Basic engineering courses

As part of the Bachelor College, Industrial Design bachelor students of Eindhoven University of Technology must complete three generic engineering courses (also referred to as basic engineering courses), two ITEC courses, a multidisciplinaty CBL project and develop their professional skills. These courses and skills provide the foundation for the Eindhoven Engineer, and support the acquisition of transversal knowledge, which is needed to take electives and coherent elective packages outside the Major. The generic engineering courses relate to and support development in the different Areas of Expertise.

The overview below shows which area of expertise is addressed in which course(s). Some basic engineering courses are offered in different variants for different degree programs. ID students can take Calculus variant A, but other variants are also allowed, if you prefer one of those. Do not forget to register for the basic enigneering courses before the regular registration deadlines. You can find these in the Year Planning on the Forms and Files page. Only first year students are registered automatically for the basic course in Q1. From Q2 onwards, you have to register yourself through Osiris for both the courses and examinations.
