NOTE: Every attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in this study guide. In case of discrepancy, the ofcial Course and Examination Regulations (OER), including the Implementation Regulations, take precedence over this or any other study guide.
Enrolment for the Propaedeuse and Bachelors degree audit Students must apply for the Bachelors degree audit no later than 20 working days before the Board of Examiners results meeting for the nal Master of Science degree takes place. Examination schedule The schedule for the written examinations can be found on the TAS website (www.tas.tudelft.nl). Ordering study materials TU Delft has decided to make it possible for students to order readers through the Internet. The immediate advantage of this is that you can order your study materials at any time and from anywhere in the world and that the materials will be delivered to the address specied by you as soon as you have paid the order amount. It is also possible to pick up your order at the campus. Readers can be ordered online through Blackboard (blackboard.tudelft.nl). For access to Blackboard, you will need the NetID and password you received when you enrolled at TU Delft. STUDENT HEALTH CARE The university psychologists are part of the Student Health Care organisation (in Dutch the SGZ). The SGZ is an independent organisation, which also offers preventive medical care for students. The university physicians also serve as ordinary general practitioners. The SGZ is located in the SGZ healthcare centre.
20
Address: Surinamestraat 4 2612 EA Delft To make an appointment, call +31 (0)15 212 1507. The healthcare centre also has a physiotherapist and an ordinary physicians practice. Opening times: 8:30 to 12:15 You may report to the university physicians for vaccinations, medical check-ups and medical declarations. University physicians also help and advise students who have physical or psychological problems that could be detrimental to their studies. EMERGENCIES BEFORE OR DURING EXAMS You may have a problem reaching the venue where you are due to sit an examination. You may be confronted with unexpected trafc jams, a railway power cut or something else entirely beyond your control, causing you to be late or to have to miss the exam altogether. In such cases it is always wise, if possible, to contact one of the academic counsellors directly, Karel Karsen (tel. +31 (0)15 27 83337) or Pascal de Smidt (tel. +31 (0)15 27 81068). They will then contact the lecturers responsible for the examination immediately and try to nd a suitable solution. Bear in mind that such steps can only be taken in the event of real emergencies and that a perfect solution cannot always be found. Students who arrive late for the examination because of travel delays are obliged to report immediately to the invigilator. He or she will then decide on the best plan of action. Obviously all this only applies to students who have registered in time for examinations through the usual channels and according to the usual procedures.

Bachelor/Master system: a brief explanation

Bachelor/Master system: a brief explanation In the year 2000, 29 European ministers of education signed the Bologna Declaration on the European Space of Higher Education. This declaration was the rst step towards implementing the Bachelor/Master system in the Netherlands. The main goals of this system are: - to stimulate international mobility of students; - to develop of international study paths; - to increase transparency and harmonisation of the educational system; - to improve international recognition of Dutch educational programmes. The system was introduced at Dutch universities in September 2002. TU Delft is the rst university in the Netherlands to apply the system to all its degree programmes. The traditional 5 year study programme is now divided into a 3 year BSc programme, and a 2 year MSc programme. TU Delft has further decided on the following Major-Minor structure for all its BSc programmes: a Major of 150 ECTS and a Minor of 30 ECTS scheduled for the fth semester of the BSc programme. The introduction of the Minors offers a greater choice to students to broaden their curriculum, and to improve exibility for their future study paths, as by doing a Minor, students can get acquainted with topics that are not central to their BSc Major. To achieve this TU Delft offers a wide range of Minors to its students. The BSc programme culminates in a BSc thesis. Only after completing the MSc programme is the university education considered complete. Features of BSc: - selecting and orientating for preliminary exams; - collective courses in clusters; - a fth semester dedicated to the Minor programme; - BSc thesis as an integral part of the degree programme; - Dutch is the language of instruction.
22
Features of MSc: - several tracks and specializations based on research; - improved access to programmes for foreign students; - English is the language of instruction; - degree results in the title Master of Science. TU Delft would like to emphasise that the introduction of the new system does not interfere with the progress of students who started their programme before 2002. If students who started their university education under the old system nevertheless experience difculties, they are advised to consult the academic counsellor. MSC PROGRAMME The two-year Master of Science (MSc) programme is aimed at talented students who hold at least a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree, or an equivalent degree, in a relevant technical or engineering discipline. The MSc programme provides academic training with excellent prospects for an international career. The working language of the programme throughout each course is English. Students from more than 30 countries in Asia, Africa, America and Europe participate in the TU Delft MSc programme. The prime objective of the MSc programme is to offer a challenging highlevel education and research environment. The courses provide students with ample opportunities to analyse technical problems and develop innovative solutions. Furthermore, TU Delft, by virtue of its long tradition as an advanced learning centre and also by virtue of its broader setting in Europe, invariably stimulates the students personal creativity, self-reliance and originality. The MSc International programme brings together bright young people and places them in an international and intercultural atmosphere, in which they will also discover a lot about each other and will learn from each other. The group members, sharing unfamiliarity with various new circumstances, are likely to develop a sense of solidarity and mutual understanding, respect and appreciation. This not only has a meaningful effect on the students own personal and professional growth and awareness, but also contributes to a better future world.

