April 20, 2011 - Looking for a challenging MSc track?
After completing your BSc and the new academic year almost starting, its decision time for selecting a interesting and appealing MSc track. If your MSc track is still undecided and you are looking for an interesting MSc thesis project, we at the ASCM chair are interested in talking to you. Our current MSc students work on appealing research and industrial projects, we have attractive internships on offer and a wide variety of MSc thesis projects available (have a look at some examples of available and completed MSc thesis projects). Our experienced staff is always looking for fresh MSc students for new (international) projects. If you want to discuss opportunities in the ASCM chair please contact our MSc profile coordinator Jan Hol or any of the other ASCM staff members.
April 19, 2011 - The 2011-2012 Aerospace Structures & Materials MSc Track
Starting from January 2011 the reorganized Aerospace Structures & Computational Mechanics section (ASCM) will once again be part of the Aerospace Structures & Materials department (ASM). Our revised MSc profile now called Aerospace Structures & Computational Mechanics will similarly become profile 4 of the ASM MSc track. Effectively this implies a revised set of MSc track core courses but limited changes to profile core & elective courses. The following link re-directs to the preliminary 2011-2012 ASM MSc Track overview. Also available is a copy of the ASM MSc track presentation from the TU Master Event of April 19th, 2011.
February 25, 2011 - MSc graduation of Simone van Rosendaal.
