The scope of the symposium is advanced engineering design, whereby ‘advanced’ implies non-trivial state-of-the-art methods and tools.

18 november 2010 - 19 november 2010
plaats: Aula and Industrial Design Engineering, TU Delft 

The symposium has three goals:

1. To bring together the experts to disseminate the knowledge, methods and practices among themselves (possibly including a workshop where different approaches towards tackling the same 'model' problem might be investigated)
2. To expose each expert and his/ her institution/ company to a wide interested audience from TU Delft (students, alumni, other guests) in the form of lectures-presentations of their case studies
3. To create a reference book as follows: Depending on the quality and detail of the contributions, they will be edited and rearranged as chapters in a book bearing the same title as the symposium, the aim being to produce a reference work of clear educational value that illustrates the most rigorous (and brilliant) aspects of engineering design, as really practiced by high-tech industry/ institutions. Therefore the focus will be on advanced applied methods with a solid theoretical background (cutting edge, high academic standard), as opposed to i) scores of theories that are difficult/ impractical to apply (too academic) or ii) practical, ad-hoc and purely experience-driven solutions.
