Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Civil engineering is the technical foundation of our modern world. To give a few examples, the structure of your house was designed by civil engineers, just as were the drains and the water mains. Thanks to civil engineers you can ride your bike to school on a road with a smooth and stable surface and the school too exists thanks to civil engineering.

Studying Civil Engineering means helping to build the future. Civil engineers not only make the world safe, liveable and accessible, but also ensure that a country remains safe, liveable and accessible as the climate changes and the economy makes new demands.

Companies are eager to employ civil engineers! Moreover, all kinds of consultancy firms and even banks give preference to an engineer. So it’s no surprise that right now there is a shortage of engineers and that this will increase even more in the coming years. So once you have completed your civil engineering studies your job opportunities are good.
