Master Thesis

The master thesis project is all about some topical (track-related) civil engineering quest with innovative potential, the answer to which requires integration ofacquired knowledge and skills as well as creativity and critical thinking in combination with societal and scientic awareness. It builds on preparatory workconducted in the Thesis Preparation (CIEM0400). The project may be related to ongoing work, either in house or at a private company, a research institute or a (non-)gouvernmental organisation, providedprior approval of the concerned track co-ordinator. Conditions may apply, forinstance regarding condentiality, intellectual property and so on. It is theresponsibility of the student to ensure that such conditions are agreed upon with all parties involved prior to the start of the project and in compliance with TUregulations (see ...). Commonly, but not by definition, this is dealt with already along with the formulation of a project proposal in the Thesis Preparation(CIEM0400).The primary deliverables are- a written report (the thesis) and- an oral presentation and defence (this is a public event, to be scheduled on campus, unless exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise)