23
Depending on the course, the rst year comprises theoretical study, assignments and laboratory work. The second year is largely devoted to the nal thesis work, which involves participation in the universitys advanced research or design projects or development work in a company. All courses devote ample attention to a broadly based general development of the prospective engineer. As such, the student may also acquire knowledge of business economics, economics, and law, and will develop considerable social and communicative skills. An internship, which can be completed at a scientic institute or company in the Netherlands or abroad, may be a component of the study programme. Continuous attention is devoted to the universitys educational system. In addition to the lectures, tutorials, and practicals, new educational forms and methods are introduced when necessary and desirable. From the rst year on, students learn to work in project groups. Tutors counsel students throughout the rst phase of their study, and students can ask for advice and guidance from advisers throughout their study at TU Delft. RESEARCH Well over 2300 scientists and 650 PhD researchers at TU Delft contribute to the technological innovations which are so characteristic of the present era. The researchers conduct both fundamental theoretical research and practical research. The fundamental research is nanced by the Ministry of Education and Science and by foundations for fundamental and pure scientic research, such as the NWO (The Netherlands Organisation for Scientic Research). Thesis work of MSc and PhD researchers is an important element of the research programmes.

Department of Geotechnology
The organisation of the department Applied Earth Sciences degree courses at Delft University of Technology are organised by the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. Apart from the Applied Earth Sciences programme, this faculty is also responsible for the Civil Engineering curriculum as well as coordinating the interfaculty Masters degree courses in Geomatics and TIL (Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics). The Faculty is participating in the interfaculty Master degree course Offshore Engineering. The Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences comprises ve different departments. One of the departments, Geotechnology, is oriented towards geoscience. Geotechnology was formed by a merger of the former Department of Applied Earth Sciences and the section Geo-Engineering. The latter was also born out of a previous merger, of four different and relatively small sections, all focussing on different aspects of engineering in the Earths shallow subsurface. The department now consists of four sections, namely Geo-Engineering Petroleum Engineering Applied Geophysics & Petrophysics Applied Geology The department is responsible for the BSc curriculum in Applied Earth Sciences and the MSc tracks Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences; Geo-Engineering (a joint programme in Applied Earth Sciences and Civil Engineering); Applied Geophysics (jointly offered with IDEA League partners); and two courses that are run jointly with three other European universities of Aachen, Exeter and Helsinki and the 3mE faculty at the TU Delft, the European Mineral Engineering Course and the European Mining Course. Mission of the department The Department of Geotechnology does research in the judicious use of the subsurface of the Earth and the sustainable exploration thereof, as well as the exploitation and use of raw and recycled materials. The Department, therefore, endeavours to:

