Introduction The Smart Buildings & Cities PDEng program wants to contribute to the transition towards smart, intelligent and sustainable cities where quality of life is high. This transition requires new solutions which can only be created through multiscale and transdisciplinary (design) approaches. The following focus areas or themes for the Smart Buildings & Cities program and its design projects are defined (based on the research areas of TU/e’s Smart Cities program): A carbon neutral city ‐ Designing intelligent and energy efficient building components. ‐ Designing building concepts aimed at intelligent use of (as less as possible) energy. ‐ Designing and implementing energy generation in the built environment. ‐ Designing intelligent networks aimed at matching supply and demand of energy. A climate proof, nature‐based city ‐ Designing buildings and cities that mitigate the effects of climate change. ‐ Designing buildings and cities based on the principles of the circular economy. ‐ Designing buildings and cities that promote healthy living. 1.1 Program goals The goal of the SB&C program is to service industry (consulting, policy making, product development) by delivering designers with a broad technological understanding of smart buildings and cities related concepts (from architecture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, building physics and services and information technology), who excel in their own discipline and who are able to work in multidisciplinary design teams, contribute to design issues outside their own core disciplines, integrate different technologies into new products and concepts, and who understand the commercial aspects of these innovative products and concepts. 1.2 Admission criteria and Graduate profile The program uses certain admission criteria to select candidates that can start with the program; these admission criteria can be found in Appendix A. The candidates that enrol in the program are expected to own a set of skills and competences after finishing the program. These skills and competences are described in the Graduate profile; see Appendix B. The graduate profile is divided in four skills and competence categories: designer, knowledge, professional and entrepreneurial. The acquired skills and competences give the graduated SB&C trainee a clear advantage over MSc graduates when entering the job market. After successful completion of the program, the trainees receive a certified diploma which entitles them to use the academic degree of Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng). 1 Trainee Handbook — PDEng program Smart Buildings & Cities 2. Program organization The SB&C PDEng program is embedded in the structure of the 4TU School for Technological Design ‘Stan Ackerman’s Institute’ (SAI). The SAI hosts 16 other PDEng programs. The SB&C program is hosted by the department of the Built Environment of the TU/e. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the program, also the following departments of the TU/e contribute to the program: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics & Computers Science and Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences. 2.1 Management Team The Management Team (MT) of SB&C consists of three persons (see below) and is based at the (host) department of the Built Environment.

    IJDC | General Article From Passive to Active, From Generic to Focussed: How Can an Institutional Data Archive Remain Relevant in a Rapidly Evolving Landscape? Maria J. Cruz Jasmin Böhmer TU Delft Library TU Delft Library Egbert Gramsbergen Marta Teperek TU Delft Library TU Delft Library Madeleine de Smaele Alastair Dunning TU Delft Library TU Delft Library Abstract Founded in 2008 as an initiative of the libraries of three of the four technical universities in the Netherlands, the 4TU.Centre for Research Data (4TU.Research Data) has provided a fully operational, cross-institutional, long-term archive since 2010, storing data from all subjects in applied sciences and engineering. Presently, over 90% of the data in the archive is geoscientific data coded in netCDF (Network Common Data Form) – a data format and data model that, although generic, is mostly used in climate, ocean and atmospheric sciences. In this practice paper, we explore the question of how 4TU.Research Data can stay relevant and forward-looking in a rapidly evolving research data management landscape. In particular, we describe the motivation behind this question and how we propose to address it.

    MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND PARTNERS SUMMER 2018 SPIN-OFF LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS WITH APPS BY Hans van Eerden PHOTOGRAPHY Arjan Reef “We want to make geo-information publicly accessible and usable,” says Valentijn Venus, researcher at the Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) faculty. In 2016, he launched the spin-off Ramani (Swahili for “map”). The company shares data such as satellite images of crops and roads, weather reports and informa- tion gathered from smartphones via crowd sourcing. Ramani developed a toolkit that gives app developers ac- cess to these information resources. “We have an app that informs drivers carrying perishable goods about obstructions on their route. Another app informs mango farmers about the optimal times at which to harvest and dry the fruit. Journalists can use an app to report misconduct such as bribery. The app Cheetah, which tackles loss of food in Africa, has already won several awards.” Ramani is part of Ujuizi (“wisdom,” “intelligence”), a holding that collabo- rates with corporations and uses the UT’s intellectual property to improve mobile technology in developing coun- tries. “There are already thousands of Ujuizi Laboratories throughout Ghana and Indonesia and we have recently met with local entrepreneurs in Kenya and South Africa.” Venus appreciates the efforts of “The app Cheetah, experts such as Nikolet Zwart, who which tackles loss of food offers local entrepreneurs legal and WERE YOU THERE? financial advice.

  • Data Collection Policy
    Preservation Policy 1. Purpose Digital preservation refers to the series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials beyond the limits of media failure or technological change for as long as necessary (Digital Preservation Handbook, p.24). This preservation policy describes the digital preservation strategies and principles of the 4TU.ResearchData archive and provides transparency on the procedures involved in ensuring adequate preservation of and access to the data within the archive. As a trusted digital repository that has received the Data Seal of Approval, 4TU.ResearchData demonstrates its long-standing good archival practice by drafting this preservation policy. The policy is addressed to data producers and users, as well as research funders, 4TU.ResearchData staff, and other interested audiences. 2. File formats and preservation One of the goals of digital preservation is to prevent loss of access to files due to file format obsolescence. To enhance the chance of future interpretability of the data, 4TU.ResearchData has selected a number of preferred formats for full preservation for which it guarantees long- term usability. In general, the preferred file formats used for full preservation of data, are non- proprietary, well documented, and well understood by 4TU.ResearchData staff. Data depositors are strongly recommended to provide their data in the preferred format, which is most suitable to the type of data. The 4TU.ResearchData archive also accepts other formats, but informs depositors that only bit-level preservation will be provided. 4TU.ResearchData applies two levels of file support: ● Full preservation: All reasonable actions to maintain usability will be taken.
