together with the three applied programmes:
Healthcare, Personal Mobility, Living/Work.
6.4 Specialisations The IPD Master’s programme offers three specialisations:
Medisign, Advanced Automotive Design, Retail Design.
Studying a specialisation means that a student will focus on the chosen specialisation in one of the two Master projects and in the graduation project. 9 EC of the electives (total of 18 EC) have to be specialisation-related, which means that the student can choose from a list of electives.
6.5 Index of IPD courses In this paragraph the programs for students starting as from September 2011 are presented. The overviews for students who started before this date can be found in the Study Guide: Student portal > Education > Study guide. Course descriptions are available in the digital study guide: http://studyguide.tudelft.nl.

7 Master’s in Strategic Product Design (SPD)
7.1 SPD profile Students opting for the Strategic Product Design Master’s programme will be educated as strategic product developers (MSc SPD). The emphasis of this MSc programme is on the fuzzy front-end of the new product development (NPD) process, which is another name for the product planning phase. The commercialisation phase will also be addressed. This two-year programme teaches students how to develop promising product concepts based on insights from the external environment (market analysis, consumer and behavioral research, trends and future scenarios, governmental policies, environmental concerns, and new technologies and materials) and the wishes and possibilities of the company (product strategy, brand identity, product/brand portfolio, mission/vision, resources). The translation of the chosen strategic product direction into proposals for product concepts (including engineering and design guidelines) is also of central concern.
7.2 Mission Strategic product designers help companies to initiate, create and introduce strategically sound, sustainable and commercially successful products and services for clients and customers who live and act in an international competitive environment.
7.3 Relationship with the IDE Research Portfolio SPD works together with the following programme:
Strategic Design
7.4 Specialisations The SPD Master’s programme offers two specialisations:
Advanced Automotive Design, Retail Design.
Studying a specialisation means that a student will focus on the chosen specialisation in one of the two Master projects and in the graduation project. 9 EC of the electives (total of 18 EC) have to be specialisation-related, which means that the student can choose from a list of electives.
7.5 Index of SPD courses In this paragraph the programs for students starting as from September 2010 are presented. The overviews for students who started before this date can be found in the Study Guide: Student portal > Education > Study guide. Course descriptions are available in the digital study guide: http://studyguide.tudelft.nl.

9 Academic calendar and daily schedule Each year is divided into two semesters. The semesters run from September to February and from February to September and each semester is divided into two periods. Each period consists of seven weeks of teaching (the ‘teaching period’), followed by examination periods of varying lengths. There is an extra examination period in August, which is for resits only. Vacations are around the Christmas and Easter periods and in the summer. See the calendar for details. Chapter 4 contains information about all the subjects in your programme. A course of lectures may, for example, have a 2/2/0/0 timetable. This means that there are two lecture hours scheduled for the subject in the first and second teaching periods and no lecture hours in the third and fourth periods. This means a total of 28 - 32 hours of lectures. All teaching and examination activities are set out in a timetable. These timetables can be found on the TU Delft website www.roosters.tudelft.nl and on Blackboard, the virtual learning environment for students, lecturers and staff. General timetable information can be found on the Timetable page of the student portal