25
investigate, describe, and predict those natural systems and processes that dene the characteristics and distribution of the Earths materials; provide relevant and benecial approaches to geological and engineering aspects of the exploitation, use and re-use of the Earths surface and subsurface, and its raw materials; evaluate the entire material cycle (raw materials, use, waste, re-use of material) by considering the impact of the infrastructure on the environment and economics, and investigate the technology that will minimise this impact; develop novel, sound and responsible engineering techniques to construct in and on the Earths subsurface The department exploits the synergy between the research groups, i.e. the more earth-science oriented groups of geology and geophysics on the one hand, and the more engineering-oriented groups of petroleum engineering and geoengineering on the other. The mineral and material properties and the dynamic processes of the Earth (including the mineralogy of waste and products) bridge these disciplines and form the common thread in our department. Therefore an important goal of this department is to promote the responsible and sustainable use of the Earths natural mineral and material resources. In short, the departments mission is to: Reveal and explain the Earths resources and support their responsible use in an environmentally conscious manner for the benet of society THE GEOTECHNOLOGY STUDY PROGRAMME The Geotechnology community is small. This has the advantage that it is exible and people know each other. Because the courses are broad and internationally oriented, graduates can nd employment in a wide range of businesses that lie both inside and outside the disciplines covered by Geotechnology. Four major areas can be identied in Geotechnology: - Petroleum Engineering & Geosciences (which includes reservoir engineering, petrophysics, production geology, drilling technology and reservoir geology); - Resource Engineering (which includes mining, processing, metallurgy and recycling); - Engineering Geology (which includes tunnelling, the use of underground space, rock mechanics, ground stability and site investigation);
26
- Applied Geophysics (which includes hydrocarbon exploration, monitoring of hydrocarbon production, environmental & engineering geophysics, petrophysics and geothermal exploration and management). ORGANISATION Head of the Geotechnology Department Prof. S.M. Luthi is the head of the department and has the nal responsibility for education. Within the department there are a number of people and committees responsible for educational matters. They are: The Director of Studies The Director of Studies, Dr R. Weijermars (telephone +31 (0)15 27 87801) has a wide range of responsibilities including the organisation, content and quality of the education and the development of policies and plans related to future developments in the eld of education. The Board of Studies (Opleidingscommissie/OC) Dutch law requires each study programme to have a Board of Studies, advising the Dean and the Director of Studies on educational matters. Half the board members are students; the other half are scientic staff. The Board of Examiners (Examencommissie/EC) This Board is responsible for the organisation and co-ordination of all examinations and the assignment of examiners. The board draws up instructions and guidelines for student assessment. The Board is also in charge of approving the individual educational programmes proposed by students.

University and Faculty Student Councils There are two student councils: the University Student Council and the Faculty Student Council. Both hold yearly elections. The University Student Council is elected by all students, while the Faculty Student Council elects candidates from a degree programme offered by the faculty only. These councils have some formal rights, such as the approval of programmes. Ask your Student Society for details. RESEARCH The Department carries out a wide range of research. The common denominator is the link between earth sciences, raw materials and technology. The research covers exploration, extracting and processing solid, uid and gaseous mineral resources, and other uses of the subsurface. It also covers resource consumption and recycling of recourses, and the associated engineering, energy and economic aspects. The research focuses on practical applications that are clearly relevant to industry or society at large.

MSc programme Applied Earth Sciences

GOALS OF THE MSC PROGRAMME Applied Earth Sciences is concerned with the interaction between Man and Earth. This interaction takes the form of exploration, extraction, processing and utilisation of raw materials, engineering and construction projects, and the impact of these activities on the environment. As a consequence of new technologies, insights and concept that dene the geological subsurface have been completely revolutionised. Industry has become aware that integrating geology with engineering is vital to optimise the recovery of underground resources: the geological reality determines the feasibility of the industrial processes. In civil engineering, groundwater and mining activities, it is essential to incorporate geological characterisation and modelling into the design. Education and research linking applied sciences to geology is therefore at the core of our department. The department is by nature strongly multi-disciplinary. Research in the department focuses on long-term fundamental issues that may lead to industrial applications. The department exploits the synergy between research groups working in the areas of geophysics, geology, petroleum engineering, engineering geology and resource engineering. This synergy between disciplines is also characteristic of the MSc courses. The MSc courses encourage students to take an interdisciplinary approach, while maintaining the option to explore in depth the chosen track. Students can choose to specialise in one of the following areas: Applied Geophysics, Reservoir Geology, Petroleum Engineering, Engineering Geology, Mining Engineering and Minerals Engineering. Anticipating the future professions of the students, the course has a strong international character. The academic staff forms part of a vigorous international network, which includes both industry and universities. There are active collaborations with highly respected foreign universities that have resulted in joint degree programmes and student exchanges. The quality of the MSc course is internationally recognised by universities and industrial companies alike.

