In 2023-2024 Bachelor College 2.0 (After Redesign AR) was implemented at TU/e and with it the curriculum of the Bachelor Mechanical Engineering changed.
All students who started in 2023/2024 or later, will follow the new curriculum.
The current curricula of students who started before 2023/2024, will be phased out in the upcoming 2 years. Please check the presentation of the impact of the new curriculum (given on October 2024) here for a quick overview of what this means for you.
How will the new curriculum affect me?
If you started your bachelor’s program in 2022/2023 or before that, you basically continue to follow the curriculum of the year you started.Please check the downloads below for the corresponding curriculum of the year you started.
However, the new curriculum might already affect your planning!
How big the impact of the new curriculum on your current curriculum is, depends on:
-
Do you still need to complete first-year, or second year courses?
-
Did you not complete your USE learning trajectory yet?
-
Do you still need to complete your elective program?
If one or more of the answers to these questions is ‘YES’, the new curriculum may have consequences for you! But also, if you are a nominal student, the new curriculum can affect your planning. Consider, for example:
-
Changes in courses
Some courses will be phased out, some courses will change in name and /or course code, change quartile or even timeslot, which could directly affect your planning and workload per quartile.
-
Changes in your study program or elective program
Several courses get phased out and are given for the last time in 2023/2024, in 2024/2025 or in 2025/2026. The transition courses or replacement courses can affect your planning and therefore your study progress. Also, some electives will disappear or be replaced or change quartile and can therefore influence your program.
-
USE learning trajectories will be phased out
USE courses are being phased out or replaced! Some courses are already taught for the last time in 2023/2024, others in 2024/2025 or 2025/2026, so be aware! Check the flyers of the USE learning trajectories in the A-Z list on the education guide, with an overview of all coherent packages and USE-learning trajectories offered at TU/e.
-
Possible study delay
Changes in courses, planning, but also a maximum number of courses per quartile, can influence your study progress and can even cause delay.
What actions can I take to prevent study delay?
Below you will find an overview of all changes in courses per year, per quartile.
We strongly recommend that you:
-
Read the overview carefully and compare each quartile with your own corresponding curriculum and check if and where changes will affect your program and reschedule accordingly.
-
Keep track of all announcements on the CANVAS 4INFOJ 1-2-3 channels, (turn on notifications).
-
Study the course descriptions and period and timeslot in which courses are taught carefully in the course catalogue in Osiris and on Canvas .Are courses still available? Have they moved to another quartile or timeslot? Or changed names of course codes?
-
Attend all information sessions about upcoming changes in the curriculum. You will receive updated information about the curriculum and there’s room for questions you might have.
-
Check the flyers on the education guide in the A-Z list, with an overview of all the USE learning trajectories and coherent packages offered at TU/e.
-
Read the newsletters we send you regularly.
-
Keep a close eye on your TU/e e-mails!
-
Email the Academic Advisors or schedule a meeting if you have questions or doubts about your planning.
