Outline • • Track overview MSc program structure Choosing a thesis supervisor/project BSc versus MSc Aerodynamics profile Wind Energy profile AWEP society Questions • From 17: 00 Meet & Greet (HSL) 3

Track overview Goals: • To advance your knowledge of aerodynamics and wind energy • To strengthen your fundamental analysis skills • To increase your industrial experience • To develop your ability to carry out independent research Means: 1) Specialist courses 2) Internship 3) Literature study and final thesis project 4

MSc programme structure 5

For both Aero and WE profiles – 15 EC Includes two courses mandatory for all tracks Course list: • Viscous flows • CFD for aerospace engineers • Rotor/wake aerodynamics • Ethics and engineering for aerospace engineering • Research methodologies 6

CFD for aerospace engineers Practical issue: this course (AE 4202) is not (yet) included in the time table of the track 7

Aerodynamics profile (15 EC): • Experimental simulations • Aircraft aerodynamics • Partial differential equations A • Gas dynamics • Flow measurement techniques These courses start next week; so choose profile as soon as possible (if you did not yet did so) Wind Energy profile (16 EC): • Site conditions for wind turbine design • Airborne wind energy • Wind turbine design • Aeroelasticity • Wind turbine aeroelasticity 8

Must be approved by profile coordinator How to choose electives? • consider the topics you like most from your BSc • consider possible thesis topics • discuss with teachers / fellow students • look at information on study guide 9

Start organising right away, particularly for international internships 10

Same topic/supervisor as final thesis It is convenient in case you do research methodologies in parallel 11

• Pursues a scientific research question • The student is responsible for the planning and execution of the project; so you are in charge! • Should be suitable for conference/journal publication • Result to be defended in public, and in front of expert committee 12

• All practical issues: AE Airport site! 13

• You are free to choose which group you will graduate from • Some projects, however, will have a preference for students with a certain course profile 14

Choosing a topic and supervisor • • • Consult each group's web site for a description of research areas Consult the group's MSc project descriptions (blackboard/web) Consider the topics you like most from courses Discuss with fellow students (also from previous year) Make appointments with the supervisors associated with the areas of interest to you (any time in the year) • Projects are also available in industry. In this case you still need to find a TU Delft supervisor to monitor the work 15

Some differences between BSc and MSc From the study guide: “On completing the Graduation Project, the student should be able to: Demonstrate that they are capable to independently apply relevant theory and/or knowledge to research and/or design” In order to prepare you also during the MSc courses you will have more responsibility: • you will have more freedom / have to do the planning yourself • for BSc courses it is precisely defined what you should read and what kind of exercises you should be able to do in order to pass the exam; for MSc courses this relation becomes less strict. 16

Communication • You may expect an answer to an e-mail within 2 weeks • … try to respond to e-mails of us within 2 weeks • In case you are not content about a course: Ø First, contact the responsible teacher o it can be clearly discussed in details (instead of general feedback) o it can be adapted during the remaining of the course (instead for next year only) o otherwise (e. g. via a 3 rd person) the distance between teacher and student just becomes larger Ø Next, contact us 17

Things to do (1 st month) • Choose electives (in 1 st semester just 12 ects mandatory courses, so room for 18 ects electives); amongst others: o Introduction to wind energy Note: overlap with CFD for aerospace engineers (AE 4202); Monday at 8: 45 in CZ B so, do the Introduction to WE course on your own • Fill in AE 1 form (take gate Forms at AE Airport) • Plan your study (e. g. with Excel sheet) 23

Planning 25

And finally, two more tips Communicate • With fellow students • With teachers, supervisors, coordinators Enjoy your MSc 26