GENERAL GOALS OF THE MSC PROGRAMME The Dublin Descriptors is a European framework that denes the quality requirements of academic courses. The department applied these standards and has identied the following general goals for its MSc graduates: Knowledge and Understanding the ability to draw on a broad and deep scientic knowledge and analytically apply this to their work; Applying Knowledge and Understanding the ability to synthesise knowledge and to solve complex problems creatively; Making Judgements the development of sound judgment, personal responsibility and initiative that will enable them to deal competently with complex and unpredictable professional environments; the ability to identify the possible ethical, social, environmental, aesthetic and economic implications of their work, to which they can furthermore respond appropriately; Communication the ability to assume leading roles (including management roles) in companies and research organisations, and the ability to contribute to innovation; the language and communication skills to work in an international environment, and to show social and cultural sensitivity. These skills will in part have been acquired through experience of team work and any study periods abroad; Learning Skills the ability to work and learn independently, and an awareness of the need to update their knowledge and skills continually.

31
SPECIFIC GOALS OF THE MSC PROGRAMME In addition to the general goals listed above, the department has the following specic goals for the MSc students it wishes to attract to its programmes, and the competencies that they should acquire: The MSc course should be open to all students who obtain a BSc in a relevant technical, engineering, or natural science discipline from any country, provided the degree is of a sufciently high standard; Graduates should have an awareness how their eld relates to other disciplines, and the ability to engage in interdisciplinary work; Graduates will have a command of the following: - domain and subject-specic skills and competencies that include the core knowledge and understanding required in the eld of Applied Earth Sciences; - knowledge of the methods and technical practices used in this eld of study; - relevant theoretical knowledge and methods, including modelling; - advanced knowledge of specic areas of their chosen specialisation; - knowledge of the specic methods and approaches in their eld of specialisation; Graduates will extend the understanding or application of this knowledge by doing original research work integrated into the research activity of the department, culminating in a thesis. STRUCTURE OF THE MSC PROGRAMME The MSc programme in Applied Earth Sciences has been developed to achieve these goals within the Bachelors/Masters structure that was introduced in the Netherlands fairly recently. The MSc programmes, ofcially introduced at TU Delft in 2002, have two alternative structures. Both guarantee interdisciplinary awareness and avoid over-specialisation: 1. A programme provided fully by TU Delft, consisting of a backbone of common courses, given principally in the rst year, complemented by specialised courses and thesis work in the second year. This structure exists for the Masters track in Petroleum Engineering & Geosciences, which offers two specialisations: Reservoir Geology and Petroleum Engineering. Since September 2006 a similar structure exists for the specialisation Engineering Geology, within the broader track of Geo-Engineering and in cooperation with Civil Engineering. 32
2. An international programme, involving different European universities. Students take courses at different universities throughout the rst year, returning to Delft for their thesis work. This structure exists for the Masters track Resource Engineering and its two specialisations: Mining Engineering and Mineral Processing (both in collaboration with Aachen, Helsinki and Exeter), and the Applied Geophysics track (in collaboration with Aachen and Zurich). The international tracks of the MSc Applied Earth Sciences have a high proportion of full time foreign students in the Resource Engineering programmes (provided fully by TU Delft), as well as students who spend shorter periods at Delft through exchange programmes with reputable foreign universities (University of Texas at Austin, Colorado School of Mines, NTNU in Norway, Leoben University in Austria, Madrid University).