11.16 Safety, Security, Health and the In-house Emergency Response Team
As a student at TU Delft you have the same rights as members of the university staff to a safe, secure and healthy work or study area. You also bear the same responsibility to act safely and secure, with regard to yourself and others. In the Netherlands safety requirements and rules for behaviour are set down in Health & Safety legislation. Within TU Delft there are also specific safety, security and environmental rules which apply. Important information: Map of the TU Delft campus You can find a map of the campus on the website at www.tudelft.nl. TU Delft Emergency Call Centre TU Delft has an Emergency Call Centre which is manned 24/7. In the event of an emergency such as an accident or fire, you should call the TU Delft Emergency Call Centre. They will alert the in-house emergency response team and if necessary the ambulance service and/or fire brigade. The Emergency Call Centre can be reached by calling 112 (landline) or +31 (0) 15 27 81226 (mobile phone). For non-emergency cases you can call the information number: +31 (0)15 27 82777. We recommend that you program the telephone number of the Emergency Call Centre in your mobile phone. TU Delft 112: +31 (0)15 27 81226 What to do in the event of an evacuation TU Delft has its own in-house Emergency Response Team. The members of this team are known to the staff. They give first aid and act in the event of an emergency. Make sure you always have any injuries treated. Report any accidents and near accidents to the In-house Emergency Response Team. In the event of a fire, an accident or a threatening situation, the following rules apply: The alarm signal comprises a slow whoop siren on the intercom. If you hear a continuous alarm, the so-called slow whoop alarm, you should leave the building calmly using the evacuation route/emergency exit indicated. The slow whoop alarm signal may be accompanied by a spoken message. Ensure your own safety and warn others. In the event of fire, activate the fire alarm. Report an emergency by calling 112 from a landline, and answer the questions.
39 | Master programmes Industrial Design Engineering
Obey any instructions given by members of the Emergency Response Team. You can recognise them by their coloured vests. The meeting point is outside the building. At the meeting point you will receive further instructions from the Emergency Response Team. Escape routes, emergency exits and stairs must be kept clear at all times. They must never – even temporarily – be blocked by loads, pallets or people sitting down. It is important for the fire brigade and ambulance personnel to be able to access the building quickly in the event of an emergency. Building entrances must not be blocked by parked bicycles or cars. If you need First Aid treatment First Aid resources are indicated by signs, labels and pictograms in the buildings. In every building members of the Emergency Response Team are either present or can be quickly summoned. Reporting and registering incidents – Report emergencies directly to the Emergency Call Centre. – Report all other incidents, such as theft and minor accidents, to the service desk or your faculty’s Emergency Response Team. – You should then register the incident at www.incidentenregistratie.nl. The task of the Confidential Advisor Aggression, sexual intimidation, threats, bullying and discrimination are seen as undesirable behaviour and are not tolerated. You can report any undesirable behaviour to the Executive Board. You can also contact the faculty’s Confidential Advisor who will deal with your complaint discretely. You can find the Confidential Advisors via the website www.tudelft.nl/medewerkersportal. Information Security Do not forget to protect your information and your hardware and software. TU Delft has a code of practice for security measures for using computer and network facilities. For this see the security portal www.security.tudelft.nl. Basic principles Students are not permitted to enter any technical rooms. Actions and experiments that involve risk may only be carried out after suitable instruction and permission have been received from the supervisor. Anyone who feels they may be at risk while carrying out a task may refuse to do this and contact the Health, Safety & Environment advisor for advice. No smoking TU Delft operates a general no smoking policy, with the exception of the special smoking rooms and designated smoking areas. Violation of this policy is seen as undesirable behaviour. Any person affected by smoke nuisance can report this to the Health, Safety & Environment Advisor or the Confidential Advisor. VDU work Intensive VDU work can lead to complaints in the neck and upper limbs. These are generally referred to as RSI. The risk of RSI increases if you are working under pressure, for example while working on your thesis. Advanced RSI is difficult to cure and must therefore be avoided. Make sure you have a good posture while working and take short breaks at regular intervals. The program Workpace can help you to do this. The Health, Safety & Environment advisor can give advice and check your work station.

Section 1 – General From September 2011, the master’s programme Integrated Product Design (IPD) will start with a new, recalibrated master’s programme. The changes within this new programme are extensive in comparison with the current and the 2003 programme. The main changes refer to the incorporation of a number of master specific courses in two new courses with a size of 21 EC each. Furthermore, the new programme contains two new smaller courses with a size of 3 EC each. The familiar general courses, the electives and of course the Graduation Project complete the new IPD programme. To this new programme, the profile and learning goals have hardly been changed. Already from September 2010, the masters Design for Interaction (DfI) and Strategic Product Design (SPD) both have started with a new programme. The changes within these new programmes were not that extensive in comparison with the 2003 programmes. In Sections 2, 3 and 4 of these Implementation Regulations all IDE master’s examination programmes are described in which students can be studying in the academic year 2011-2012:
For IPD turn to Section 2a (start programme September 2011 and after), Section 2b (start programme February 2011), Section 2c (start programme September 2010) or Section 2d (start February 2010 and before),
For DfI turn to Section 3a (start programme September 2010 and after) or Section 3b (start February 2010 and before),
For SPD turn to Section 4a (start programme September 2010 and after) or Section 4b (start programme February 2010 and before).
Regarding IPD, to prevent scheduling problems to arise, the Board of Education has decided that disappearing or moving courses have to be offered at least one last time in accordance to the course schedule of 2010-2011. In Appendix 6 of these Implementation Regulations, the transition regulations of each course, if any, are described, together with the equivalencies between old and new courses, if applicable.

Appendix 6 – Transition regulations to the Master Programme courses
The recalibrated programme Integrated Product design (IPD) will be introduced semester by semester, starting September 2011. The transition regulations for this recalibrated programme IPD are extensive. See this Appendix at A, points 1, 2 and 3 for the different starting moments.
For a number of former courses, equivalencies to newer courses – as determined in last year’s regulations – still are applicable. For IPD courses see this Appendix at A3, for Design for Interaction (DfI) courses see at B, for Strategic Product Design (SPD) courses see at C. To enable current students to follow their academic planning, in the academic year of 2011-2012 almost all changed courses will be offered one last time in its original semester unless a new course is going to be equivalent to the current one.
A. Transition regulations / equivalencies regarding the Master IPD programme
1. For students who started their Master IPD in February 2011 (see programme as described in Section 2b to these Implementation Regulations). To enable current students to complete their original degree programme, in the academic year 2011-2012 almost all changed courses will be offered one last time on their original time/in their original semester, see below. The general master courses will keep being offered as part of the shared master’s programme:
ID4010 Design Theory and Methodology – in the Autumn semester (Q1), ID4050 Internationalisation – in the Spring semester (Q4), ID4045 Joint Master Project – in both Autumn and Spring semester, ID4100 Generic and Professional Skills – for students who started as of September 2010
or February 2011, ID4196 Graduation Project – in both Autumn and Spring semester.
The following master specific IPD courses are incorporated in the new course ID4170 ‘Advanced Concept Design’:
