Preface

Welcome to the HAN Master’s Degree Program Engineering Systems!

Students and alumni describe the master’s programs as high-quality, contemporary and tailor-

made programs which kick-start their careers. The accreditation score in 2014 (Automotive

Systems) and 2015 (Control Systems Engineering), in which these master programs were

evaluated in terms of aims, contents, organization, staff, facilities, quality assurance and

results, underscore this description.

‘Translation of research into products’ is the focus of the program, meeting the demands of

industry as well as other research institutions which are active in applied research and product

development in the engineering area. There is a need for professionals who are goal oriented -

who are able to translate research into products relevant to market and society. During the

study, students gain the skills and knowledge to plan and carry out research/development

projects that contribute to the development of products. Apart from scientific knowledge and

skills, project management and communication skills are trained during the program.

On the one hand, the program is designed to enable (experienced) technicians to combine

their present work with study. By working on realistic assignments and case studies in the

program, students and employers have direct and tangible advantages in the professional

practice. On the other hand, the program enables future technicians to work on the

qualifications. The acquired qualification enables graduates to start or to continue their career

as a linking pin between technicians and (scientific) management, and between different

departments.

In this document you can find the Degree Statute (DS) and the Education and Examination

Regulations (EER). You will find direct operational information such as curriculum, method of

testing and assessment, practical rules and timetables. For your convenience it is also available

separately on HAN Onderwijs Online. The Degree Statute and Education and Examination

Regulations offer much formal and additional information about procedures and (background

of) the organization of the Master’s Degree Program. It also serves as a guideline for situations

in which a (official and legal) dispute has arisen and you have the opinion that your personal

interests are at stake or even damaged.

The staff is curious to know how this method of providing information is experienced and if it

is satisfactory. Suggestions for improvement are certainly welcome! Therefore do not hesitate

to report suggestions and comments.

We wish you much enjoyment and success!

On behalf of the staff of the Master’s Degree Program Engineering Systems

Kea Bouwman (program manager)

1 About the Degree Statute (DS)

The Higher Education and Research Act (hereafter referred to as “the Act”) stipulates in article

7.59 that an institute such as HAN University of Applied Sciences is obliged to adopt and

publish a Student Charter.

At HAN, the part of the charter that applies to all students, i.e. the institution-specific part, is

called the Student Charter. You can find the Student Charter and all its accompanying

regulations on the HAN website: http://studentenstatuut.han.nl.

At HAN, the degree-specific part is called the Degree Statute (DS).

The Degree Statute consists of five parts including a List of Definitions:

Part 1: General part (Degree Statute)

Part 2: The Education and Examination Regulations (EER), which contains the rules

about the education, final assessments and examinations of your degree program.

Part 3: The Education and Examination Regulations (EER), which defines the

education, final assessments and examinations of your degree program

Part 4: Regulations of the Board of Examiners

Part 5: Regulations of the Degree Committees

Note that Part 1 is purely informative. No rights can be derived from it. Rights and obligations

are derived from the other parts; these are legally applicable regulations.

1.1 Who is this Degree Statute for?

This is the Degree Statute for the following degree programs at HAN University of Applied

Sciences (BRIN1-nummer 25KB 1):

1.2 How do you read this Degree Statute

1. We use regular US spelling rules.

2. When we refer to ‘you’, we mainly mean you as an internal or external student enrolled

in these degree programs at HAN University of Applied Sciences. We also refer to others,

such as prospective students.

1.3 How long is the Degree Statute valid for?

Each academic year the departments at HAN University of Applied Sciences make a new

Degree Statute (DS) and new Education and Examination Regulations (EER). The DS-EER for a

certain academic year applies to everyone who is enrolled in that degree program for that

academic year. It does not matter which phase of your degree program you are in, whether

you are an internal or external student, nor when you started. You can find your DS-EER here:

https://www.han.nl/opleidingen/master/en/engineering-systems/course-overview/

This DS applies to the 2019-2020 academic year: from 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2020.

For students starting their degree program on 1 February 2020, two different DS-EERs apply

consecutively during their first “year”: the current one and that of the next academic year (but

the differences are mostly small).

Did you enrol in a previous academic year for the degree program? And is the degree program

working with a renewed curriculum or modified EER regulations? You can read how this is

organized in chapter 8 (Transition Regulations) of the EER.

1.4 How are the DS and EER compiled?

The Degree Statute for the program is drafted each year based on the Model DS/EER: a model

that applies for the entire HAN. It is adopted by the Faculty Board. The model is always based

on the Model DS and the Model EER of the current academic year.

The faculty council exercises the participation rights on the EER and DS, but only in so far as

the HAN Participation Council has not already exercised these rights through the Model EER

and in so far as these rights have not been conferred to the degree committee. How this

exactly works is set out in the Regulations of the HAN Participation Council and the Regulations

of the Degree Committee.

The advice of the degree programs board of examiners is requested in advance.

The relevant HAN organizational bodies strive to publish the new DS and the new EER before 1

June.

2 Education at HAN

Your degree program is part of the educational offerings of HAN University of Applied

Sciences. HAN has an overarching vision on higher education. Your degree program embodies

this vision in its own way. This chapter describes HAN’s mission, vision and culture.

2.1 Mission

At HAN we educate you in such a way that you are optimally prepared for your future or

current profession. But that is not the only goal of our education. Other goals are for you to

continue developing your social awareness and for you to be able to contribute to innovation

in a complex, dynamic and international society, now and in the future. We have subdivided

this mission as follows:

We want to give you a good Qualification for your future profession.

As a professional, you never work alone, but always in collaboration with others. We call

that educating you as a Network Professional. As a result, you learn to work well with

others and across borders. You also learn how you as a professional relate to the

historical context of your field. This gives you insight into what is expected of you now

and in the future.

We want to offer you a challenging program at Masters level where you can learn to

address problems in a systematic, solution-led manner supported by applied research.

We want to contribute to your Personal Development, so that you grow as a professional

and pursue lifelong learning. After all, your knowledge and skills are the basis of your

profession, but who you are, your qualities and your approach make the difference.

We want you to learn a sense of social responsibility, ethics and citizenship for your

profession; to learn that you have to mean something for other people in your

profession. This is often indicated with the term Bildung.

2.2 Vision

We achieve these goals together with you. Below you can read how.

- You learn in context. You get experience in practice. That helps you to understand the

complexity of your work. Learning is not something you do on your own. Your lecturers

stimulate learning with and from each other.

- You learn in the triangle of education-research-professional practice. You conduct

research, for example on the quality of work in the professional field of your choice, or on

the possibilities for innovation. This allows you to contribute to the development of your

profession. Also, in the case of new developments, you can quickly adapt to what is

needed to perform your work optimally.

- HAN University of Applied Sciences has a large number of research groups. These groups

account for the research at universities of applied sciences. They are also involved in the

degree programs. You can, for example, get research experience within a research group

in collaboration with the professional field. You can find all the research groups on our

website: www.han.nl/onderzoek/kennismaken/lectoraten.

Page 8: Degree Statute the Master’s Degree Program · 2020-06-09 · Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute) 3 Preface Welcome to

Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute)

8

- Personal tutoring and the student as partner. You are assigned a personal tutor for the

full duration of your studies. At HAN we want you as a student to feel acknowledged,

seen and heard. We also involve you in the organization of the degree program. This is

what we call ‘student as partner’. Each department has the freedom to organize its

education in such a way that it suits you as a student and the degree program. You can

read more about this in part 1 chapter 3 and part 2 chapter 4.

- Education with options. Besides your regular study program, we also give you various

options to choose from. For example, you can choose a graduation specialization. You

can read more about these options in the EER. In addition, we stimulate you to get

research experience, for example, at the research groups of HAN University of Applied

Sciences in an innovation lab or at a workplace learning location. For advice on your

choices, go to your lecturers and other HAN advisors.

- Internationalization @home or abroad. During their studies, all HAN students get to

experience the international context of their field.

2.3 Quality culture

HAN University of Applied Sciences fosters a culture of quality. A culture in which everyone

contributes in some way to high-quality education and a smoothly running organization. Below

you can read how.

2.3.1 Highly qualified staff

Our lecturers are highly educated. Many of them have worked in the professional field for

which they are educating students. Others have research experience relevant to this field. The

lecturers also have good teaching skills, which they acquired through training. This means they

know how to guide you properly in your learning. The examiners also have the necessary

qualifications. All our support staff are also properly trained in their fields. They all perform

high-quality work.