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING & GEOSCIENCES Petroleum Engineering The Petroleum Engineering specialisation includes all aspects of the upstream petroleum industry, from reservoir and production engineering to economical evaluation and the optimisation of project development. The main objective of the course is for students to integrate knowledge of the different aspects of petroleum engineering (reservoir technology, petrophysics, production technology, production geology). This will enable them to manage the development of an oil or gas eld, or to do research. Focal points in research and education Real-time reservoir characterization and optimization of reservoir development Fluid ow modelling honouring multi-scale geological heterogeneity Conformance control, inow performance and smart wells Placement and injectivity of uids and chemical treatments Improved oil recovery Unconventional hydrocarbon recovery CO2 sequestration Hydraulic fracturing Groundwater ow and subsurface environmental remediation The rst year consists of the fundamental subjects (hydrocarbon properties, rock-uid interaction, and numerical mathematics), the basic disciplines (drilling and production technology, petrophysics), and a module on technology and society worth 6 ECTS. There are two compulsory trips in the rst year of the MSc programme: the geological eldwork, and the visiting of companies. The total cost of both these trips is around 675,- . These trips are not included in the tuition fee and have to be paid for by the students themselves. The second year includes a eld development project (6 ECTS), elective courses (6 ECTS), and the nal thesis project. A multi-disciplinary approach, integrating engineering and geosciences, is central to the course programme. At the same time a signicant part of the
36
programme is dedicated to the underlying fundamentals. The programme as a whole is therefore structured to ensure that our alumni are equipped to solve not just the problems of today but also those of the future. Employment Our graduates work in a wide range of companies related to the petroleum industry: oil and gas companies, contractors, engineering companies, operators, and nancial institutions across the world. Some graduates go on to enrol in PhD programmes; these can also be all over the world. Contact For further information about the course content please contact Prof. W.R. Rossen. Tel: +31 (0)15 27 86038 E-mail: w.r.rossen@tudelft.nl RESERVOIR GEOLOGY Course objectives The Reservoir Geology course trains students to use modern measurements, computational methods and new geological concepts to obtain a quantitative understanding of the processes that laid down reservoir rocks. These skills are not only highly useful in the petroleum industry but also in other, related branches such as hydrogeology and the search for some emerging new energies. The course meshes closely with the courses in petroleum engineering and geophysics. This course offers a very solid basis to work for companies in the energy sector, above all in the oil and gas industry, but also engineering companies and new venture companies in the energy and natural resource sector. It trains the graduate to think critically and innovatively and it therefore also forms a good basis to continue in a PhD programme. Focal points in research are: Quantitative reservoir characterisation Process-based modelling at reservoir and grain scale Analogue eld studies of recent and ancient deposits

Tel: +31 (0)15 27 86019 E-mail: S.M.Luthi@tudelft.nl GEO-ENGINEERING Course objective Civil Engineering and (Applied) Earth Sciences students are trained alongside the Geo-Engineering track in order to allow them to make a contribution to: 1. providing innovative solutions for the construction, dredging and offshore industries in the Netherlands and worldwide, in the context of varied construction works and contrasting environments; 2. effectively facing the challenges of the Dutch subsurface, which is characterized by poor ground conditions and a high water table; 3. supporting the ever-growing development of the country, whilst providing adequate protection against ooding. The core programme of the Geo-Engineering track provides students with a conceptual understanding of the mechanical and hydrological interactions between subsurface materials and engineered structures. The primary objectives are for students to gain a sound understanding of the fundamentals of geo-engineering, and to encourage new ideas through cross-fertilisation with different elds.
38
The Geo-Engineering track has four specialisations: - Engineering Geology - Geomechanics - Geotechnical Engineering - Underground Space Technology Focal points in education and research Ground risk and its management have an increasing visibility in the MSc programme, reecting the aim of the Geo-Engineering Section: to reduce ground uncertainty with the aid of geological expertise in order to limit risk in construction and to assist the sustainable development of low-land countries, their near-shore and offshore areas. Employment Expertise gained at TUDelft can be utilised in any country, and the training that is provided is particularly relevant to development in coastal areas and/or difcult ground conditions and/or limited space. Contact For more infromation, please send an e-mail to J.P.Oostveen@tudelft.nl ENGINEERING GEOLOGY Course objective The Engineering Geology specialisation is designed to provide the student with the expertise and condence needed to be able to identify ground-related problems, and to know how to tackle them. Students will already have a high level of competence in the basics, a working knowledge of industrial applications, and an ability to adapt to new technologies and environmental conditions. Focal points in education and research The Engineering Geology specialisation covers the full spectrum of engineering geology disciplines pertinent to the needs of low-lying countries. Subjects covered include the durability of coastal defences and the impacts of both the dredging and offshore industries, as well as the fundamentals of geology, soil

