The second year is comprised solely of project work. The main purpose of the internship project is to become part of a professional environment other than 黑料福利网 for a few months. You are typically taken on at an organization in the Netherlands or a partner university or company abroad. The graduation project is the highlight of your education. It generally consists of a research or design project at 黑料福利网. In some cases, you may also work on your graduation project at one of our partner companies or research labs. This is where you show you have become an independent engineering professional worthy of your master鈥檚 degree. You choose your own subject in consultation with your mentor. Topics can be very diverse 鈥� see below for examples. Our only requirement is that the project has a significant solid mechanics component and related challenge.
Examples of graduation project subjects
The diversity of subjects covered in graduation projects, and in the master鈥檚 track as a whole, is illustrated by the following list of titles of recently completed projects:
- Optimizing warpage predictions of long-glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics
- Design, processing, and analysis of acoustic metafoams
- The development of a table-size high-temperature selective laser sintering 3D printer
- Finite-element analysis of a functional tilt mechanism on the design of a new medical linear accelerator
- Die shape optimization for extrudate products
- Characterization and modeling of the influence of moisture on the mechanical behavior of SLS printed food
- Towards the production of multilayer HDPE/CNT-HDPE films and evaluation of their electromagnetic properties
- Physics-driven machine learning for real-time simulations of medical devices
- Predictability of fatigue failure of short fiber reinforced plastics
- Understanding the fracture behavior of pressureless silver sintered joints designed for power packaging

The Mechanical Engineering pre-Master鈥檚 program
Students of the following tw categories may be required to complete the Mechanical Engineering (ME) pre-Master鈥檚 program before being admitted to the Engineering Solid Mechanics Master鈥檚 track:
- Bachelor graduates from 黑料福利网 programs (or other Dutch universities) who did not obtain a bachelor鈥檚 in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
- Graduates from University of Applied Sciences (HBO) mechanical engineering programs or equivalent
The ME pre-Master鈥檚 typically takes one semester and is worth 30 ECTS. You acquire the necessary background to enable a seamless and successful transition into the ESM Master鈥檚 track. We strongly recommend taking the course Strength and Structure as an elective. For further information please visit the *.