Because our departments collaborate with our research groups, researchers and professors

are also involved in education. This helps you to further develop your own inquiring attitude,

for example. The research group also allows you to discover the latest research results and

innovations in your field.

2.3.2 Stimulating growth and an attitude of learning

We want you to grow so you can successfully complete your studies. This is not achieved

simply through supervision. We also challenge you to be the best you can be and we train you

to become ever more independent in your studies. We stimulate you to be proactive in your

studies and we help you to continue developing your professional work attitude. You can

expect your lecturers to be available and respond to your questions quickly and clearly. You

can also ask for support when you are falling behind or when you are willing and able to do

more. Read more about this in the EER.

2.3.3 Responsible for quality

Each degree program has a quality plan. This plan, but also the EER, describes how students

evaluate the education and indicate what needs to be improved. It also describes how

students are closely and actively involved in improving their degree programs. Student

involvement and participation are important to us. But it is even more important that staff

members, students and the professional field related to your degree program, each in their

own way, are involved in or take responsibility for the degree program and HAN as an

institution. For example, for the quality of lectures, timetables, the curriculum, supervision at

your work/placement organization, examination and other forms of renewal and

improvement.

We invite you, as a student, to play an active role in this. This attitude will also be important in

your work. So we also regularly ask you for your opinion on the program. We do this in (digital)

surveys, an annual national student survey, and in oral evaluations in class at the end of a

period. We also invite you to actively collaborate on renewal and quality improvement. For

example, by improving the content and exams of the degree program or improving logistical or

organizational points: together with lecturers and/or support staff.

We also reflect on how we organize our education and research, on who we do it for and why

we do it in the way we do. We check our conclusions regularly with all involved parties; this

means you, but also lecturers, researchers and professionals from the field. Every 6 years each

degree program is officially monitored by the NVAO (Accreditation organization of the

Netherlands and Flanders).

2.3.4 Inspiring and interactive environment

We want you to be inspired by your degree program. For example, by getting the latest

information on developments in your field. And we always try to create an open, interactive,

safe and familiar learning environment. We encourage everyone to give each other honest

feedback.

3 Information about your degree program

3.1 Mission and vision of your degree program

The Master’s Degree Program Engineering Systems is a program of Applied Sciences. This

means that knowledge and techniques from fundamental research are applied in an industrial

environment, where complex processes require advanced systems. The Applied Sciences take

definite shape in the minor projects and the final master thesis: the Major Project.

We educate people to be engineers who are capable of solving complex, practice-related

problems themselves. In this context teamwork is at the centre of the Minor Projects of all

modules. Engineering Systems describes all aspects that are necessary to design, to develop, to

improve, to use and to maintain a technical system. Engineering Systems encompasses all

stages and all aspects of the life cycle; so not only the technical content, but also the working

methods, including the business processes: the focus is on systems thinking.

This approach is in keeping with the aim of the professional master: the professional practice

provides the frame of reference for the development of the curriculum. After completing the

master’s degree program, you are considered, as a highly qualified technical professional, to

be able to make a contribution to the development of your profession and your organization,

across the boundaries of his own discipline.

The focus of the Master’s Degree Program is the modelling of smart, dynamic systems, which

are systems that perceive and respond to the world around them. Because of this focus, the

program has two modules that all students work through: Systems Modelling and Applied

Control.

Our views on target groups and the realization of education are part of our presentation: our

views on cooperative learning are important for the realization of our education. We offer

education for mixed groups, which means students who proceed straight from a bachelor to a

master program (both international students and students from HAN bachelors) and part-

timers. They all bring their own contribution and learn from each other.

The area of expertise of the Engineering Systems Engineer does not stop at the border. On the

contrary: the programs are taught completely in English to accommodate the international

context in which the program functions. Society is changing at an increasingly faster rate. This

is also true for professions and labor organizations. Professionals are facing issues of increasing

complexity. All these issues require a multidisciplinary and cross-sectorial approach.

Page 12: Degree Statute the Master’s Degree Program · 2020-06-09 · Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute) 3 Preface Welcome to

Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute)

3.2 Content and organization of your degree program

The curriculum is constructed of elements with focus on theory, application and skills, in

relationship to the end-qualifications as defined in the next chapter. The teaching units are

organized around a theme. In every module the student is offered theoretical background (7.5

EC), Capita Selecta (2.5 EC) and a project (5 EC).