mechanics, rock mechanics, and hydrogeology. A substantial proportion of the course consists of eldwork. Exposure to the complexity of the subsurface and its dynamic processes is progressively developed through the study of idealised case studies (games), case histories, and an intensive eldwork programme based on observation, analysis and communication. Site visits and guest lectures by industrial partners are central to the development of the students understanding of the subject, as well as providing an opportunity to forge strong links with potential employers. MSc students are encouraged to participate in the sections research activity in their nal graduation project. The MSc theses involve the integration of theory and data derived from eld observation, eld tests or laboratory work. The following research projects are on-going: - Methodology towards a Shared Earth Model for engineering purposes; - Inverse modelling of ground monitoring data; - The making of present-day deltas: how they evolved and how they respond to changes in the sediments; - The unusual fabric of Dutch organic soils and its environmental geomechanics; - Anisotropic geomechanical parameters as a result of glacial shearing; - Electromagnetic characterisation of peat deposits; - Degradation and strengthening of geomaterials (asphalt, carbonate sands, rocks of marginal quality). Employment Engineering geologists graduating from TU Delft are employed world-wide by engineering consultants, contractors, municipalities, national and international governmental ministries, and nancial institutions concerned with assessing engineering challenges and geohazards.

CONVERGENCE COURSE Introduction The convergence course covers basic subjects that are fundamental to the rest of the MSc programme: students are not expected to know about all of these subjects in advance. The convergence course is taught during the rst period of the MSc programmes and is intended to cover those subjects that were not included in the students Bachelors programme. Depending on their individual background, students will be told which parts of the convergence course they have to take. The convergence course consists of several parts: 1. Introduction to Geology (4 ECTS) AES1910 2. Petroleum Geology (3 ECTS) AES3820 3. Introduction to reection seismics (1 ECTS) AES3520 4. Geological excursion (1 ECTS) AES1913 5. In addition to this, all students who do not have an AES BSc must attend the basic course Image Analysis (AES0101) taught over the course of three afternoons. The convergence courses will be concluded by a written examination at the end of the rst period. For MSc students of Petroleum Engineering the convergence course consists in most cases of all the abovementioned parts. Students with a strong background in Geology can use the credits reserved for the convergence course on mathematics, physics or elective courses, inside or outside the department. Each student has to agree with the regelaar (the course organiser) how these credits will be covered. Students with an AES BSc degree can choose to cover the credits for the convergence course in the following manner. They can: 1. choose electives within AES; 2. choose electives outside AES (e.g. at Civil Engineering, TPM); 3. add these credits to their BSc thesis; 4. use these credits for an internship; Please note that the particulars always need to be agreed with the relevant regelaar.

Study information
ACADEMIC YEAR The student year ofcially starts on 1 September, and ends on 31 August of the following year. The 2007-2008 academic year will start on 3 September 2007. The Department of Geotechnology has divided the academic year into four blocks. Each block consists of around seven weeks of teaching (study and courses), followed by an exam period of variable length. Holidays are scheduled for Christmas, Easter and the summer. ATTENDANCE During teaching periods students should attend lectures, group tutorials, etc. but they will not be compelled to do so. All laboratory practicals are compulsory however. In view of the intensity of the MSc course, we strongly recommend that students do not take leave of absence during these periods, as they risk missing essential tuition or practical work. The department is not responsible for delays in study progress as a result of such absences, and will not initiate remedial action. ECTS CREDITS AND GRADING ECTS credits The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme. These objectives are preferably specied in terms of learning outcomes and competences. The key features of ECTS are: - The workload of a full-time student during one academic year is 60 credits. The student workload of a full-time study programme in the Netherlands amounts to 1680 hours per year, i.e. one ECTS stands for 28 working hours. - Student workload in ECTS includes time spent on attending lectures, practical work, independent study, assignment work, preparation for examinations, etc.
STUDY G U I D E MS C 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
43
- Credits are allocated to all educational components of a study programme (such as modules, courses, placements, dissertation work, etc.) and reect the quantity of work required for each component proportionate to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of the relevant study programme. - Credits in ECTS can only be obtained after the required work has been completed successfully and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes has taken place. The two-year MSc course comprises 120 ECTS in total. Details about the modules in the different MSc courses - and their credit point values can be found in a separate chapter in this study guide. Grading scale and grades Student performance is documented by an ECTS grade. The ECTS grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis (see also Table). The Dutch grading system rates work with marks ranging from 1 (the minimum score) to 10 (excellent). A mark of 6 is a pass; a mark of 5 or lower is a fail. Sometimes instead of a numerical score a descriptive appreciation of the practical work is given. The following ECTS grading scale has been proposed, however this scale has not yet been accepted ofcially at TU Delft. Nevertheless the scale gives a good indication of how a mark can be translated into many other grading scales in Europe. Grades in the Dutch university education system (Graded from 1 to 10)

