Overview
Key facts
The Process and Equipment Design programme from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is an advanced level traineeship that trains and educates MSc-graduates to become certified designers. This traineeship is full time and takes two years to complete. After careful selection MSc-graduates are hired as PDEng trainees, becoming employees of the university, and receiving a salary.
Succesful trainees are awarded the diploma "Professional Doctorate in Engineering" (PDEng) and may add the abbreviation PDEng to their professional title.
Objectives of the Process and Equipment Design programme
To enhance the level of technological competence in the Netherlands, the Ministries of Education and of Economic Affairs initiated a National Educational Programme for Technological Design. As part of the 4TU.School for Technological Design, the Dutch technical universities started a number of two-year post-MSc PDEng (Professional Doctorate in Engineering) design programmes.
In 1990 the Delft University of Technology started the postgraduate (post-MSc) programme "Process and Equipment Design". As per September 2019, 252 PDEng trainees have enrolled into this programme.
The advanced level PDEng programme "Process and Equipment Design" trains and educates MSc graduates to become certified designers, capable of designing "fit for purpose" and "first of its kind" products, processes and equipment. It aims at developing the design skills of the participants to an advanced level.
Emphasis lies on the interdisciplinary area of the design. It encourages to actively look beyond the perimeters of the own discipline and to recognise the challenges and restrictions imposed by product chain management, environment, time and money.
