Three <strong>specialization</strong>s of SI <strong>and</strong> two variants<br />
of <strong>Calculus</strong><br />
With this leaflet we want to inform you about<br />
two topics. The first is about the three <strong>technical</strong><br />
<strong>specialization</strong>s of Sustainable Innovation.<br />
The second about the relation between these<br />
<strong>specialization</strong>s <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Calculus</strong> course that<br />
starts at the beginning of your study program in<br />
September.<br />
The first topic is on the <strong>technical</strong> <strong>specialization</strong>s<br />
you have to choose among in the Sustainable<br />
Innovation program: Smart Systems, Sustainable<br />
Living <strong>and</strong> Sustainable Energy. You have to make<br />
a final choice for one of these <strong>specialization</strong>s<br />
in quartile 2. More information on these<br />
<strong>specialization</strong>s you will find in this brochure.<br />
The second topic is the <strong>Calculus</strong> course which will<br />
take place in the first quartile of your first year.<br />
Do you want to switch<br />
to the other variant<br />
of <strong>Calculus</strong>?<br />
Please let us know!<br />
There are two variants of <strong>Calculus</strong>: the formal<br />
variant 2WBB0 (the B variant, code 2WBB0, see<br />
education.tue.nl, activities) <strong>and</strong> the applied variant<br />
2WAB0 (the A variant, code 2WAB0, see education.<br />
tue.nl, activities). Everyone will automatically<br />
be registered for 2WBB0 (please read the more<br />
information section on the back for further<br />
important information).<br />
In this brochure you will find information about the<br />
content of each <strong>specialization</strong> with the <strong>Calculus</strong><br />
variant each <strong>specialization</strong> requires. 1<br />

In the first quartile of this year we will organize an information<br />
meeting to inform you more about the <strong>specialization</strong>s in detail.<br />
The Smart Systems <strong>specialization</strong><br />
The Smart Systems <strong>specialization</strong> mainly focuses on<br />
questions such as: how can ICT be used to address<br />
sustainability-related issues? The first technology<br />
course for the Smart Systems <strong>specialization</strong> is DBL<br />
(Design-Based Learning) Hypermedia. In this course<br />
you learn to design, create <strong>and</strong> analyze hypermedia<br />
documents <strong>and</strong> information systems. In the second<br />
year you follow three other technology courses that<br />
further extend your knowledge in this area.<br />
The four courses of Smart Systems:<br />
• Hypermedia<br />
• Logic <strong>and</strong> Set Theory<br />
• Data Structures<br />
• Computer Networks <strong>and</strong> Security<br />
You will be admitted to this <strong>specialization</strong> with<br />
the applied or formal variant of <strong>Calculus</strong>.<br />
The Sustainable Living <strong>specialization</strong><br />
(not available for students who don’t speak Dutch)<br />
In this <strong>specialization</strong> you study sustainable<br />
innovations in buildings <strong>and</strong> homes. Is living on<br />
water possible from a technological, economic<br />
<strong>and</strong> juridical point of view? Would you <strong>and</strong> other<br />
users want to live in a smart home? You gain critical<br />
knowledge <strong>and</strong> competences for the analysis <strong>and</strong><br />
design of innovations in sustainable building.<br />
The first course for this Sustainable Living<br />
<strong>specialization</strong> is Construction Analysis, given by<br />
the Built Environment department. This covers the<br />
assets <strong>and</strong> quality of building materials, as well<br />
as the question of the utility of different materials<br />
for certain applications. This is the first of four<br />
compulsory technology courses.<br />
The four courses of Sustainable Living:<br />
• Analyse van Constructies<br />
• Bouwfysisch en installatie-technisch ontwerpen<br />
• Dimensioneren van Constructies<br />
• Project<br />
You will be admitted to this <strong>specialization</strong> with<br />
the applied or formal variant of <strong>Calculus</strong>.<br />
The Sustainable Energy <strong>specialization</strong><br />
(Dutch variant)<br />
The increase of use of oil <strong>and</strong> gas seems to have<br />
dramatic effects on the heating of the earth.<br />
Therefore we need fundamental changes in our<br />
energy supply. Sustainable Energy is becoming<br />
more <strong>and</strong> more important. Technologies to win<br />
energy out of wind, sun, water <strong>and</strong> bio mass have to<br />
be further developed. We need specialists to make<br />
that revolution possible. The Sustainable Energy<br />
<strong>specialization</strong> educates students to become such a<br />
specialist in the technological, social <strong>and</strong> economic<br />
aspects of sustainable energy.<br />
The first course for the Sustainable Energy<br />
<strong>specialization</strong> (Dutch) is OGO (Design-Based<br />
Learning) Propeller, given by the Mechanical<br />
Engineering department. In this OGO course you<br />
will work in small groups on design projects such as<br />
the design of rotating filters <strong>and</strong> the analysis of a<br />
mechanically vibrating system. This is the first of four<br />
compulsory technology courses.<br />
The four courses of Sustainable Energy<br />
(Dutch variant):<br />
• OGO Propeller<br />
• Thermodynamica<br />
• OGO Verbr<strong>and</strong>ingsmotor<br />
• Stromingsleer<br />
This <strong>specialization</strong> requires 2WBB0, the formal<br />
variant of <strong>Calculus</strong>.<br />
The Sustainable Energy <strong>specialization</strong><br />
(English variant)<br />
The increase of use of oil <strong>and</strong> gas seems to have<br />
dramatic effects on the heating of the earth.<br />
Therefore we need fundamental changes in our<br />
energy supply. Sustainable Energy is becoming more<br />
<strong>and</strong> more important. Technologies to win energy<br />
out of wind, sun, water <strong>and</strong> bio mass have to be<br />
further developed. We need specialists to make<br />
that revolution possible. The Sustainable Energy<br />
<strong>specialization</strong> educates students to become such a<br />
specialist in the technological, social <strong>and</strong> economic<br />
aspects of sustainable energy.<br />
The first course for the Sustainable Energy<br />
<strong>specialization</strong> (English) is Mathematics Electrical<br />
Engineering. This course covers mathematical<br />
techniques, for example how to work with matrices<br />
<strong>and</strong> how to solve a system of linear equations<br />
(multiple equations with multiple<br />
unknowns).<br />
The four courses of Sustainable Energy<br />
(English variant):<br />
• Mathematics Electrical Engineering<br />
• Electromagnetics<br />
• Electronic Circuits<br />
• Systems<br />
This <strong>specialization</strong> requires 2WBB0, the formal<br />
variant of <strong>Calculus</strong>.