HONOURS TRACK An honours track is a special individual programme on top of the regular Masters programme of about 800 hours (30 ECTS) and is related to the discipline of the Master and/or the role of technology in society. It offers more depth, for example in preparation of a PhD programme, or it provides a wider orientation, for example in the eld of sustainability or another science subject. All honours track students of TU Delft follow a specially developed course of 160 hours. This course is interdisciplinary and focuses on academic competences such as communication skills, philosophy of science, methodology and ethics. The additional programme has to be completed during the course of the students MSc programme of the student. Students who have successfully completed their honours track receive a special certicate from the university. Motivated students who have nished their Bachelors programme with a weighted averaged mark of 7.5 or higher, and students who have excelled during the rst semester (no fails and 7.5 or higher) are eligible for an honours track in their Masters programme. Students who would like to follow an honours track should contact the director of studies, Dr R. Weijermars. Students who full (or will full) the above-mentioned requirements and are interested in an honours track can apply by writing an essay in English. The essay should contain the students motivation and a proposal for their honours track programme. The content of the honours track programme should be thematically consistent, and must be submitted to the director of education for approval. SPECIAL OPTION: TECHNOLOGY IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The special option Technology in Sustainable Development was introduced in September 2000 and can be tted into all MSc curricula at TU Delft. The aim is to equip students with the skills needed to contribute effectively to sustainable technological development. A special mention will be added to the degree certicate. The option is open to all MSc students and allows students to broaden and deepen their knowledge regarding Sustainable Development (SD) and technology.

Depth is acquired by making sure SD is one of the core issues in the students graduation project. Each engineering programme has a so-called SD-referee with the necessary expertise who will assess whether SD is sufciently elaborated in the research question as well as in the nal thesis. This assessment will focus on how SD has been incorporated in the problem denition, the actual work and the conclusions of the project. Breadth is guaranteed through a number of elective courses in the eld of SD, and the Colloquium Technology in Sustainable Development (wm0922TU). This colloquium aims to teach the students how to apply a long-term vision in determining engineering priorities. The colloquium takes place over 2 full weeks (one week is a boat trip) , also requiring self-study. It is offered twice a year (in English in autumn, and in Dutch in spring). To summarise, three requirements have to be satised to be eligible for the special mention Technology in Sustainable Development: - the graduation project must focus on an SD (related) problem. The referee advises a student on the SD content of their work; - students have to participate in the Colloquium Technology in Sustainable Development (wm0922TU), 4 ECTS. This is a two-week course on recent developments in SD and introduces students to the so-called Sustainable Technological Development method; - students have to pass SD elective courses for a minimum of 11 ECTS to be chosen from two clusters, consisting of at least 5 technical ECTS (the cluster Design, Analysis, Tools), and 5 non-technical ECTS (the cluster Organisation, Policy and Society). For a list see: www.odo.tudelft.nl Project group Education in Sustainable Development (ODO) The project group Education in Sustainable Development supports all departments in their efforts to integrate Sustainable Development in their degree programmes. It is hosted by the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management.

PROGRAMME EVALUATION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE Students opinions are important to determine the quality of the education. Feedback helps the department to identify bottlenecks. Therefore, quarterly course evaluations take place between the quality assurance advisor, and the students association. Sometimes lecturers themselves also attend these evaluation meetings. Course evaluation is a tool to improve the quality of the education. Positive and negative feedback are both important. If necessary, recommendations are made on how to improve courses. Courses are evaluated on the basis of: report of the Sensor survey; results of the course evaluation; teachers response. The student association plays an important role in these evaluations. The student association often contributes information that would otherwise not come to the fore. Evaluation results will be discussed in the Board of Studies.

