Delta Engineering

About this minor

The course focuses on the technological implementation of possible solutions. There are four theoretical main subjects: Port & City Development, Delta Engineering, Water Systems Engineering and Dredging Technology. The minor is taught in English and also open to international students. Below, the objectives of each main subject are described briefly.

The theoretical part of the course is interspersed by external projects where experience is gained through 'learning by doing', comprising brief (two-weekly) assignments at a port, contractor, engineering firm or water authority. The assignments may involve analysing a certain problem or using supplementary theory to conduct a 'serious game'.

When pre-registering, you can specify a maximum of three preferences.

Looking for a minor that is still available during the academic year? Look in Osiris where there is still room because full = full.
Your registration must always be checked by your academic counsellor (SLB-er) and can be approved or rejected. Only after approval are you definitively registered.
Make sure you deregister from a rejected minor.
After approval, enrol in the courses of the minor.
Please note: some programmes register their students for courses of a minor themselves. Check whether this is the case with your programme.

Some minors have an entry with a draw. There is a pre-registration for these minors.

You can specify up to three preferences when pre-registering. There will be a draw in one round. First, the 1st choice of the students will be drawn. After that, the 2nd choice is drawn, etc. In the draw you will compete for just one spot. After the draw, you can only register for a minor if there is a place (full = full).