With most of these activities including literature survey, oral presentations and reporting, the

student will obtain guidelines in presentation and reporting skills, and will receive comments

on these communication achievements for a majority of his/her presentation and reporting

results.

Design of these activities as well as the assessments will be such that you will develop skills to

formulate a problem, to solve that in a step-by-step iterative approach and to draw

conclusions, which are of value to and in communication with the (non-specialist) problem

owner(s), see figure. You will also practice skills to analyze the problem at an abstract level and

break it up into elements to understand their relationships and organization (system analysis)

and to interpret the individual element performance in terms of the total engineering system

performance (synthesis). Non-technical skills will be addressed as well, including working in

teams (multidisciplinary, with a global international focus), self-management of the learning

process, and research skills.

Each semester consists of two periods. A period lasts between 9 and 10 weeks. The units of

study are a combination of lectures, assignments, exercises, etc. for one specific topic. The

scores for all parts of a program should be satisfactory (all pass).

3.3 How we educate and supervise

The purpose of the program is to educate you so that you can operate at Master level.

The intended learning outcomes of the master’s degree program are based on the professional

profiles and/or professional qualifications drawn up by (or in collaboration with) the relevant

professional field.

3.4 System of quality assurance for the technical master’s degree programs

The aim of our quality assurance is to work continuously on improving and guaranteeing

quality. The degree programs regularly (twice per module) surveys the opinions of students on

all kinds of matters relating to education in its broadest sense. This first relates to the

education that students participated in during certain periods, but also to matters such as the

study materials, scheduling of contact hours and study tasks.

4 Final qualifications for the degree program and professional requirements

4.1 The professional field

Associated large industries and specialized companies acknowledge the need for Systems

Engineers at Master’s level. This is reflected in the support of a number of companies. The

HAN research and competence groups work with students for projects in the industry. The

professional research and teaching staff support students in the broad field of engineering.

The HAN research centres do important work in the field of research and educational

innovation. They maintain a growing network with other educational institutions, the business

community, local authorities and non-profit organizations in the region. With their research,

professors respond to issues encountered by these organizations in practice. They involve

(Masters) students, lecturers and doctoral candidates in this process. Each research centre has

its own knowledge network, consisting of a group of experts from both education and the

professional field. This assures that a continuous process of coordination with professional

practice can take place.

The following research centres and professors are involved in the program:

HAN Automotive Research Lector: Dr. P.A. Veenhuizen and

Lector: Dr. ir. Frans Tillema

HAN Control Systems Research Group Lector: Dr. ir. A.J. de Graaf

HAN Lean Research Group Lector: Dr. ir. J. Slomp

HAN Sustainable Energy Group Lector: Dr. M. Smit

The Research Groups are contributing to and controlling the quality of the Master program by

supplying considerable human input of lecturers and presence in

the Program Board

the Master Advisory Counsel

the Board of examiners

Program Committee

Teaching in courses / units of study

by coaching major project students

by pre-assessing the reports of the major projects

To monitor the quality of the program, HAN attaches great importance to the opinions of

experts from the professional field for which the program trains its students. The Professional

Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from the professional field and field of

work. These experts assemble several times a year in the meetings of the Professional Advisory

Committee.

Exam Board (Board of Examiners)

The Exam Board establishes whether a student meets the conditions described in the

Education and Examination Regulations with regard to the knowledge, insight and skills

needed to obtain the Master’s degree. The Exam Board appoints examiners to administer and

grade exams. The members are appointed by the faculty director.

The tasks and responsibilities of our Exam Board can be found in the Regulations of the Exam

Board. These include additional rules regarding assessment and examination in so far as these

are within the powers of the board of examiners. See also the Regulations of the Board of

Examiners (part 4 of this degree statute).

Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute)

28

The Exam Board decides, amongst other things, whether you meet the conditions to graduate,

as set out in the EER. You must have the required knowledge, understanding and skills. If you

do, you receive your degree certificate.

Other duties and powers of the board of examiners include:

Assuring exam quality

Granting exemptions

Handling requests for extra exam opportunities

Handling requests for modified exam formats

Granting an increase of study load

Handling complaints.

Your department has appointed (an) external supervisor(s). An external supervisor evaluates

whether the quality of the final assessment of the Master’s degree is sufficient. The external

supervisor is not an examiner.

You can find all the further rules on exams and final assessments that apply to you in the EER.