Facilities
STUDENT INFORMATION Monitor The monitors in the hallway display the most urgent notices about for instance changes in the schedules or cancelled lectures. It is advisable to check the monitors every day. Newsletter The Department has its own newsletter, called Nieuwsbrief. This Nieuwsbrief will be e-mailed to all students of Applied Earth Sciences regularly (approx. monthly) and contains a variety of news and information submitted by students and staff from the department. Website The website http://campus.citg.tudelft.nl contains the most recent information. Delta TU Delfts newspaper, Delta, is published weekly. It provides, along with all the latest University news, interesting articles and interviews, job vacancies, lm reviews, etc. The last pages Delta in English are dedicated to English-speaking readers, and contain an overview of the main articles and latest news items. COMPUTER FACILITIES All new students are automatically registered to use the Universitys computing facilities. The university provides each student with an e-mail account. INSURANCE Health insurance: According to Dutch law, everyone must be covered by adequate medical insurance, since the Dutch government does not accept any responsibility in the case of illness or hospitalisation. Add to this the high cost of all forms of medical treatment and you will see that it is absolutely necessary for you to be insured. See for more information the Visiting Students Guide. Legal liability: If you are to blame for an accident that injures someone or if you
50
damage another persons property, you are in principle responsible for paying all costs arising from the accident. The resulting claim for damages could be very high. You are strongly urged to take out third-party insurance. TU Delft is in no way liable or responsible for any lack of insurance. STUDYING ABROAD Within the Geotechnology department it is sometimes possible to arrange part of your studies abroad. Various cooperative arrangements already exist with various universities, all of which make international exchange simpler. (Unfortunately this is not open to foreign MSc students because of visa problems.) For addresses in the various countries go to the www.tudelft.nl/buitenland site. For further information please contact Pascal de Smidt, room 2.79, tel. +31 (0)15 2781068 . STUDENT SOCIETY Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging (MV) student society Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging Tel: +31 (0)15 27 86039 E-mail: mv@tudelft.nl The Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging is a student society which assists students with their studies and provides social events which help them build up an international network! The MV was founded in Delft in 1892. At rst the sole objective was to organise lectures and excursions, later this objective was expanded to providing social events and to form a solid bond between staff and students. Over the years the MV has become a mature society respected by Delft University, the faculty staff and major international companies. The Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging is a society which was originally only open to students from the Department of Applied Earth Sciences. Nowadays it is not strictly a society for Dutch students anymore, since many foreign students have come to Delft over the last couple of years to complete their studies in their MSc

phase. The MV nds it important that during their stay in Delft foreign students get to know Dutch students and the typical Dutch student life. Social and student life in Delft originates mostly from the fraternities and other student associations. Nowadays these are all open both to females and males. One of the qualities that make Delft students stand out from the rest is that they participate in more events than classes only. They tune their soft skills so to speak. The MV is a student association which offers all the aspects of student life in Holland. We offer assistance with courses; we organise lectures, excursions and parties. We even have our own pub in the centre of Delft. Because of all these events, students get to know each other easily on a professional and a social level. During the rst few weeks in Delft it can be quite handy to get to know certain people who know the ropes. The board therefore organises a welcome in Het Noorden shortly after the start of the academic year. Company visits to the faculty are also organised by the MV. This is done for students who are a member of the MV. Twice a year, both resource engineering and oil companies will come to the faculty and give a presentation, followed by drinks afterwards. Some will offer interviews at the faculty, while the rest will inform you of their recruiting system and their career opportunities. Attending these presentations is very useful, since it can offer you better chances when applying for a job. The graduation ceremony is another occasion where the bond between the faculty and the MV is apparent. Every member of the MV is given a Hckel, a symbol of responsibility when they have graduated, a unique symbol known to many around. Glck Auf!

To successfully complete this course you are supposed to start with at least a basic knowledge of mathematics and reservoir engineering. The mathematical prerequisites concern differential equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis and statistics. Some of this material will be recapitulated in these lecture notes, but if you are unfamiliar with the basics it will be necessary to refer to a good textbook. Some textbooks are mentioned in these notes, but their choice is based on the somewhat arbitrary experience by the author, and many other good texts are available. For the reservoir engineering background it is expected that you have successfully completed the courses AES3110/1320 (Rock-uid interaction) and AES1340/1350 (Reservoir engineering and simulation). In particular for the reservoir simulation aspects we will frequently refer to the textbook of Aziz and Settari (1979). Lectures, discussions, reading exercises, Matlab exercises