For rules on the organization of exams and final assessments, please refer to the Regulations

of the Exams Office.

The Board of Examiners of this Master’s degree program is composed of the following

members:

Jaap Kerstma member

Harold van der Zee member

Martine Krabbendam administrative secretary

7.2.2 Participation of students and staff at faculty and degree level

Below is a short overview of the committees and councils of HAN University of Applied

Sciences. They discuss and also influence the policies and decisions made at HAN.

Degree committee

Each degree program or group of programs has a degree committee. A degree committee

consists of the same number of lecturers as students. The degree committee advises the

department about promoting and guaranteeing the quality of the degree program. Each year it

also evaluates the degree programs compliance with the EER. The degree committee also has

the right to be consulted on various matters. Through this committee, you can contribute ideas

and make decisions about the curriculum and organization of your degree program. Would you

like to join the degree committee? The members of the Degree Committee can give you more

information. The degree committee has its own regulations (see Part 5).

Page 29: Degree Statute the Master’s Degree Program · 2020-06-09 · Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute) 3 Preface Welcome to

Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute)

29

The members of the degree committee are:

Rik Catau Chair of the Degree Committee

Carolien Stroomer member

Frans Tillema member

Robert van Breukelen member

Allard de Keizer member

Faculty council

Each faculty has a faculty council. The faculty council has the right to discuss all faculty matters

and put questions to the management, which is obliged to give reasoned responses to these

questions. The faculty council has right of consent in matters concerning policies, budget,

education and examination regulations, etc. A faculty council consists of 12 members: 6 staff

members and 6 students. As a student or lecturer, you can participate in discussions in the

faculty council about the policies of the faculty as a whole, but also about the policy of the

institutes within the faculty. See Insite > 'About us' for information about the composition of

the faculty council and the official support

Participation Council

The Participation Council allows staff and students to participate at HAN level. The council has

a right of consent on certain aspects of policy, on the main features of the institution budget,

the general applicable part of the Education and Examination Regulations and more. The

Participation Council consists of 16 members: eight staff and eight students. The Participation

Council deals with general HAN policy.

Would you like to join the Participation Council? Ask the program manager for more

information. Would you like to learn more about the Participation Council? Are you curious

about who is on this council? Go to HAN Insite: www.han.nl/insite and click on ‘Participation’

in the left column.

7.3 Student facilities

Personal tutoring is an important part of the study program. It aims to help the student to

make the right choices during the studies and for his/her career afterwards. At the start of the

academic year, the student will be assigned a personal tutor. The student has individual

meetings with his/her personal tutor in which he/she discusses study skills, study behavior, the

programs he/she needs to follow and personal development. The personal tutoring program

includes a number of information sessions either specifically for the class or a broader

audience.

The tutor discusses the progress with the student at least once per half year (full-time) or once

per year (part-time program).

Lecturers may take the initiative for an additional interview with a student, for example if

results are less than expected. This initiative may also be taken by the student. This interview

Page 30: Degree Statute the Master’s Degree Program · 2020-06-09 · Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute) 3 Preface Welcome to

Degree Statute academic year 2019 2020, Technical Masters, Part 1, General Part (degree statute)

30

aims to discuss the student’s progress and to indicate where adjustments are

required/expected and what the student’s possibilities are. A report of the meeting is made.

In addition, at the completion of each module it is normal procedure to provide the student

with a student evaluation form to address directly any relevant issues arising from the study of

that module. As this feedback questionnaire is an important part of the program monitoring

process, we urge each student to co-operate in the completion and return of these

questionnaires. On a yearly basis, the student is requested to fill in the NSE questionnaire

where he/she can judge the program on many aspects.

Tasks of the personal tutor

The personal tutor functions as a link between the student and the study program (program,

examinations, work placement and graduation assignment). The personal tutor has various

tasks. He/she:

Discusses the student’s choice of a program;

Supports the student in reflecting on competences and whether the student can use

this reflection to justify the choice of program;

Stimulates the student to take responsibility for his/her learning and ‘learning to

learn’;

Helps the student if he/she has questions/problems with the studies;

If the student’s studies are delayed or disrupted due to personal circumstances or a disability,

he/she can discuss this with the personal tutor. He or she can help the student work out a

solution.

In case a student needs direct help, he/she should turn to the support of the

Program Manager, Mrs. Bouwman

Program Secretary and coaches
